Authorization using hosts #40

Closed sigv closed 12 years ago

sigv commented 12 years ago

Currently, you can give specific access to nicks. You should also be able to specify access to specific hosts.

Using hostnames for authorization is much better for security, especially when taking cloaks in mind. The cloak is only assigned to the user when he/she is logged in and it cannot be simply faked. It is also much more secure as the response from the server (for ACC & STATUS) may sometimes be missed for any reason and may cause issues.
