Summary0001481: /whois error
DescriptionServices Admins (services-admin;) cannot see what channels network service bots are in.

odd i know.

however one of my admins, if he does, lets say, a /whois elite-bot

He will see this:
Elite-Bot is [email protected] * Elite
Elite-Bot using services.multilink User Services
Elite-Bot is a Network Service
elite-bot End of /WHOIS list.


but i will see this:
Elite-Bot is [email protected] * Elite
Elite-Bot on &#mOfO.Demonic.Duelist
Elite-Bot using services.multilink User Services
Elite-Bot is a Network Service
elite-bot End of /WHOIS list.

the whole "blah is on" line is missing.

he is running generic mirc, no addons or scripts of any kind.

our services are anope 1.4.26
3rd party modules

So you're saying admins (+A) can see it, but +a can't?

ok i just went and tested every single oper level, and the only level that can see what channels a services bot is in is netadmin. local ircop, global ircop, server admin, co admin, and services admin cannot see what channels a services bot is in.

that's indeed done on purpose in the source...
[not saying I agree with it since it's a bit weird (at least) a services admin can't see this :p]

Yeah it would seem to me that if you're in charge of services, you should be allowed to see what services are doing...

i think all ircops should be able to see what rooms a services bot is in.

why not?
lol


not like its a big security problem heh

The only problem with allowing to see what channels a service bot is on, is when it comes to networks that make 'ChanServ' join all channels that are registered. on a largish network, this could be for some large reply...

restricting it to service admin or better would be the way..

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure why _anyone_ needs to see this information.

we use it so that we can trim the botserv list from time to time from opers who make a botserv bot, plop it in a channel, then the channel is dropped and the bot sits there idling on the network for weeks on end not even in a channel.

So you mean you look for the bots that are not in any channels? Also, any oper is allowed to create/delete botserv bots? It's not restricted to +a?

-BotServ- The following command is available to Services admins:
-
-BotServ-
-
-BotServ- BOT Maintains network bot list
-

yeah its limited to services admins.

but users will request a bot, we'll make it for them, drop it in their channel, then 2 weeks later they'll drop the chan and the bot will sit on the network idling lol.

itd be helpful it locops and up can see what channels a network service is in.

Fixed in CVS. services admins and netadmins can now view it.
