    Could we please have a way to mask passwords for QNET Call-outs in the Synchronet Control Panel Events informational log entries?

    Something like:

    4/25 10:35:04a QNET Call-out to: VERT (*qnet-ftp VERT dove.synchro.net ********) returned 0

    Better yet, just eliminate it from the command-line altogether using the 'password' option in the [qnet-ftp] section of your modopts.ini file:

    Very nice - I completely missed this.

    Change made. Thanks!

    well synchronet has become convoluted. there are many .ini files and then you still have scfg. i wish there would be a smaller amount of consolidated configuration files, maybe even a way to intergrate them into scfg.

    with the format i think it's worth looking into to have it organized and accessable in scfg. then it would be all in one place.
