The new configuration variable "Network" is used to set the (completely
optional) "network name", to which this instance of the daemon belongs.
When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which is sent to
all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
Closes bug #165.
This patch introduces the possibility to arbitrarily select ciphers which
should be promoted resp. declined when establishing a SSL connection
with a client by implementing the new configuration option "CipherList".
By default, OpenSSL would accept low and medium strength and RC-4 ciphers,
which nowadays are known to be broken.
This patch only implements the feature for OpenSSL. A GnuTLS counterpart
has to be implemented in another patch ...
Original patch by Bastian <bastian-ngircd@t6l.de>.
Closes bug #162.
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.
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.
The option "IncludeDir" in the [Options] section can be used
to specify a directory which can contain further configuration
files and configuration file snippets matching the pattern
"*.conf" that should be read in after the main configuration
file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been parsed.
Closes bug #157.
* systemd:
ngircd.sock: explicitely bind to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Show address and port of sockets passed-in by systemd(8)
Check type of sockets passed-in by systemd(8)
Adjust severity levels of some log messages
New configuration option "IdleTimeout": exit daemon when idle
Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation"
contrib/README: add more files
This patch implements a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the
[Limits] section of the configuration file which can be used to set a
timeout (in seconds) after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no
more connections are left active after handling at least one client.
The default is 0, "never".
This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
activation" with systemd(8), for example.
This document can be used as "help text", too, see configuration option
"HelpFile" in ngircd.conf(5).
Please note that this file in its current state is far from complete, only
a few commands are documented, but you should get an idea how it works.
So please send in patches adding the remaining parts! :-)
Now the Makefiles support spaces in "$sysconfdir", which isn't uncommon
for Cygwin for example, when $HOME contains whitespaces ("/home/User Name")
and ngIRCd is installed into the user home ("./configure --prefix=$HOME").
Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the "real" hostname
and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. And both fields can be set
independently using the "METADATA host" and "METADATA cloakhost" commands.
This allows "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and
cloaked hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself
issues additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
This flag indicates, that the server supports the enhanced "xop channel
user modes", like channel owner, admin, and halfop. This information is
used to make sure that no unsupported CHANINFO commands are sent to
servers not supporting such mode prefixes, for example.
Starting with Anope 1.9.8, the ngIRCd protocol module is rewritten from
scratch by "DukePyrolator" and included in the Anope distribution. So no
patching is required any more, yeah!
Drawback: Anope 1.9.8 is in development and not yet released ...
When a user has set mode "b", all private messages and notices to this
user are blocked if they don't originate from a registered user, an IRC Op,
server or service. The originator gets an error numeric sent back in this
case, ERR_CANNOTSENDTONICK_MSG(976), which is/was(?) used by KineIRCd, too.
This closes bug #144.
If the new channel mode "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid
and all clients get the new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG(518) reply.
Unreal and InspIRCd uses this mode, too.
This closes bug #143.
This closes bug #109.
* bug109-CHARCONV:
Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building
Debian ngircd-full[-dbg]: enable CHARCONV
Add "CHARCONV" to "feature string" when enabled
Implement new IRC+ "CHARCONV" command
Added new configure option "--with-iconv"
Conflicts:
src/ngircd/messages.h
Both modes protect users from channel kicks: only IRC operators and
servers can kick users having mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q".
Original patch by DNS777 <dns@rbose.org>, thanks!
This closes bug #141.
If disabled, IRC operators don't become channel operators in persistent
channels when joining. Enabled by default, which has been the behavior
of ngIRCd up to this patch.
Closes bug #135.

This patch series allows ngIRCd to support the user mode "B" ("Bot flasg"):
it is settable and unsettable by every (non-restricted) client.
According to DNS777, this is how Unreal and InspIRCd do behave, so do we :-)
By Alexander Barton (1) and DNS777 (1)
* umode-B:
Add new user mode "B" to doc/Modes.txt
Implement an Unreal-like user mode "B" ("Bot mode")
The "ServiceMask" variable in "Server" blocks now can handle more than
one mask using the new MatchCaseInsensitiveList() function.
