  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>I have RAW commands enabled (runnign Unreal ircd 3.1.3, and
  35 </I>IRCServices 5.0beta0) in the config  for services....
  36 &gt;<i>
  37 </I>&gt;<i>But Inotice they are restricted to Services SuperUser only... how
  38 </I>can I make them available to Services Admins also?

  40 There is no reason in operational use on a network that you should
  41 need to use RAW. That's the official line. If you really trust your
  42 SAs to use it semi-responsibly (and I wouldn't - a one-liner can kill
  43 your network), and you want them to be able to do funky things with
  44 RAW, then you'll have to modify the code yourself. It's a very simple
  45 change, but I don't have access to the code at the moment so I can't
  46 show you.

  48 note: I love using raw to confuse people as an SA myself, but I don't
  49 agree with giving SAs that power (I don't run the network). I haven't
  50 crashed anything using RAW for several years, using the command
  51 weekly almost ;) (in contrast... I crashed our net's epona services
  52 last week using JUPE... *ahem* no comment lol). However I consider
  53 myself an expert at RAW use (LOL) and a simple mistake like /msg
  54 operserv raw join #channel can cause your whole network to die. Not
  55 good. I strongly advise against it, but I see why people want to use
  56 it (I only use it myself because it's there ;)).
