hi there, I have observed that when you join a channel that is +k, the key will not be showed until you get ops.
if I type /mode #chan to see it's current modes and I'm not opped, it will return: #chan +stnk * #chan created on Fri Jul 25 13:37:48 1997 When I get ops and type the same commad, I can see the key: #chan +stnk key #chan created on Fri Jul 25 13:37:48 1997 So I told myself: It was coded this way so only ops can know what the key is, and thats a good thing in my opinion. Though, when I use 2 different clients, one opped and one not opped, and I type /mode #chan -k key on the channel, it's not only the ops of the channel that sees the channel key but also the non-ops. Here's what I see from the non-opped client: [12:54] * Hidden sets mode: -k key [12:54] * USP sets mode: +k key That's exactly what I see from the opped client: it shows the key to everyone, even non-ops. Should the server hide the chan key to the eyes of the non-ops by replacing key with * ? By the logic of hiding the key to the non-ops on /mode, I would say yes. What are your thoughts on the subject ? peace Hidden
