I ran into this problem twice today... Two people from the same IP. One is an operator. Other is a griefer. Banning the griefer name does nothing, since he creates a new account and rejoins. Banning by IP doesn't work because it bans my best operator.

This is what I posted on the MCLawl forums:

We need a whitelist / blacklist for our servers. It'd be nice to have a place to say "ban all users from this ip EXCEPT this name". I hate banning some of the greatest builders because their brothers are complete jerks. This banning method is found in almost every piece of server software (FileZilla Server comes to thought), and it is a necessity for a good server. I don't know why someone didn't think of this sooner.

If MCLawl doesnt' fix it soon or even bother with it, I'd like to know if there is a way to force my MCZall r40 to work with scripts, either through injection (not fun) or some module to send commands to the console. Aka: constantly watch the server logs and ban all players whose IP's match my blacklist, but allow all players in my whitelist to play.

Blacklist:
1.2.3.4

Whitelist
MyAdmin

Above: MyAdmin is allowed to connect from any IP, even 1.2.3.4

Please help, this should be a major issue for all of our servers!

As I posted on the MCLawl forums, I'll look into doing a whitelist. It's a good idea.
