[IRCServices] Root User and Channels Access lists

&quot &quot
Thu Sep 14 21:04:01 PDT 2000


 
Actually, from what I've seen getpass is not the only way.... services admins can use ChanServ's set command to change the channel founder, make modifications, then change the founder back. 
  
What I do find surprising is that Services Admins can change founders but not access lists.

>From what I recall, no-one except Channel Founders or people with access to modify the access-list can change anything on a channel access list.

The only way for a SA (Services Admin) to do it would be to use GETPASS, however you can modify Services to allow you to modify the access lists directly w/o GETPASS.

But the question arises, why do you want to modify access lists w/o using GETPASS anyhow?
