  34 <PRE>i can give you some code to do this which you could put in a module. Email me off the list if you are interested and understand that by applying such code to your services build officially it wont be supported :p
  35
  36 i will provide you with the code but due to being a very busy person at this time i cannot offer to adapt it for your use... this you must do yourself :P
  37
  38 Thanks,

  41 &gt;<i>Hi,
  42 </I>&gt;<i>
  43 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> Well in this case it is - hm - not good ;)
  44 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> In fact I get only one terribly awful kind-of-work-around procedure in
  45 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> mind: let your bot try to identify himself with the given password on
  46 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> the given nick/chan - if services reply positive - the pass might be
  47 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> the correct one.
  48 </I>&gt;<i>
  49 </I>&gt;<i>The problem with this of course is that the bot must first take the
  50 </I>&gt;<i>nickname of that user and that would be a problem if that user is
  51 </I>&gt;<i>already online in the network.
  52 </I>&gt;<i>
  53 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> But this one is NOT really elegant and I would consider it a
  54 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> high-security-risk and identifying for foreign nicks/chans is in my
  55 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> opinion abusive...
  56 </I>&gt;<i>
  57 </I>&gt;<i>When this is only possible for Services Admins, it would be that a risk
  58 </I>&gt;<i>(assuming the bot itself is secure enough that no harmfull commands
  59 </I>&gt;<i>could leak through).
  60 </I>&gt;<i>
  61 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> is it too complicate for users to learn some simple commands or to
  62 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> read the help for getting commands they want?
  63 </I>&gt;<i>
  64 </I>&gt;<i>I agree with you when you say this, including some of the people that
  65 </I>&gt;<i>are interested in computers and so, but I also host three game channels
  66 </I>&gt;<i>with total n00bs (sorry to express it this way) and since that's the
  67 </I>&gt;<i>largest group of all the users, they are my target. I want to make the
  68 </I>&gt;<i>page explain itself, with help text next to each field.
  69 </I>&gt;<i>
  70 </I>&gt;<i>Anyway, we agreed on unsetting password encryption and therefore forcing
  71 </I>&gt;<i>everybody to set the password again.
  72 </I>&gt;<i>When I have some things working, I'll send a notification message so
  73 </I>&gt;<i>people how are interested could take a look at it.
  74 </I>&gt;<i>
  75 </I>&gt;<i>- Mark
