Try it.  <grin>

As far as I know, the only way for a non-wiz to change his or her name is
through @rename...

but if you want to keep players from using rename on themselves, well,
stick this at the beginning of $player:@rename...

if (dobj == player)
  return player:notify("Sorry, you can't rename yourself...");
endif

>The same problem appears with this verb, again set_task_perm???

yduJ is right, that's a bug in LambdaCORE.  Fix it by sticking this at the
beginning of $builder:@chparent..

if (player != this)
  return player:notify("Sorry...");
endif

$server_options isn't what you want, and niether is changing player
ownership.  It'll just take some coding.  I think that the two fixes I said
above will be enough...

Okay...  hmm... well... what about programmers?  If you want programmers to
be able to build descendants of #1, then all you have to do is make a verb,
say, #1:is_generic, and have it return 1 if that object is a generic, and 0
if not.  Then, the builder @create and @chparent will first check if that
object's fertile, and then call that object's is_generic() verb to make
sure that it's a generic object.  Making #1 unfertile will also stop
programmers, which may not be what you want.  (If that is what you want,
then go for it)
