[IRCServices Coding] Services 5.0a21 Slipping through the AUTH net...

[Mark Hetherington]

On Feb 15th 2044 GMT, a nickname was registered on Services 5.0.a20. About 
an hour later, services was upgraded to 5.0.a21. From log information, this 
nickname has never used the AUTH command but is now being successfully 
identified for. I will be performing continous tests to see if restarting 
services/segfaults have any bearing on this, but tests so far have been 
unable to reproduce the problem. 

A few suggestions that would help tracking this problem and to enhance the 
available listing features:

1) Provide the AUTH status field for nicknames in the httpd module. 
2) In a full list of nicknames (both within IRC and in http) add an 
indicator of non-AUTH status similar to that of SUSPENDED/FORBIDDEN. 
3) Add a view option to /ns list to view nicknames that are in the awaiting 
AUTH status.
