Ban realname block
The ban realname block allows you to ban a client based on the GECOS (realname) field. This is useful to stop clone floods because often clone bots use the same realname.
Syntax
ban realname { mask <realname-mask>; reason <reason-for-ban>; };
The ban::mask specifies the realname which should be banned. The mask may contain wildcards. The ban::reason specifies the reason why this ban is being placed.
Example
ban realname { mask "Bob*"; reason "Bob sucks!"; };
