When initially loading the Nickserv-module without supplying the nick-password in the web console, authentication will always fail (on EuIRC at least), even after using the "Set password" command. Supplying the password inside the module arguments works.
I'm running ZNC 1.7.0, but there don't seem to be any changes to this module since.
