Hi all,
I'm currently considering writing a new module that will help admins confirm the identity of users requesting getpass for both NickServ and ChanServ. This module will add a /*Serv set PIN command and will store a single word phrase or number than admins can ask users in order to help positively identify the user before giving/setting a password for a nick or channel. the PIN cannot be used to identify with, just used as a means as a "hey, it's really me".
Both nick and channel PIN usage will be optional to support network policies. Such an example for channels could be PIN's for channels could be used by high level ChanOps and could say "I have permission to identify as founder even though I only have SOP access, but I forgot the password".
Please reply with constructive thoughts.
thanks,
