Private vs Secret

I'm trying to remember the differences between these two channel modes. On some servers private channels do show in a list but the topic isnt viewable. This doesnt seem to be the case on Unreal.

I made a quick overview:
Code: Select all
Mode Show in /list Show /names Show /topic Show in /who Show in /whois
+p Yes, as * No Yes No No
+s No No No (ERR_NOTONCHANNEL) No No
(Everything of course only applies if you are not in the same channel...

)
(The * as channelname on mode +p is kinda strange... but the "RFC-way" would be strange too: "Private channels are listed (without their topics) channel "Prv" unless the client generating the query is actually on that channel.")
