+- Starting with ngIRCd 20, users can "cloak" their hostname only when the
+  configuration variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set.
+  Otherwise, only IRC opertators, other servers, and services are allowed to
+  set mode +x. This prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
