    To whom it concerns,

Regarding the vulnerability in the advisory for IRCXpro 1.0

They are of minuscule threat and not worth the attention.

Vulnerability(s):
1. Local clear passwords

Our Reply: It is common place for all IRC Server applications to store clear
passwords in the IRCD.config files.  The nature of the program is for it to
be used by Remote Users, NOT local ones.

2. Remote default admin enabled
Our Reply: The user is prompted before the server starts for the first time
to set their own Operator Name and Password during the Initial Wizard for
their administrator account.  (See initial.gif file attachment)

The fragment >> Serv.LogonSettings "LocalHost", 7100, "admin", "password" <<
is from a sample .ASP page found in the IRCXpro SDK (Software Development
Kit).  In order for this sample to work, the real operator name and password
needs to be inserted before being placed on IIS (Internet Information
Services).
