44A better way is the introduction of an enforcer, which does not quit after
451 minute. Then people would need to release/ghost with the proper
46password, else the enforcer would persist. Still, there is a need of
47discovering passwrod crackers.

49But suspend is a very militant penalty.

60I would share this patch, but you have to keep in mind, that this is not a
61small thing. The authentication system I wrote consists of two additional
62information for each registered nickname. Combined with other features
63I've added, this information is written to another db, and loaded right
64after nick.db. In this case, the other information remains specific to my
65network, so you may think to include the auth information in the nick.db.
66But then, you will lose compatibility with the current services development,
67because Mr.Church does not need to support my extensions. And also, the
68mailing services are not added to services, yet.

70I would suggest waiting for a solution, must of us will accept. If you are
71still interested in my coding, I might provide you privately with the
72proper url, but keep in mind, that the source should be considered as
73beta.
