[Opensim-users] Can this be done?

[Imago]

*laughing* Thanks. But I was mostly looking for if you could stop a viewer 
by name. Most script kiddies come in with viewers they downloaded off the 
internet. So, if you or anyone else knows where to add something to the 
opensim code to block viewers I guess it would be by channels or something. 
Please share it. I know a couple opensim's that don't allow certain viewers, 
but I'm at a loss on how they block them.
