[IRCServices] BUG: Linking Services Nicknames..

[Craig Edwards]

nickserv only checks the value of s_NickServ when you attempt to link a nick. therefore it only forbids its own nickname being linked. As far as services is concerned its own set of nicks 'dont exist' in the user structs. This means that you could link ChanServs nick, if it isnt sqlined right?

>>It appears that you can /ns link nicknames which are not sqlined, conciquently, if you dont use the standard *Serv format, its easy to link nicknames like ChanProtect, or NetStats, where they are chanserv and statserv respectivly..

>not any predefined patterns like *Serv.  (This does mean that if you change
>the nickname you need to check ahead of time whether it's in use or not,
>but that ought to be obvious.)
