[CIMC-work] [Fwd: Re: Finding IP addresses]

[Ian Bicking]

So, here's what we can do to figure out what the guy's IP address is, so 
we can block him.  Is it still enough of a problem that we should turn 
this on (temporarily)?  If we do, someone should tell me when he posts 
(and what he posted) so I can turn the logging off and look through logs 
for his IP.

The IP blocking system in dadaIMC will accept either real IPs, or the
MD5-encrypted IPs used in some circumstances. If you have debugging set
(I think) to 3, you should be able to capture the encrypted IP address
in the dadaphp.log, which should output some information at that level
of debugging (like "Saved new article with heading 'Foo'", with the
encrypted IP at the beginning).

The only other option is to reconfigure your Apache .conf file to log
IPs until you notice a post from that user.
