  34 <PRE>     This is known; if it causes problems, turn it off.  Services can
  35 already kill users for too many bad passwords, and I'm looking into
  36 alternative measures.

  43 </I>&gt;<i>
  44 </I>&gt;<i> REASON: Too many bad passwords (automatic suspend)
  45 </I>&gt;<i>
  46 </I>&gt;<i> I think it`s dangerous  for every Channel , when the
  47 </I>&gt;<i> automatic-suspend  is active.
  48 </I>&gt;<i> It can be used for kind of &quot;attacks&quot;.
  49 </I>&gt;<i>
  50 </I>&gt;<i> When I don&#180;t like a chan , I can  use the identify command with a
  51 </I>&gt;<i> lot of BAD
  52 </I>&gt;<i> PASSWORDS and the channel is on suspend.
  53 </I>&gt;<i> So nobody can use it anymore.
  54 </I>&gt;<i>
  55 </I>&gt;<i> I turned it now off.
  56 </I>&gt;<i>
  57 </I>&gt;<i> But is there a way to kline the one host , who identified with the
  58 </I>&gt;<i> wrong password instead of a suspend ?
  59 </I>&gt;<i>
  60 </I>&gt;<i> Or  set a kind of a supend on a IP /HOST .
  61 </I>&gt;<i> So that this person isnt able to identify _a_ nick anymore.
  62 </I>&gt;<i>
  63 </I>&gt;<i> Same Problem with Nickserv .
  64 </I>&gt;<i>
  65 </I>&gt;<i> The Services should ignore a host , when he does such attacks.
  66 </I>&gt;<i>
  67 </I>&gt;<i>
  68 </I>&gt;<i> Sorry,  my english is terrible , I know :(
  69 </I>&gt;<i>
  70 </I>&gt;<i>
  71 </I>&gt;<i> Thx
