AW: [IRCServices] Services Suggestion(s)

Hello;

Please read the TODO file.

> b) a 'operserv level' option in the services.conf for commands

The commands are already level'ed to global operator, services operator,
services admin, services root.
If you want to move a command to somewhere else, open the operserv.c and
change functions like is_services_admin to is_services_oper right in the
command table of operserv.

Additional names will require additional NICKs sent to the network. Otherwise
you cannot make the ircd know that a certain recipient is from services.
And I do not see the need of filling the services server with more nicks.

What is that email field ? Where does a service pseudoclient use an email ?
Where is it being shown ? 
When you give ident, there is no need to re-give it via ident at host anyway.

That will not be done. You may look into services mailing list archive 
and to the README file, why.

> g) a services command to force an alias to join a channel (i know this can

Ought not be done for the same reason.
