restricting access to certain DCC commands

2003-07-29T08:45:20-04:00

anyone got any tips on keying channels?

You'd have to rewrite the .chat command to require a password and use a 'chon' bind to catch newcomers. Possibly prompting them (using 'control') for a password if [getchan their_idx] is a password protected chan. (if they fail you could dump them back to some default unprotected chan (using 'setchan') or 'boot' them.)

Keep the channels/passwords in an array (element names being the channel number and the value an encrypted version of the password ('encpass')) and use 'info exists that_array(channel)' to determine if a channel is protected by a password.

Or you could forget all that and use a 'chjn' bind to prompt for passwords on join.

hmmm... that worked

when i tried .binds dcc *who*, and other variants on that, it wouldn't show them.

thanks

now that i've got those commands restricted, anyone got any tips on keying channels?

hello... i can't figure out what the binds are for the .whom, .who, and .whois.

what i'm trying to do is either
a) restrict access to these commands, so only global masters/owners can use them, or
b) rewrite them so they do not show what console channel a user is on

what would be best, actually, is if i could rebind .chat so you have to use a key to enter certain channels (i wouldn't mind if the keys were hard-coded), i.e. you'd need to type .chat 200 blah to join channel 200 if the key for that channel was "blah", and if you entered an incorrect (or no key) it would tell the user "sorry, you did not enter the correct key for this channel" or something to that effect.

any thoughts/ideas/etc?

i'd rather not recompile my bot, but if that's what it takes... *shrug*

if i do need to change something in source and recompile, just tell me exactly what needs changing where, so i don't FUBAR something and get stuck with no bot
