I can see all the dangers of using the os_raw module just from reading the posts in here and other forums regarding it. We had a small IRCD on a home comp which had about 12 users on it and the owner installed the raw module so we did test out RAW commands on it, mostly harmless ones like making services "talk" or "act" etc, but now i'm a services admin on a larger IRCD with over 500 users then we wouldn't sanction loading the raw module at all. Is there , however, a module out there where you could still make the services ( like botserv, chanserv, memoserv etc etc) talk , or act in a channel without them joining that channel etc?
This is purely from an amusement point of view but would be fun to see if anyone has written such a module or if one could be created for it.
