  34 <PRE>     I'm not seriously considering SSL because I assume that if you're
  35 running Services and the ircd on separate machines, it's because you don't
  36 have enough CPU power to run them both, and adding SSL processing wouldn't
  37 help that condition.  If you do want to encrypt the data, I'd assume you
  38 could use tunnelling software to do it.  (Poor man's tunnel:
  39 ssh -L localport:remotehost:remoteport remotehost)
  40
  41      The suggestion of making SENDPASS generate a new password has been
  42 suggested before, and I'm considering it as a possibility for 5.1.

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