They are still using self signed certs (making the whole ssl client thing
rather pointless, if an attacker can sniff your connection he can certainly
use dsniff to mangle it, or poison your dns cache and use dsniff). I wish
they would at some point either build a proper cert hiearchy (so you can
install a root cert and be done with it).

CN = localhost
CN = irc.obey.org
OU = suidnet
O = suidnet
L = Los Angeles
S = California
C = US

hint: not many people connect from localhost, you might want to put
"losangeles.ca.us.suidnet.org" in there.

And yes, I mentioend this to them ages and ages ago. If you're going to
force people to use ssl the least you can do is  at least get it right on
your end :P
