- uuhhm, the issue is that you are proposing to let an account only
- have 1 irc-connection right? Then Trillian starts to say that people
- will then use fake user@host by telnetting to the server directly.
- But..everyone with even a VERY faint knowledge of C, can change the client
- so it will show a fake username. (Hey, they even tell you in the source
- where you have to be) I dont know exactly know how many sites have identd
- running but my guess is, not close to enough. So, I dont see this
- idea working in the next, umm..say 4 major irc-releases that work. :)
