I changed it in my current script, but I am not going to release this non-change change until I actually changed something in the script.
Just as a note for my default nickserv mask. Nobody asked me till now, but maybe some are intrested how this
Code: Select all
{PRIVMSG NickServ@services.euirc.net}
thing works. Some may notice: that is like the Q auth from quakenet. Actually its the same. But dont confuse this @ with the @ you know from hostmarks.
Let's first check a whois reply (as an example):
* [NickServ] (
services@euirc.net): Nickname Server
* [NickServ]
services.euirc.net :Services for euIRCnet [lanlos.org]
* [NickServ] is an IRC Operator on euIRCnet
As you may notice the thing after @ here is diffrent from the thing used above after @. This is because you do not send to a hostmark, but to a nickname on a specific IRC Server. In that case the server which nickserv is conncted to (usually they connect via localhost, but also use a vhost as their host). Some servers like QuakeNet hide the true server which a user is connected to. It that case you either have to guess the server, ask for it in the help chan or just use "the usual way"
.
Why making the trouble of using it? You never know who might lead your bot with spoofed dns lookups to somewhere else and with a bit luck they only log nickserv and not the whole server traffic
