Module Request: case insensitive /oper usernames
Module Request: case insensitive /oper usernames
I was wondering if anyone could make a module that would make it so oper names aren't case sensitive..like if your oper was "Dante" you could still go /oper dante blah..sorta like Unreal3.1.x.

I am not sure why you would want something like this. It will greatly decrease security.
Here is how:
Using a 10 char logins and passwords of just letters and numbers, currently there are approx 704423425546998100000000000000000000 combinations. Disabling case sensitivity reduces it to approx 13367494538843734000000000000000 combinations. That is approx 704410058052459270000000000000000000 LESS possibilities.

Those figures are for case and non case sensitive usernames and passwords . As stated it will decrease security . The simple answer to this is not have sloppy opers who dont remember what case you set their operblock to . What you are in effect asking for is a module that will make your server less secure .
