<pre>2) "Ground" incoming remote self-spots:
- Backup the file /spider/perl/DXProt.pm
- Edit this file
- Look for the line:
# bash down the list of bands until a valid one is reached
- Just BEFORE this line, copy/paste the 4 lines below:
<x-tab> </x-tab>if (($_[2]
=~ $_[6]) || ($_[6] =~ $_[2])) {
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>dbg("PC11:
self: $_[6] attempted to spot $_[2]");
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>return;
<x-tab> </x-tab>}
</pre>Well done Robert, I can't see where to add the above 4 lines into
the DXProt.pm file for build 58.304<br><br>

That's exactly what I've been doing for over one year on my node<br>
HB9IAC-8 and the trick to do so that was posted on this list on<br>
May 7th, 2004 (it can be seen in the DXspider-support archive).<br><br>
Both local and distant self-spots are stopped and local offenders<br>
receive an appropriate warning message.<br><br>
This requires adding a few lines in 2 files in the source code:<br>
dx.pl (for local spots) and DXProt.pm (for distant spots).<br>
I did that for DXSpider 1.51 build 57.245 (a bit old now)<br>
but the same code should be applicable to other versions.<br><br>
BUT it would be much better if Dirk would change one day his mind<br>
about this problem and allow us to set a variable at program start<br>
so that each sysop can choose if he (and his users) want this kind<br>
of information or not...<br><br>
