Description Mike.lifeguard 2009-03-16 02:06:53 UTC
It is possible to create accounts which are formed like IP:127.0.0.1, and blocking that really blocks 127.0.0.1 instead of the username. This should not be the case - either such usernames are invalid, or this must block the user instead of the IP.
