a client that i work for is having a problem. he changed passwords and make new accounts for his nuke admin(he has sentinel 2.4.2 installed) he used the edit admin page in nuke, he didnt do anything though sentinel or knows how to. so after chaning his passwords and editing accounts and such, he goes to his computer at work and trys loging on with his new admin account, he said he tryed loging on then sentinel baned him, and redirected him to google.com(wich I choose for the site when people get fowared to after being baned) but he said it all works fine on his home computer but not his work computer, and the account that I have on his site Iam now unable to log into and it just hads news admin, Iam thinking we have to do something with a htaccess file or do something on the "auth admin" page in sentinel

next question is, on the auth admin page in sentinel what is that for?? on my site the only thing that is protected is the super admin, it says "yes" under protected, do all my admins need to have yes under protected or what, please let me know, sorry for doing alot of spelling errors, Iam in a hurry to go somewhere, thanks in advance for any help

Please carefully read the NukeSentinel(tm) Documentation for the best understanding of the system. The Auth Admin List will display the admins that NS knows about. Whenever you add new admins you must always use NS to Scan For New Admins. That way crackers can't just automatically add new admins to NS. Also, you must be a *God* admin to perform that function. Initially when you set up NS, you must set all passwords for all admins. Then, if you choose to protect them, that means that under most circumstances, you can test an exploit, as an admin, and you will see the Blocking screens but you will not actually be blocked.

Also, in the future, pleas be more informative in your subject lines. Thanks!
