Ah, so the web chat thing relays everything through the web server then.
That's something I'd been meaning to ask about, and to suggest that the
default host be changed to irc.anthrochat.net if, as I suspected, the
connections were being made from the client's browser rather than via
the web server.  That also explains why lion consistently has a much
higher user count than the rest of the servers, which always seemed
rather strange.

I wasn't aware that the archives of this list were public - I assumed
it was either privately archived or not at all, and that it was not a
problem to discuss stuff here that shouldn't be made public.  I've posted
passwords for such things as accessing the mirror of services logs here,
and possibly the passwords for nagios.  And I just remembered that next
to the services logs there's a spreadsheet (probably hideously out of
date now) with all our contact details in it.  That probably means I'm
breaking the Data Protection Act quite badly, if the logs and the contact
list are public.

I guess I should be searching the archives now for passwords and changing
any that I find.  After that, how should I then get the new passwords
to all the admins, given that I don't know of an up to date list of who
they all are and their email addresses, and I can't rely on all admins
visiting #opers at the same time I'm there?

Personally, I don't like the idea of this list being publicly archived.
I don't like feeling I'm in a goldfish bowl, and that I have to be careful
what I write because it'll be published to the world.  Should we have
both a private and a public admins list, so that we can use admins-private
to sync private info such as passwords with all of us?
