Re: 2 Questions for the server guru's <G>

Hiya

Thanx this is exactly the info I needed, though it prompts another question:

However the deturmining of the token is what I need to do, if you hadn't
guessed (and i didn't say) I am rewriting Services 3.1.2 to work with IRCd
2.9+ so far everything is working well, and nearly all of it works without
error.  However how do I deturmine the server token, as the services are a
'virtual server' and just create users/service names (same as DALnet
services), the services 'virtual server' joins, do I (as the services) force
a server token or does the server I am linking to create the token for me?

Yes, now I know the _proper_ syntax, I will research this myself, but I want
to make sure that the answer i find is correct, not just a kludge.

Thanx for the help

Mickey

PS I thought I got the syntax right, but it's the token I obviously am not
getting right, hence the errors on the uplink. 8-)
