Yes, this seems most sane to me. As others have pointed out you can potentially use NOFITY or similar to get people's real hosts if they have to connect then log in (regardless of what happens with +x). Therefore +x needs to be set automatically if the "auth during registration phase" is to be of any value. Therefore it seems sane that users who want to use +x should use the login-during-registration, and users that don't want +x put the login command after registration like they do at the moment. splidge QuakeNet person
