  44 A better way is the introduction of an enforcer, which does not quit after
  45 1 minute. Then people would need to release/ghost with the proper
  46 password, else the enforcer would persist. Still, there is a need of
  47 discovering passwrod crackers.

  49 But suspend is a very militant penalty.

  60 I would share this patch, but you have to keep in mind, that this is not a
  61 small thing. The authentication system I wrote consists of two additional
  62 information for each registered nickname.   Combined with other features
  63 I've added, this information is written to another db, and loaded right
  64 after nick.db. In this case, the other information remains specific to my
  65 network, so you may think to include the auth information in the nick.db.
  66 But then, you will lose compatibility with the current services development,
  67 because Mr.Church does not need to support my extensions. And also, the
  68 mailing services are not added to services, yet.
  69
  70 I would suggest waiting for a solution, must of us will accept. If you are
  71 still interested in my coding, I might provide you privately with the
  72 proper url, but keep in mind, that the source should be considered as
  73 beta.
