Hi, I'm using lNet's tcp component and I need a way to allow only 3
connections.
Right now I'm closing sockets inside the onAccept event, but I'd like
something more secure.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to stop accepting after N connections you should
disconnect the server socket. I'm not sure if this will 100% work,
honestly I've never tried.

Try:

Code: [Select]LNet.IterReset;
Lnet.Iterator.Disconnect;

After all 3 connections were accepted. I'll look into this possibility
for 0.7.x

Thanks, but is there any way to use something like:
"tpsocket.StopListening" or "tcpsocket.Stop" without disconnect the
connected clients ?

Right now not AFAIK

I'll look at it during the weekend.
