As per RFC whois should return 431 if no nick is provided. While
here convert upper check to use irc-macros. As a bonus we get to set
the penalty for free.
The configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" must only be enforced for
regular clients and not for remote servers. Channels created by other
servres are always allowed, because they already exist and the daemon
must stay in sync with the network.
Without this patch, ngIRCd logged the "IDENT lookup for connection X:
no result"-message even when IDENT lookups have been disabled using the
"Ident = no" configuration option, which is a little bit misleading.
Reported by "btwe" in #ngircd.
This patch introduces a new field in the CLIENT structure, "ipa_text",
which points to an optional textual representation of the client IP
address (or NULL) which can be used to store the "real" IP address
information of a client using the "WEBIRC" protocol.
Without this patch, ngIRCd ignored the <ip-address> paramater ...
In addition, the functions Client_SetIPAText() and Client_IPAText()
have been introduced to set and get the textual representation of the
client IP address.
Client_IPAText() can be used even when no "IP address text" has been
set before, it then returns the real IP address of the connection.
Closes bug #159.
The new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" lists user modes that
become automatically set on new local clients right after login.
Please note that only modes can be set that the client could set on
itself, you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op), for example! User
modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are "interesting", though.
Default: set no modes (like without this patch).
Closes bug #160.
There have been code paths that ignored the return code of Handle_Write()
when sending "notice auth" messages to new clients connecting to the
server. But because Handle_Write() would have closed the client connection
again if an error occurred, this would have resulted in new errors and
assert()'s later on that could have crashed the server (denial of service).
Only setups having the configuration option "NoticeAuth" enabled are
affected, which is not the default.
CVE-2013-5580.
This allows the system administrator to overwrite the DAEMON variable in
/etc/defaults/<name> and to use this init script even when the default
"/usr/sbin/ngircd" doesn't exist on the system.
Channel_Modes() and Channel_Topic() return static memory that is zeroed at
creation time. Fix checking for empty modes and topic so they're propagated
correctly.
This function is used to send "error messages", including numerics,
back to clients and to automatically enforce a 2 second penalty. With
this patch, all error results enforces a delay for the client.
All callers of IRC_WriteStrClient(ERR_xxx) have been converted.
Please note that this patch prolongs the time "make check" needs
to complete its tests, because of lots of new enforced penalties ...
These functions usually write to more than one target, and therefore
can't return value indicating success or failure in a sane way. And, even
more omportant, these functions should send to as much as possible clients
and not stop at the first client which isn't reachable any more!
The new configuration variable "AllowedChannelTypes" lists all allowed
channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels on the local
server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
This patch deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
still supported and translated to the apropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
setting. When "PredefChannelsOnly" is processed, a warning message is
logged.
Closes bug #152.
