I have a problem with someone that many times a day connect, but never login or create a char...how could I add a log showing the IP of someone that connects but doesn’t log on ?

all that I see in game is:

[ Losing descriptor without char. ]

The log message comes from here: github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/master/src/comm.c#L2092

You can alter it slightly:
Code:
- mudlog(CMP, LVL_IMMORT, TRUE, "Losing descriptor without char."); + mudlog(CMP, LVL_IMMORT, TRUE, "Losing descriptor without char. Source IP: %s", d->host);
At least I think that should work.

Ok it shows the DNS. Any chance that it could revolve the IP number instead ?

Not directly. Currently, the code finds the hostname for the connecting host and only that is stored in the descriptor. The code that does this is here:
github.com/tbamud/tbamud/blob/5305783e1b...342/src/comm.c#L1516

So you could rewrite to support both, or change the lookup to only use numeric address and ignore the hostname. But it will need coding.
