Category: newfeature Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Submitted By: bsd (bsd3) Assigned to: Ethan Blanton (eblanton) Summary: TCL gaim::account password account Initial Comment: Though may not be that big and, or important a thing, but it would useful to make the password for IRC and, or other accounts available to scripts. So that TCL scripts may make use of passwords stored in $HOME/.gaim/accounts.xml and silently send password to NickServ etc. whenever required. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Date: 2005-06-12 13:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=20979 I agree with Ethan. Exposing the password field to TCL scripts seems more likley to do harm than good. Unless you can justify this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ethan Blanton (eblanton) Date: 2005-06-08 23:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=298616 Hmm, I thought I replied to a similar comment once before. The IRC account password, specifically, is completely unrelated to any NickServ password you might have. You should use a different preference for a nickserv password. The IRC account password refers to an optional password for the PASS command, which some servers require. With this in mind, I think exposing account passwords to scripts is not a good idea. You may wish to create your own password preference, using the gaim::prefs command. (I am not closing this patch just yet, this is still open for discussion.)
