Package: ksirc Version: 4:3.5.5-5 Severity: normal Tags: patch If there is a colon in a server password, ksirc will not parse that correctly and will fail to connect. This is a problem for example when using the "bip" IRC proxy server as that requires passwords in the format <user>:<passwd>:<network>.
The attached fairly trivial patch fixes this. I can see no real reason why colons in passwords should not be allowed. AFAICT, when the connect string is parsed, just interpreting the password as "anything after the second colon" should be OK. I have also filed the bug upstream, but it'd be nice if the patch could already be included in Debian.
