Request: only ircop can msg ulines

Post by pete212 »

Is there a module so only IRCops can msg u:lines so for example only irc operaters can use chanserv nickserv etc.

And if not can someone make it, or help me on makin it?

Your services package should be structured so only ircops and higher can access what is needed by them. The user level commands shouldnt really be restricted . I cant see why you would want to stop a user from for example registering their nickname and so forth . If its to for example stop a user registering a room then ircservices has the ability to restrict it to admins .
Yawn. So there's yet another "if the user clicks the button, they're infected" exploit. Why is this news? We already know users are idiots.

With the proper modes and access levels set then your users cant do a lot with chanserv anyway . Check your chanserv commands help and see how to change access levels .

Is there such a module? Not that I'm aware of. Could it be made? Definitely. However, it's a bit more complex than you might think. Remember, there are several different ways to send a message to services. You can use /msg nickserv, /msg [email protected], /ns, /nickserv, etc. All of these things must properly be taken into account in order to prevent normal users from issuing such commands. So there is quite a bit of work involved with such a module.

Could you make it yourself? I guess that depends on how knowledgable you are with C and of the Unreal source code.

As for having someone else do it for you, this is really a module that would only be useful to you and maybe a handful of other networks. As a result, I doubt you're going to find someone who is willing to take the time to do this at no cost. However, for a reasonable fee, such a module could be made for you and tailored specifically to your network's needs. If you are interested in such an option, send me an email at [email protected] and I'll try to work something out with you.

I might just point out that it probably would have been much more beneficial to switch services packages.

Database conversion utilities exist.
