38 1) I can see via
"/nickserv info all
" if (and what) nicks are linked to
39 my nick (it's my nick, I'm AUTH, so I think is my right to have access
40 to all info about my nick)
42 2) I can unlink any nick linked to my nick without needing a password
43 (again, it's my nick, I should be able to see and decide if a link it's
46 then I can still use the LINK feature and take care of the problem
47 without asking someone else to handle it.
49 I dont't think I'm asking too much...again I should be able to modify
50 anything around my nick as long as I'm AUTH.
53 Thank you for reply
& understanding,
58 </I>><i> This is something I've mentioned a LONG time ago. Services opers (or is it
59 </I>><i> just services administrators?) can do a listlinks command on a nick to see
60 </I>><i> the linked nicks, and can then take care of the problem and make sure the
61 </I>><i> user changes his/her password. This is about all you can do to prevent
62 </I>><i> abuse. If linking is so much of a problem, it can always be totally disabled
63 </I>><i> in the configuration file. Or you can reinforce the use of strong passwords
64 </I>><i> or password rotation, or even better, both to all of your users. The
65 </I>><i> security issues really exists in the user and not the services.
