prevent nick changes

hi, is it somehow possible to deny nick changing to a particular host? for example nobody from *@somenet.org will be allowed to use /nick

Sure, use the extended bantype ~n.

No, that's not possible. (You could write a module for it, though.)

Anyway, wouldn't that be kinda useless anyway? Why shouldn't the user just reconnect with a different nick?

but then also ~n ban is useless because of /part;/nick;/join procedure isn't it?

anyway, thanks for information, i have started my irc server just 4 days ago and some support from experienced people is always nice

~n helps stopping annoying nick changes, i.e. clients/bouncers/bots/whatever with the owner currently not on IRC but still connected and the nick changing from GuestXYZ to the real nick and back (fight with NickServ)...

You can try to use TEMPSHUN, but this disallows ALL command(except /pong & /admin)...
