Uhh.. what do you think the client DOES send to the server when signing on? nickname, username, hostname, servername (of the server they connect to) and their so called Realname, which is a text they can pick on their own. So I don't see why you need to change a protocol already providing all the mentioned information. Ever tried "/whois nick" ? /Stefan -- ,-------------------------------------------------------. | Stefan Berndtsson | Stefan on IRC, hades.valhall.net | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | *** VNC Forever *** | |-------------------------------------------------------| | God is not almighty, God is an attitude, worship me.. | `-------------------------------------------------------' -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
