[Opensim-users] List of banned viewers for config files?

[Akira Sonoda]

Hi Fleep,

First, banning viewers is not a good thing, especially not on osgrid,
because osgrid is here for testing the OpenSimulator under real life usage
and as far as i know OpenSim wants to support all of the viewers floating
around.

Buuuuut ... it is really annoying to have a sim crashing when you have a
party with some 15 to 30 people partying. Therefore I enabled on *one* of
the 50 sims i am maintaining, the following rules:

AllowedClients="Phoenix|Imprudence|Cool|Singularity|Firestorm|0.6.3"
BannedClients="Singularity 1.7"

Those should support most of the used viewers:

Firestorm is in, because many people use it. This is the riskiest part
because with my avatar i crash ( or at least produce ACK timeouts for all
viewers ) the sims all the time using the latest Firestorm.

If you have your own grid, then you can apply viewer restrictions on grid
level.

Take care,
Akira
