This patch updates the limits for handling commands from a remote server:
- "<user count> / 5 + <min>" using "<min>=10" during normal operation,
- the above count multiplied with 5 while servers are syncing.
The intention is to a) make the limit dependent of the number of users
in the network (the more users, the more commands required to sync) and
b) to significantly rise this limit while servers are joining the network
to make the login and synchronization faster.
At the end of sending all "state" to the remote server, a PING command
is sent to request a PONG reply. Until then, no "regual" PING was sent,
so Conn_LastPing(<connection>) is null and now becomes non-null in the
PONG command handler.
So the servers are still synchronizing when Conn_LastPing(<connection>)
is 0, which could easily be tested.
The numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378) returns the DNS hostname (if
available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
This allows to use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks to reject
clients even before receiving PASS, NICK and USER commands and before
forking authentication child processes which reduces resource usage.
This allows a channel operator to define exception masks that allow users
to join the channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from
joining: the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE command has the user mode 'C'
set, it is required that both sender and receiver are on the same channel.
This prevents private flooding by completely unknown clients.
- Check correct list for duplicates when adding items.
- Don't generate any messages when adding duplicates or removing
non-existing items (this is how ircd-seven and ircu behave).
- Code cleanup: Add_Ban_Invite(), Del_Ban_Invite().
Commit 565523cb allowed processing of further channel names given to the
JOIN command when a single name was invalid.
After this patch, the JOIN command handler continues to process channel
name lists even after errors like "channel is full", "too many channels",
and the like and generates appropriate error messages for all the
channels given by the client.
Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum of MAX_CMODES_ARG (5) channel
modes that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call.
Please note: Further modes that require arguments are silently ignored
and end the handling of any further modes.
This is similar to the behavior of ircd2.11 (silently ignores but seems
to handle other modes) as well as ircd-seven (silently ignores but handles
some(!) other modes) ...
