Re: [Coder-Com] bug in /list
Agreed. That's exactly what you use it for. As is implies fixing it to work properly though I'd assume :) At 10:08 PM 6/12/2003 -0600, Captain Kirk wrote: I always found +p useful for those who wanted to find the channel, and weren't just people looking to pester someone. +s hides completely, and +p is still accessable for those who know how to "look." IMHO, this a good thing. If people are really looking for your channel then they'll find it. It kinda of puts up that "elite" block in some sense. +s is for the channels that people aren't supposed to know about. There's a big difference between the two. Keep the mode :-) as is.

[Coder-Com] Host encryption.
Hello, For a research project, I am looking for documentation concerning the way host encryption works in IRC and particularly in irc-u. My knowledge in C is quite limited but if anyone could give me a clue about the way it works and point me towards the C files that contains the functions which are used to encrypt hosts, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Re: [Coder-Com] Host encryption.
You must be confusing our ircd with other ircds floating in circulation on the Internet. The Undernet ircd (ircu) does not perform any type of host encryption at any level.

[Coder-Com] Re: Host Encryption
I may have not correctly said what I meant. I was referring to the "hidden host" feature. I vaguely remember reading about it in the changelog of a 1.x version. For instance, if user joe has got the hostname: myhostname.com, it would appear to other users as 22492032.com (random numeric string). It may have been a patched version of ircu or I may be confusing it with another server. If this is the case, sorry for the bother.

If this is the case, sorry for the bother. The only "hidden host" feature in ircu is usermode +x, which constructs a hidden host by concatenating the user's account name with a network-wide fixed suffix; for example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] where my account name is "Entrope" and the network-wide suffix is "users.undernet.org." This was added in ircu2.10.11; to the best of my knowledge, the version 1.x you were thinking of cannot refer to ircu. Entrope
