Hi all
May I make a small suggestion .. it may have
been already but here goes..
TS seems to be implemented in EFnet, but not
IRCnet, i would assume that it could require a great deal of server resources
for the TS on nick, also it would not be fool proof against attack.
My Suggestion:
Rather than TS on nicks, have a method of
modifying the nicks (forced) to avoid nick collisions. This has been
comented on by others in that the server could have it's own identifyer ad
asingle char to the last char of the nick, either changing the last char or
adding an extra char to it. My first thoughts was to generate 2 random
nicks and force the change, however in the event of mass collisions i would
conceed that this would more than likely create a larger problem of CPU
resources.
Perhaps a simple solution of generating the last
char could be based on current unix-time and quick calc to convert to
char. Would this require overhead? Is there a better
idea?
Yours
