AW: [IRCServices] NickName Registrations..

[Yusuf Iskenderoglu]

Normally,

the irc protocol does not permit nicknames which begin with a
digit. Your server is therefore broken, when people can take
nicknames which begin with a number, and can make them be
registered.

For more information, see :
http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/chapter2.html#c2_3_1

the "NICK" item is defined as

<letter> { <letter> | <number> | <special> }

You ought to ask your ircd coders why they broke RFC1459.

Regards;
yusuf
