  35 <PRE>Hello,
  36
  37 On our network we're currently taking a look on how we can make things more
  38 secure. And while doiung that we came up with a couple of ideas to improve
  39 IRCServices.
  40
  41 One of the things we did is link all of our servers through SSL, and gave
  42 clients the option to connect through SSL as well. Now the only thing on our
  43 net that isn't connected through SSL is Services.
  44 Are there any plans to add this to IRCServices? I didn't see anything about
  45 it in the TODO.
  46
  47 The second idea is about the encrypted passwords. As stated in the
  48 IRCServices documentation SENDPASS and GETPASS won't work with encryption
  49 enabled because of the way md5 works.
  50 This introduces the problem that users will have to contact an Oper in case
  51 they lose their password.
  52 Would it be possible to, when encryption is enabled, change the behaviour of
  53 SENDPASS so that it won't send the user's password (because this is not
  54 possible), but generate a new random password for the user and send that to
  55 the user's e-mail address instead?
  56
  57 Grtz,
  58 Rodecker
