I use visual studio.

your flame alert is nothing compared to mine.

I did a #define atoll(n) strtoll(n,(char **)NULL,10)

in the files that needed it.

Now I await my port to be unblocked.

My server is running FreeBSD 4.8, and apparently I don't have the 'atoll' function-so I thought I'd be clever and strip it down to atol. It worked and everything compiled (once I changed the macros in loader.c to not span multiple lines) and I went to start the server.

If the server accepts the hashed password rather than working the hash out on its own then you only need the hash, not the password, to connect. In this case a malicious server administrator could take over people's accounts other servers (in the case that the people were foolish and used the same ...

b j n

really confused me. I thought it might be dvorak, but it isn't. It definately isn't a german layout. I'm sure there is a really ...

You should't send the hashed password across the wire-otherwise it will be easier to spoof someone (or just as easy compared to today). I truly hope the linux version doesn't do this-but I suspect that it doesn't. The client has to have consistent behavior regardless of the server.

Sending it ...

okay, fair enough. What is this thing written in? C? What is the fuction prototype for the function in *nix? I'll make crappy hash function which will be better than nothing. Once applied one of the open source nazis will see it and have no choice but to make a good one.

Yeah, I'm running it on my windows box to see if it is fit for my community before installing it on my host. Why isn't Windows using a hash?

Why is the password stored in the playerfile as plaintext. Couldn't the password be a hash?