This makes marking "service clients" much more specific, which is a
good thing per se, but which is the prerequisite for reasonably
blocking these nick names, too (see commit a6dd2e3 for details).
Now "make uninstall" removes the installed "ngircd.conf" file, if it
is still equal to our "sample-ngircd.conf" file and therefore hasn't
been modified by the user. If it has been modified, it isn't removed
and a notice is displayed to the user.
In addition, "make install" now displays a message when no ngircd.conf
file exists and the "sample-ngircd.conf" file will be installed as a
starting point.
3 new channel user modes have been added.
Half Op: +h(Prefix: %) can set the channel modes +imntvIbek
and kick all +v and normal users.
Admin: +a(Prefix: &) can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all
+o, +h, +v and normal users.
Owner: +q(Prefix: ~) can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all
+a, +o, +h, +v and normal users
Implemented support for hashed hostnames for CloakHost. The admin can
use '%x' in both the CloakHost and CloakHostModeX setting. The config
option CloakHostModeX was renamed to CloakHostSalt. This salt is used
for both cloaking options.
CloakHostModeX can now contain '%x'. It will be replace by the hash of
the original client hostname. The new config option CloakHostModeXSalt
defines the salt for the hash function. When CloakHostModeXSalt is not
set a random salt will be generated after each server restart.
Spelling fix in defines.h
This patch implements the core functions to support "IRC Capabilities"
and the IRC "CAP" command as used by other servers and specified here:
<http://www.leeh.co.uk/draft-mitchell-irc-capabilities-02.html>.
It enables ngIRCd to support the defined handshake, but it doesn't
implement any capabilities, so "CAP LS" and "CAP LIST" always return
the empty set and "CAP REQ ..." always fails with "CAP NAK".
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.
When "PAMIsOptional" is set, clients not sending a password are still
allowed to connect: they won't become "identified" and keep the "~"
character prepended to their supplied user name.
The default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
Closes#119.
* newconfig:
sample-ngircd.conf: "SyslogFacility" should be commented out
Move SSL-related configuration variables to new [SSL] section
CheckFileReadable(): only check when a filename is given ...
PAM: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored
Really remove [Features] in our manual pages
INSTALL: document changed location of configuration variables
Update sample config file and manual page for new config structure
Testsuite: update configuration files for new config file format
Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest"
conf.c: code cleanup
Check for redability of SSL-related files like for MOTD file
Restructure ngIRCd configuration, introduce [Limits] and [Options]
this patch contains:
* Fix for Conf_CloakUserToNick to make it conceal user details
* Adds MorePrivacy-feature
MorePrivacy censors some user information from being reported by the
server. Signon time and idle time is censored. Part and quit messages
are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped. All
of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
servers from TOR or I2P.
problem is that some clients refuse to connect to severs that only offer
1024. For interoperability it would be best to just use 4096, but that
takes minutes, even on current hardware.
* CloakUserHost:
Add a note not to use a percent sign ("%") in CloakHost variable
Rename ClientHost to CloakHost, and ClientUserNick to CloakUserToNick
Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net"
ngircd.conf.5: document "ClientHost" and "ClientUserNick"
Move "ClientHost" and "ClientUserNick" to end of [Global] section
ClientUserNick setting
ClientHost setting
* QuitOnHTTP:
Only "handle" HTTP commands on unregistered connections
Don't use IRC_QUIT_HTTP() if STRICT_RFC is #define'd
IRC_QUIT_HTTP(): enhance error message
Move IRC_QUIT_HTTP() below IRC_QUIT()
quit on HTTP commands: GET & POST
* bug72-WHOIS-List:
Add "whois-test" to testsuite and distribution archive
Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries.
The percent sign is reserved for future extensions, for example to
expand some variables like %H to a hash value of the real host name ...
