  • add ability to clear one ip from memory

    From Nigel Reed@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 19:56:14
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/1124

    Any chance of an option to clear one ip from the in memory ip block such as touch ctrl/clear.1.2.3.4 or ctrl/clear.abcd::efff:whatever ?

    It sucks having to clear them all just to clear one IP. Would prefer if the semaphore is deleted afterwards so a bunch of ctrl/clear.* files don't build up.

    Thanks,

    I think the bigger question is: why is having an IP "in memory" a problem? What's going on that it needs to be cleared? There might be something else afoot that should be addressed first.

    Because I was helping a user who had locked himself out because of another issue that I need to file a bug for. The other IPs are obviously blocked for a reason.

    Rather than placing the IP address in the sem file name, just write the IP address *to* the sem file (or post the MQTT clear topic).

    Sounds good. Thank you.
