You can specify hostmasks in two other forms depending on the situation,
or rely on network services (ie. NickServ).

Limnoria
--------
Limnoria has two additional methods to identify, GPG and NickAuth, each
provided as a plugin that you need to load (with the ``load`` command).
GPG
^^^
First you must associate your GPG key with your Limnoria account. The gpg
add command takes two arguments, key id and key server.
My key is 0x0C207F07B2F32B67 and it's on keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net
so and now I add it to my bot::
<Mikaela> +gpg add 0x0C207F07B2F32B67 pool.sks-keyservers.net
<Yvzabevn> 1 key imported, 0 unchanged, 0 not imported.
Now I can get token to sign so I can identify::
<Guest45020> +gpg gettoken
<Yvzabevn> Your token is: {03640620-97ea-4fdf-b0c3-ce8fb62f2dc5}. Please sign it with your GPG key, paste it somewhere, and call the 'auth' command with the URL to the (raw) file containing the signature.
Then I follow the instructions and sign my token in terminal::
echo "{03640620-97ea-4fdf-b0c3-ce8fb62f2dc5}"|gpg --clearsign|curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
Note that I sent the output to curl with flags to directly send the
clearsigned content to sprunge.us pastebin. Curl should be installed on
most of distributions and comes with msysgit. If you remove the curl part,
you get the output to terminal and can pastebin it to any pastebin of
your choice. Sprunge.us has only plain text and is easy so I used it in
this example.
And last I give the bot link to the plain text signature::
<Guest45020> +gpg auth http://sprunge.us/DUdd
<Yvzabevn> You are now authenticated as Mikaela.
NickAuth
^^^^^^^^
Using network services
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This requires you to load the NickAuth plugin (see next section of this
page for loading plugins).
