  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>Hi!, the first of one thanks for ircservices, i'm very pleasured with
  35 </I>&gt;<i>it. I'm using IRCservices with Unreal irc server with a java applet
  36 </I>&gt;<i>client. I need to forbib connetions from other clients like mirc, etc. I
  37 </I>&gt;<i>only want to allow conections from my java applet client. Is it
  38 </I>&gt;<i>possible?=20
  39 </I>
  40      This is more of an IRC server issue; depending on how the applet is
  41 designed, you should be able to configure your IRC server to, for example,
  42 only allow connections with a password and have your applet send that
  43 password when connecting (though of course this is not very secure if
  44 someone decides to e.g. monitor the network traffic).  To do this with
  45 Services would require writing a module that sent CTCP VERSION (or some
  46 other way to check whether the client is your applet or another program)
  47 and killed users using a different client, and again this would still be
  48 susceptible to users forging the CTCP VERSION reply.
  49
  50      In general, there's no foolproof way to do what you're asking, but
  51 either of the above methods will probably block 99.9% of users, which is
  52 probably good enough.
