Cloaking has been modulized and a new cloaking system has been introduced. Please take the time to read these notes... - There are 2 cloaking modules: 'cloak' and 'oldcloak'. - You MUST load 1 of them (like: loadmodule "src/modules/cloak.so";). - 'cloak' is the new, RECOMMENDED, and much more secure cloaking algorithm that uses md5 internally and requires 3 keys of 5-100 characters (10-20 is fine) consisting of mixed lowcase (a-z), upcase (A-Z) and digits (0-9). For example: set { cloak-keys { "AHos2HOHS6ds2gsQQHGAkish"; "qF5D3ormaH6mnEvbaH226lfEhjf"; "hfA6HwFh53HedOwQg9Ufs"; }; }; - 'oldcloak' is just the <=3.2 cloaking algorithm, BUT.. - 'oldcloak' is ONLY ment for use during the upgrade process (it will give a warning if you use it), you should switch to the much more secure 'cloak' module as soon as all your servers are upgraded. - Another advantage of cloaking being modulized is that 3rd party cloak modules are now possible that use other algorithms or cloak in a different way. To summarize: = for *NIX users = loadmodule "src/modules/cloak.so"; /* change path if needed */ and change your set::cloak-keys to mixed lowcase/upcase/digits (as mentioned earlier). = for Windows users = loadmodule "modules/cloak.dll"; and change your set::cloak-keys to mixed lowcase/upcase/digits (as mentioned earlier).
