That's very odd, my conf file seriously does not have that option....I will
continue to look, thanks for your help.

Hello;

You say that you did not find anything to disable this in the conf.
My example.conf interestingly says this:

# BadPassSuspend <count>  [OPTIONAL]
#     Sets the number of bad passwords _for a single nick or channel_
that
#     will be accepted before the nick/channel is automatically
suspended.
#     If not given, nicks and channels will not be automatically
suspended
#     for bad passwords.

BadPassSuspend  10

There is definitely said, that NOT GIVING this option will cause
services to not suspend for bad passwords.

Maybe you should try to read again.

Regards;
yusuf

Betreff: [IRCServices Coding] channel suspensions


When somebody sends an incorrect password to a channel repeatedly,
services will kill them, and if they keep persisting, it suspends the
channel (or nickname).  Some of my more jerkoff users are having some
fun with this, causing our larger channels to become suspended which
ultimately denies use to any of the users.  I'm running version 4.5.43 -
is there any way to disable this or set the number of times you can send
the password before it automatically suspends the channel?  I've looked
all through the conf for an option to define/undefine this, but I have
yet to find one.  If there is no option, could I suggest possibly
implementing a way to turn that on or off and or being able to set the
number of times you can send an incorrect password?  This is causing us
a lot of grief since only a services administrator can unsuspend
channels.  Thanks. :)
