Your sarcasm is misplaced. I suggest you actually attempt what's being
asked before opening your email editor and polluting the collective
knowledge of IRCServices users.

To clarify:

- The superuser on my server is set to 'l8nite'.

- At present I am on my server as 'aspect', which is linked to my
original nickname 'l8nite'.  I am identified, and I am set mode +r.

- I would like to change the user 'Guest5''s nickname to 'Bob', so I
send the command:

PRIVMSG OperServ :RAW SVSNICK Guest5 Bob 1

Which results in a response from OperServ of 'Access denied'

- If I now change my nickname to 'l8nite', and resend the same command:

PRIVMSG OperServ :RAW SVSNICK Guest5 Bob 1

The command is sent and Guest5's nickname is changed.

Notice I did not use the 'su' command here, and I have never used the
'su' command before.


Now that we know the truth behind how this works, we can come full
circle to the original bug...

I should be able to use these commands as any nickname linked to the
superuser nick - because a 'linked' nickname by it's nature inherits all
properties and abilities of the master nickname.
