As with all forums, one waits. It's called patience.

the problem is that it's actually a login thing presented by a script that allows /msg login user password, it's the ident thing right ? it's like a private message to the bot and megahal picks that up....

heh.. uhm.. presumably the script would need some re-writing to exempt password strings, but I've not seen the script.. Perhaps post it or a url pointing to it so we can look it over.. Assuming the author no longer supports it, of course, cos they should be your first line of contact.

Hi,

I guess it's not so much a safety risk if megahal isn't installed that people can /msg their password, but it's worse if megahal just picks this up and repeats these passwords inside another conversation...

is there some way to stop this behavior ?
