so i gave a user a global +o flag
.chattr nick +o #channel

and it recorded the host

<big_bopper> HOSTS: *!AZ@*.shawcable.net

so what if another user has the same @*.shawcable.net handle but changes his host name to AZ will he be op'ed when he enters the channel? i'm really unsure of this

Yes that means anyone on the
.shawcable.net
network can change their indentd to AZ and the bot will op that, with the mask set the way you have it,
*!AZ@*.shawcable.net
it will not look at the nick, rather his identd and hostname. Make sure you set the bot up to accept a password from the user AZ prior to giving him OPs, dont just give ops to anyone that matches that host mask.

As long as you do not set +a flag against the user, and have them set a password, you should be OK.

The +o flag does not OP people, unless they request it. If they do, they are required to send there password, so that the bot authorises them (type "/msg <botname> help op" on irc for the usage).

Give them your password, are you joking?

No, tell them to message the bot in the following format.

/msg <bot> pass <password>

Changing <bot> and <password> accordingly.
