- Actually, the suggestion of modifying the default behaviour of SIGNON
- from its present "put the user on channel 1 if no other channel is
- specified" to what IRC does which is "put the user in a limbo where
- there is no channel affiliation" probably wouldn't require too big
- a modification of the code, though of course Valdis is the one who
- really knows how big a change that would be.
-
- If the code is structured the way I guess, then each user has a
- structure which defines its (his/her) attributes, including current
- channel affiliation. Presumably, then, in the code for handling where
- messages get sent, a check is made of each user's channel affiliation,
- and messages are forwarded to those relays which have users signed on
- to a given channel (or perhaps the user structures are included in a
- list of users on each channel).
- In any case, it seems that if a user has no channel affiliation, then
- messages just won't get passed from channels to the user, but that
- private messages, which bypass channels entirely anyway, would still
- work.
-
- Valdis? Did I get it right?
