38 This probably stems from old Unix thinking that says
"never give an
39 attacker more information than necessary
"; for example, when you log into a

"password incorrect

42 finding out valid usernames on the system. Whether this is applicable to
43 IRC is a question definitely worth thinking about--server names on the
44 network are usually public knowledge--but that's probably where it came
