Forced nickchange?

I have searched a little, even among services and modules. Maybe I'm blind and just missing something obvious, but is there a commando with which I can change a user's nick? Such as "/sanick" or something.

That doesn't seem too constructive Stealth...
I belive there may be a module to allow you to do this, have a look at
http://www.angrywolf.org - there may be one there.
or:
if you have services with RAW enabled, do something like:
/msg operserv RAW SVSNICK oldnick newnick
I believe Anope has an operserv SVSNICK command, but I'm unsure.

It does.
Code: Select all
[01:51:02] Private: <OperServ> Syntax: SVSNICK nick newnick
[01:51:02] Private: <OperServ>
[01:51:02] Private: <OperServ> Forcefully changes a user's nickname from nick to newnick.
[01:51:02] Private: <OperServ>
[01:51:02] Private: <OperServ> Limited to Super admins

Codemastr wrote such a module, not AngryWolf:

There's a free module at ircd-mods.com that does the same, but codemastr's is much better.

/msg operserv RAW SVSNICK oldnick newnick 1

To Jason: Yes, that does the nickchange, but sets "last nickchange time" to something invalid (earlier than "connection time"). If you aren't lazy, I would recommend you to use as correct timestamp as possible.

I dont know how to get a correct timestamp. Does mIRC have something for this, and will timezone matter? does TSCTL matter?

Use $ctime, like so: //os raw :OperServ SVSNICK oldnick newnick $ctime
The CTime value is GMT, so timezone wont matter, its the same thing Unreal uses (to my knowledge).

Bah. So I forgot how to send an SVSNICK.

For heavens sake, don't use RAW! OperServ has an SVSNICK command
built in and will ensure you don't cause a nick collision with it, and will take care of the actual format for you
!

1. Note: In Anope, /OS SVSNICK (and /OS UMODES) is turned off by default. You must enable it in config.h (docs/FAQ #32).
2. aquanight (or anyone), can you please tell me a possible situation when using /OS RAW SVSNICK leads to a nick collision? I haven't ever experienced any yet. Of course it's better not to use /OS RAW, especially if you have other, much safer ways to change nicks, but SVSNICK isn't very dangerous, I think. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

It isnt dangerous, at least, not in Unreal. Because, as you have pointed out aquanight, SVSNICK causes an
ldnick NICK newnick to be sent out.
So nyeh. :p

A little quote from the #anope support room regarding the use of RAW:
RAW is a developer tool ONLY. Only a fool would ever have it enabled on a network with real users. RAW has the ability to crash your network, desync your services and comprimise any network security you have. You may be banned for pasting raw strings in this room, and we refuse to support people who have raw enabled.
Thats my 2 cents
