  33 <!--beginarticle-->
  34 <PRE>     I neglected to mention an important side effect of the changes in
  35 password handling introduced in Services 5.0.56.  While the NickServ and
  36 ChanServ REGISTER commands do not allow spaces in passwords, the SET
  37 PASSWORD command did allow them prior to 5.0.56, so it is possible that
  38 some people have spaces in their passwords; in this case, commands such as
  39 RECOVER and DROP will no longer work.  This can be resolved by having the
  40 user first identify for the nickname or channel, then use SET PASSWORD to
  41 change the password to one that does not contain spaces.  (IDENTIFY
  42 processing has been left alone for 5.0 for this reason--it will also be
  43 changed in 5.1 to report a syntax error if a password with spaces is
  44 given.)
  45
  46      Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
