Let them logon via Javascript webpage over at freenode.net and this will
resolve all security issues that could arise - they may not like the
interface, but you are the admin not them.

Thanks,

Subject: IRC in corporate enviroment

Looking for some pros cons to having IRC connectivity in a corporate
environment. Our R&D guys would like to join some coding channels to get
ideas and help, but we are hesitating to allow them for fear of a
possible hole being opened via an IRC channel and client.

thoughts on pro's or cons?

what is the beat way to implement if it is deemed ok?
