identpass and its cross-references

identpass

identpass <username> <password>
 Identifies you to Blight.  To set up your password, or be reminded
 of it, run the shell command `irc-blight-id' on chiark.
 (On ircII on chiark `/blight-id' is easier, see `help blight-id'.)
 See `help identpass-internals' for technical details.

blight-id

/blight-id is a command available in ircII (and possibly other
clients) on chiark.  It sets up a password if you don't already have
one, and then uses it to identify you to Blight.  If you want to
change your password, delete the file ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5.
See `help register' and `help identpass'.

identpass-internals

Identification, for example with /blight-id, is actually done with
`identpass', which feeds the md5sum of the password to `userv
<username> irc-identpass <nick>'.  That must exit 0 if all is well.
By default this checks the md5sum against ~/.userv/irc-pass-md5.
