Describe the possible types of variables in ngircd.conf:
booleans, text strings, integer numbers.
And add type information to each variable description.
previously, any client could join in this configuration:
[Channel]
Name = #test
Modes = tnk
KeyFile = /tmp/foobar
fix this by checking for zero-length key before comparing
key to channel key.
This fixes the followin GCC warning on modern Linux systems as well:
irc-login.c: In function ‘Hello_User’:
irc-login.c:876: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’,
declared with attribute warn_unused_result
This patch
- makes the server write buffer bigger: 64k,
- makes the regular write buffer bigger: 32k,
- tries to flush the write buffer starting at 4K.
Before this patch, a client got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k
failed, now regular clients can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even
if flushing is not possible at the moment (e.g. on slow links).
Don't do a NULL-pointer dereference when a remote server using the
IRC+ protocol sends an invalid PASS command without the required
<serverversion> parameter ...
Port number 0 marks remote servers that try to connect to this
daemon, but where this daemon never tries to establis a connection
on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
Don't use isdigit() function any more, because it only checks the
first character of the variable value and because it doesn't know
about the minus sign which is required e.g. for "Group = -1".
The MOTD file is read in Read_Config(), so don't read it when handling
the "MotdFile" configuration variable. Instead make sure that it is
initialized properly when (re-)reading the configuration.
Fix commit 5a34bb203a:
It is not enough to strip the "No" prefix from "Ident" and "PAM",
but we have to introduce the new [Features] section to fix all
warning messages of ngIRCd.
Variables "Ident" and "PAM" in [Global] are completely wrong :-(
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.
