  34 <PRE>If the nickname is suitably protected, e.g. SET KILL IMMED and a limited
  35 access list, then the nickname cannot be used by anyone other than the
  36 actual services root so it will not happen.
  37
  38 If it is still of concern, expiring a suspension invoked purely by the
  39 invalid password trap would fix this since the nickname would return to use
  40 after a set period while still making life difficult enough for would be
  41 password crackers since they cannot &quot;brute force&quot; through multiple
  42 connections/logons and will have to wait a fair amount of time between
  43 attempts.
  44
  45 An &quot;accumulator&quot; could be used to invoke a permanent suspension for the case
  46 of a very determined and patient crack attempt.

  60 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;If this feature is enabled, a rogue user could suspend
  61 </I>&gt;<i> anyone's nick - even
  62 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;the services roots'. surely this is a bit of a problem? Comments?
  63 </I>&gt;<i>
  64 </I>&gt;<i>      Hm, this is a good point.  Suggestions (other than the
  65 </I>&gt;<i> obvious &quot;don't
  66 </I>&gt;<i> automatically suspend nicks&quot;)?
