  36 &gt;<i> I would like the ability for Services Admins to be able to set a user
  37 </I>&gt;<i> password using an MD5 hash, when using MD5 encrypted passwords with
  38 </I>&gt;<i> services. Normally, a user registers a nick and provides a plaintext
  39 </I>&gt;<i> password. This plaintext pass is then hashed and stored in the db (if
  40 </I>&gt;<i> encryption is enabled which I am saying is true in this instance.) I
  41 </I>&gt;<i> would like the ability for Services Admins to be able to *directly* set
  42 </I>&gt;<i> this parameter in a nick record. I.E. I would like to be able to change
  43 </I>&gt;<i> the *hashed* passwords of users. The only command for dealing with MD5
  44 </I>&gt;<i> passwords is resetting. It would seem trivial to add the ability to
  45 </I>&gt;<i> simply overwrite the MD5 hash parameter in the nick record. The reason
  46 </I>&gt;<i> being I am trying to automate a registration process that starts with a
  47 </I>&gt;<i> web forum registration and will (hopefully) also register a nick name on
  48 </I>&gt;<i> IRC for the user. I would only have the MD5 hash of the user's password
  49 </I>&gt;<i> though, which leads me to this request.

  51 Kind of off-topic here and out of curiousity, how do you aim to handle a
  52 situation where someone registers an account on your website which isn't
  53 usable as an IRC nick (for example &quot;Hello Bob&quot;)? I've been considering a
  54 problem like this for some time and I'd like to see how someone else is
  55 aiming to do it.
