Authenticate owner through NickServ #7

Open salto-edit opened 9 years ago

salto-edit commented 9 years ago

The whois on a nick says if and using which account that person is authenticated. Using this information we could proper owner authentication in LtData without implementing our own pwdb, passwd and login commands.

Caveat: A running NickServ is not guaranteed by the IRC protocol and the WHOIS reply is not the easiest to parse.

Any takers?

salto-edit commented 9 years ago

Took it. Is there any better candidate than me for LtData in GSoC 2016?

ltworf commented 9 years ago

Nop, you are (so far) the best candidate :-P
