Someone needs to step in here and clear things up.

Quake and Quake 2 do in fact give away client IP addresses and even client
ports.
Worse than that, you do not even need to be connected to the server to get
this information.

Also, there _IS_ already a program floating around somewhere called "qkick"
which does something similar to what Mike suggested in order to disconnect
anyone from the Quake game they are currently connected to.

To my knowledge, id considers the Quake codebases dead, and is not planning
on any future revisions of their clients or servers.  With this in mind, I
think the fewer people who have qkick, the better.
