I installed Sentinel, so where is the Sentinel Module Block?

Ok so I installed NukeSentinel, and everything seems to be working fine with it.

However, I was expecting to get a block for my home page that had that gargoyle graphic and says "We have blocked X shameful hackers", (this site is using Sentinel...)

But I don't have anything like that Shocked

Did I do something wrong, or is that thing some extra thing I have to install?

That's in the blocks directory - you'll need to add it via the blocks admin. Personally, I'd rather not advertise the often spoofed IP addresses that get blocked...

In the blocks directory I have:

block-Sentinel.php
block-Sentinel_Center.php
block-Sentinel_Scrolling.php
block-Sentinel_Side.php

But in blocks administration I don't have any Sentinel thing.

All I have is:

Google
League Menu
Survey
League Stats
Administration
Who's Online
Search
Random Headlines
Login
Ladder Menu
Modules
Languages
User's Custom Box
Categories Menu
Big Story of Today
Old Articles
Information
Shout Box

I don't necessarily want that scrolling thing, but just at least something that says the site is using Sentinel and has blocked X number of hack attempts.

You have to add the block yourself. Go down to the filename drop down box and pick the sentinel block you want to add. Give it a name in the title box, set who can view it, then click create block.

Thanks man!

In retrospect that was clearly a noob PHP-Nuke question, not a Sentinel question, so thanks for the help.
