I noticed that when players try to log in with one of the following logins: aux, com1, com2, com3,... com9, as well as lpt1...lpt9, the samp-server.exe crashes.
This happens only if the computer is running windows.
I would like to request a modification in the client that would block these nicks, as even banning them is not enough, as the ban test happens after the player already sends a request to log in.

It would be best if the samp client would prompt the user with a message warning that those nicks are not allowed, and no info at all is sent to the server

This is a very old problem. Search, there are scripts available that stop this issue.

It seems that there is only a problem with those names and fopen.

I know that this is an old bug, that affects windows based systems, but it would be good to fix it, as it causes great frustration in inexperienced scripters.
I fixed the problem in my gamemode, but it upsets me when I see a new person facing the same problem, that affected so many in some stage of the development of the code. For this reason I proposed the topic.
