  One problem the code as written (or other code as written) is that the 
ban_file doesn't sit in the /var tree, but instead /etc (these are really 
derived from configure directories - I think /etc is considered the 
configuration duration, and /var is the dynamic directory).  This may be an 
issue in that I believe that files in /etc (and /share) are not required to be 
writable by a running server.  This may not actually be an issue for any server 
that actually runs, but if the ban_file is writable from a running server, it 
should probably get moved into the var tree.

  As for killing off a socket, just set pl->socket->status = Ns_Dead (might not 
have all the variable names set right there, but that should be a good 
approximation).

  The socket code will see the socket is marked dead, and do appropriate cleanup 
(disconnect, save player, etc).  The actual socket code doesn't really care why 
the socket is now dead - Ns_Dead can also be set if the socket falsl too far 
behind in processing information from the server.
