-- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta5 Release Notes |
| 2 |
+ |
o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect', |
| 3 |
+ |
'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or |
| 4 |
+ |
not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled |
| 5 |
+ |
by appeding the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local |
| 6 |
+ |
clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for |
| 7 |
+ |
remote clients |
