[Opensim-users] Banning

[InuYasha Meiji]

I haven't a suggestion on which program scans IP and MAC addresses , but 
I suppose, if a griefer  gets really bad, you could use an IP and mac 
address scanner, to then ban the mac address from your router.  That 
would then keep those MAC addressess from connecting to your network at 
all.  This might be a way to perma ban people from that particular machine.
