This enables other servers, services and IRC operators to change
channel topics, even when the client is not joined to this channel.
Now the handler for TOPIC behaves like the one for MODE.
This generic function tests if a client is allowed to do administrative
tasks to a specific channel:
- servers and services are always truested ("allowed everything"),
- channel operators are allowed,
- IRC operarors are allowed if OperCanUseMode is set in the config.
libc should know better than us.
Also, this helps debugging with tools like valgrind:
When you allocate an array of size x, and then erronoulsy
use x+1 valgrind cannot detect the bug because due to ALIGN_()
made by array.c we might have allocated more than size x...
ngircd unfortunately uses several options using double-negation, e.g.
NoIdent = No, NoPam = No, etc.
This renames all options by dropping the "No" prefix, e.g.
"NoIdent = no" becomes "Ident = yes".
The old options will continue to work, but will cause a warning
message.
Also update man pages and default config.
To prevent silly
'Ident = yes' from appearing in --configtest output in the
'ident support not compiled in and Ident Option not used' case,
make default value depend on feature availability.
If feature is available, enable by default, otherwise disable.
We might consider moving these options to a new
[Feature]
section, or something like that, because none of these options are
essential.
Another possible improvement:
'Ident = yes' option in ngircd.conf causes a warning if ngircd was
built without ident support.
This does not happen with e.g. zeroconf....
Configuration variables "MotdFile" and "MotdPhrase" are mutually
exclusive; so don't display content in both of them when running
"ngircd --configtest": instead remember which one is beeing used.
The information written to the "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err) when
ngIRCd is compiled with debug code enabled isn't that usefule, so don't
create this file at all.
- Add generated sample-ngircd.conf to new .gitignore file,
- refactor Makefile.am to generate sample-ngircd.conf on "make all",
to clean it up on "make clean", and to install it to the correct place.
- Make sure path names in sample-ngircd.conf are separated by "/".
If a hostname resolves to more than one IP address (round-robin DNS,
IPv4 and IPv6) and an attempt to connect to the first address fails,
ngIRCd should try to connect to the 2nd address, 3rd address etc.
But because of a wrong variable used in the call to New_Server(),
the wrong server structure has been used in further connection attemps
which possibly lead to connection attempts to already connected servers.
This is required for backwards compatibility when installing the -full
or -full-dbg package variant: PAM is enabled now but no configuration
present, so all login attempts would be denied ...
Creating /etc/pam.d/ngircd including "auth required pam_permit.so"
restores the old behaviour of allowing all connections.
disable pam_fail_delay() only is available starting with Mac
OS X 10.6; but we use the 10.5 SDK for campatibility, so don't use
this function at all when building using Xcode.
