I'm trying to pinpoint a problem user who I think has multiple user names.. Is there an easy hack that will let me cross reference ALL IPS/USERS to see which users have posted with the same IP?

Ok.. last Time.... ttt

Using 6.2?

Go check out the member search area of the control panel.

Not using 6.2? Upgrade.

Oh cool. They add that in...

About darn time.

Hey Charles, thanks for the reply.. I'm not sure if I 'm seeing it.. but what I want, is:

I don't want to give it an IP to search for, I want the UBB to process all IP's that it has in its logs, and see if any match, therefore, telling me if one IP has multiple usernames

Jason

If you're bound and determined to get it done... all the IPs are storeed in the Members/user_posts/ directory...

Thanks.. is there a command prompt that will search for matches in linux?

Jason

Well, you COULD use Perl.. But that might be overkill.

Try this instead:

cd path/to/Members/user_posts
grep 192.168.0.1 * | more

That'll dump lines that match '192.168.0.1' in all the files... it'll list the filename (member number) from time to time as well... It will take some time to execute.

Thanks Charles

Jason
