If two servers try to link each other, there was a time frame that
could result in one connection overwriting the other, e. g. the incoming
connection overwriting the status of the outgoing one. And this could
lead to all kind of weirdness (even crashes!) later on.
So now such incoming connections are dropped. But this most probably
prevents the two servers from linking until timing changes somehow
(network latency?) because each server drops the incoming connection of
the other one, so no connection survives in the end.
But this has to be addressed by an other patch ...
This is how ngIRCd up to release 19.2 behaved; "bug" introduced by commit
67e882, "configure.in: require autoconf 2.67 and automake 1.11", which
changed the "PACKAGE_NAME" to "ngIRCd"; so use "PACKAGE" which still is
the lowercase version for initializing syslog logging.
Remote servers are always allowed to change all channel topics,
and IRC Operators are allowed to change all channel topics if the
configuration option "OperCanUseMode" is enabled.
Bug introduced by commit 7b01bb8 and reported by DNS777.
Currntly ngIRCd supports 13 user and 15 channel modes, because there
have been quite a few additions since our last release. But our data
structures can only hold 15 user and -- even worse! -- only 9 channel
modes! So enlarge the buffers to 20 bytes (actually 21 including NULL)
to allow storing of all mode characters and to have some space left
for more modes to come ...
(cherry picked from commit 8996d777621d88d4bcc439ab4792b2814920687f)
Replaced error message for channel mode +M with ERR_NEEDREGGEDNICK_MSG
(used by Bahamut, inspircd, ircu & Unreal too) and using numeric 477
and the msg simliar like inspircd.
Replaced the error message ERR_CANNOTSENDTONICK_MSG for user mode +b
with ERR_NONONREG_MSG and using numeric 486, similar like unrealircd.
(cherry picked from commit 55a61ab17f63a9e757b7c7598c31b98ce5a132e8
and commit 3737d9ab7da1ea0485cefc07c65dc5308bf0db02)
Don't abort on "single user operating systems" that don't know more than
one user account and therefore can't change user and group IDs.
Currently, the only such system supported by ngIRCd is Haiku, a BeOS
clone.
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.
This error message is not only used if one can not send to a channel
because it is moderated, but for _all_ reasons when a message can not
be delivered (moderated, banned, no external messages, ...), so strip
the "(+m) -- Moderated" part of the error message again.
Bug introduced by commit 9a82304a.
Not only show RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG to local IRC opreators, but show
it to all IRC operators in the network. And don't show it to anybody
if the "more privacy" configuration option is enabled.
This closes bug #134.
Implement numeric RPL_WHOISMODES_MSG(379) and show user modes in the
reply of the WHOIS command for the user himself or, if MorePrivacy
isn't set, for request initiated by an IRC operator.
Numeric 379 is used by Unreal and InspIRCd for this purpose, too.
Closes bug #129.
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 patch fixes unsetting of channel user mode "+a" (channel admin)
and adds a better error message: without this patch, a channel admin is
unable to unset this mode.
This closes bug #142.
This closes bug #109.

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"

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.
Patches from Federico G. Schwindt, thanks!
(cherry picked from commit a44b7126227ba1118ec02b399e31b08102af5e8c
and 6fbe9583753b2620da275676cde46a89cb4d06c2)
Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
IRC opertators, other servers, and services are allowed to set mode +x.
This prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to the name
of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
This fixes bug #133.
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.
(Cosmetic fixes by Alex.)
As long as 'MorePrivacy' isn't enabled in the configuration file, local
IRC operators can see secret (+s) channels when using the LIST command.
Closes bug #136.
