  34 <PRE>Well, except on nicks you have the option, on the channel founder you do
  35 not, is that not the whole point trying to be made here?  In this day and
  36 age, it is getting to the point where you can barely go to the bathroom
  37 without being &quot;watched&quot; in some manner.   The real answer would be to crypt
  38 the passwords (so they can't be snooped/sniffed) and to not allow them to be
  39 seen on the screen.  Knowing that is not going to happen, the current
  40 suggestion would be a good solution.

  51 &gt;<i> &gt;Also, it would prevent an &quot;over the shoulder&quot; viewer of the password the
  52 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;ability to use it.  I keep an access mask on my nick ident for this very
  53 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;reason.  I think it makes some sense to have this on the channel founder
  54 </I>as
  55 &gt;<i> &gt;well (as an option).  Of course, if for some reason you are the founder
  56 </I>and
  57 &gt;<i> &gt;no longer have access to the mask you set for yourself, you could be sol
  58 </I>&gt;<i> &gt;also :P
  59 </I>&gt;<i>
  60 </I>&gt;<i>      The same issue applies for nicks, since you can identify regardless
  61 </I>of
  62 &gt;<i> whether you match an access mask or not--unless you set KILL IMMED on your
  63 </I>&gt;<i> nick, in which case, as you say, you're SOL.  The solution is to not let
  64 </I>&gt;<i> people watch you type your password.
