Yeah;)
But as I have still work to and this is only for fun, I thought I could wait 
und do some "real" work. ;)

Sorry my fault, I should have explained it better.
On quakenet (the only net, the bot is for) auth means
---
AUTH
Identifies you as a particular user on the bot.
This will identify you on the bot as until you quit from IRC.

Usage: /MSG Q at CServe.quakenet.org AUTH <username> <password>
eg. /MSG Q at CServe.quakenet.org AUTH John 4321Jo
---
So, if someone does a /whois <username> he should get something like:
---
* [chemosh] (~chemosh at desci.users.quakenet.org): Kai
* [chemosh] @#chemtest @#tc_rul0rn_mit_pudi_und_miko @#real1ife 
+#oneofall-intern +#oneofall +#milchies #row.de @#r1.gn 
* [chemosh] sw2.de.quakenet.org :SplatterWorld QuakeNet server
* [chemosh] is authed as desci
* [chemosh] ~chemosh at p54819A4E.dip0.t-ipconnect.de 84.129.154.78 :Actual 
user at host, Actual IP
* [chemosh] untätig 01:26:53, Online seit: Fri Nov  4 08:51:00
* [chemosh] Ende der WHOIS-Liste.
---
where this: "* [chemosh] is authed as desci" is the important part.
For the bot It would mean the auth is desci, and desci is the string I would 
like to get. 

I hope that explains it a little bit better
