The correct way to handle it would be to have libalias trap the protocol mIRC use to query the IRC server. If anybody know where I could get information on what the protocol does, I can try to see if there is some easy way to put a handler for it into libalias - I suspect it could be slightly problematic, due to needing to track the extra information on a per-stream basis. It would probably be a good addition to the libalias infrastructure, though. Eivind. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
