 Is there any plans to implement a -x feature, or at least make it an
 *optional* feature?  I've noticed that on some of the servers that +x is
 automatically set, which is quite frustrating.



- -x is racy, and kinda pointless, the servers that set +x automatically
have been fixed.


Plus, CService doesn't want you to be able to -x for the same reason 
there's no deauth command in X.

Indeed it does. In my non IRC work, I am a sysadmin for an electrical 
engineering department at a University, so I've had to play with 
Matlab a LOT.. getting it to recognise those letters is certainly not 
very difficult with some of it's toolboxes.. blur + contrast + 
sharpen + compared against known character shapes.. and hey presto. 
But any input from your PhD friend would certainly be appreciated, 
I'm sure.. maybe something like those colour blind tests ;)

Overall, I think this is a great concept for stopping mass 
registrations, however there is another issue.. as I'm sure some of 
you know, an almost identical process is used by Yahoo! in their user 
account creation form. I've had a look thru the USPTO.gov website, 
and they _don't seem_ to have a patent on it, but it's something to 
keep in mind.

Those are client commands, not server ones.

Whilst in theory the server does keep a track of the people you have 
talked to most recently, what you have requested is not a practical 
or useful addition to the server.

Best to take it up with the author of your client.

Re: [Coder-com] make ircd-ircu listening on localhost 127.0.0.1

Also, won't running ircd behind stunnel mean all the clients have
127.0.0.1 as their client IP? This may not be a problem depending on
how you're going to be using it, but it sounds like something to watch
out for.

If you submit an idea to this list, and it eventually used, you will
get no credit. The only way you will get into our credits, is by
actually writing a patch to do what you want, and even then, only if
it accepted by X's coders. People submit ideas all the time. Also
note, if you're submitting a patch for the express purpose of trying
to get your name in lights.. don't bother.

For a copy of X's source code, have a look at http://gnuworld.sourceforge.net/

Re: [Coder-Com] the infamous net rider

hi.

throughout the years occasionally there is talk of net riding, and the
infamous, super hero sounding, net rider.
this email is simply a request for a bit of background information and/or
history on what exactly net riding is. because i've always been interested but
have never actually known what it is.
i'd also be interested to know how undernet prevent net riding.

thanks.
Heh :)

Net Riding is getting ops in a channel by connecting to a split 
server where no-one is on the channel so the server gives you ops.. 
when the server rejoins, if you keep ops, you are a "net rider"

Undernet prevents this in a number of ways, mainly thru the use of 
channel timestamps. When a channel is created (ie joined when empty), 
it is given a timestamp, when a server rejoins the network, it 
renegotiates with it's new peer the timestamp of each channel.. the 
op list belonging to the instance of the channel with the oldest 
timestamp overrules. Other networks have only recently aadopted 
timestamp techniques, meaning that it used to be necessary to make 
clients de-op other clients receiving ops from servers.

Undernet also hides interserver links including which servers are 
connected, thus preventing people from finding split servers and 
possibily exploiting server bugs and doing something which might 
"hack" the timestamp protocol and keeping ops or otherwise disrupting 
the network when it rejoins, though this is very unlikely given the 
maturity of Undernet's code, with the current codebase started about 
7 years ago.
