ADDMASK

ADDMASK: (/msg) K9 addmask (#channelname) <USERID#> <nick>

Wherein: the USERID# is the first entry of a person's K9 access information. To find this information,

type K9 access in the channel and find that person on the K9 channel list. The nick is the nick that person

is using in the channel at that time, regardless of what nick is on the K9 access information.

NOTE: The person to be addmask'd must be in the channel in order to addmask him or her. This is necessary for K9 to "read" that person's new mask and add it to his database. There is no way to "manually" addmask a person.

Examples: /msg K9 addmask #nuthouse 4 [NT]

K9 addmask 3342 Mongoose

NOTE: An addmask is necessary ONLY if the entire mask has changed (new provider) or any part of the

HOST portion of the USER@HOST mask is sufficiently different that K9 no longer recognizes an

individual's access. Changes to the USER@ part of a mask DO NOT CONSTITUTE A NEED FOR AN

ADDMASK! This information may be changed back easily by the person thru their IRC client (program).

Please see the help files for your IRC client for information on how to do so. Remember, the more masks

K9 has for that channel, the less secure the channel becomes!

Purpose: To add a new mask to K9's database when the entire mask, or any part of the HOST portion of

the USER@HOST mask has changed such that K9 will no longer acknowledge that person's access.
