I am having a problem with one of my admins. When he selects certain option in the nuke admin menu, he gets messages, i assume, from Sentinel, stating he is banned.
I (as admin) then get an email telling me his IP Address range has been banned.
What might be causing this to happen to him? What did I miss in setting him up?
Also, I do not know what a "protected" range is, and am wondering if I set this up for his IP Address range, would this prevent this?
thanks,
pklocke |

You must be a superadmin to make changes in sentinel, have you checked this? |

Well...I am superadmin, and I believe I have also made this other gent, superadmin, as well.
But I guess, my biggest question is, at this point: What is a protected range?
Thanks |

I'm sorry, I was tired and only half read your post.
The protected range is the range of IP's protected from banning by sentinel |

This is kinda hillarious, but that was my post (I am spurtus) from when I asked about this last summer. YOu will note that he does not actually say what a protected range is. The way he defines it, using the very terms I am asking to define, didn't really help. So, I am still wondering. It is kinda like saying that the definition of the word "Dog" is: A creature that is called a dog.
It doesn't really tell me what a protected range is. I am "guessing" that it might be a range of addresses that won't get blocked for any reason, if they are "crawling" the site for info. Just my guess.
In the context of this thread, I was wondering if it was blocking my partner's access to admin (as it had banned him, for no apparent reason).
Anyway, I do appreciate the research you did. Found it ironic that it pointed back to my "spurtus" post.
I may just be too dense to live...

Hi - this may be nothing to do with your problem, but recently I started getting users randomly banned by Sentinel.
Turned out that IANA has allocated some previously reserved ranges, and so Sentinel thought my users were using invalid IPs.
The quick and dirty solution was to remove the affected IP ranges using Display Reserved Ranges function. The correct solution is to update sentinel and download the latest tables. |

Many thanks for the tip with Reserved Range function. It solved a problem a user of mine had with invalid IP-address when trying to access my site. |
