This patch fixes the following lintian(1) warning: "Manual page seems
to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended. '-' chars are
interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus signs (U+002D).
Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this means for
example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut&paste options, nor search
for them easily. '-' must be escaped ('\-') to be interpreted as minus."
- Fix formatting of some log messages, mostly punctuation.
- cb_Connect_to_Server(): don't use string concatenation, because it
is not supported by pre-ANSI C compilers ...
This patch fixes the following warning of GCC (version 4.3.2) in
function pem_passwd_cb() when compiling with OpenSSL support and
without debug code:
conn-ssl.c: In function 'pem_passwd_cb':
conn-ssl.c:122: warning: unused parameter 'rwflag'
The new configuration option "NoIdent" in ngircd.conf can be used to
disable IDENT lookups even when the ngIRCd daemon is compiled with IDENT
lookups enabled.
The IRC command "SERVLIST" lists all the registered services, see RFC 2811, section 3.5.1.
The syntax is "SERVLIST [<mask> [<type>]]". The parameter <type> is not used by ngIRCd at
the moment, all registered services are of type 0 (which is the default when omitted).
ngIRCd now creates a server-local channel &SERVER with channel modes
+mnPt (moderated, no messages from outside the channel, persistent and
with the topic locked) and logs all the messages to it that a user with
mode +s ("server messages") receives.
If an IRC operator withdraws the +P ("persistent") mode and the &SERVER
channel is freed because of no members, nothing special happens. The
channel can be recerated any time later and ngIRCd would begin logging
to it again.

I changed the test suite to start two test servers (on port 6789 and 6790),
so server-server links can be tested as well for which I included the new
test script "server-link-test.e".
In addition the documentation of the test suite (src/testsuite/README) has
been updated and is more complete now.
This patch lets ngIRCd count outgoing connections as well as incoming
connections (up to now only outgoing connections have been counted). This
change is required because the Conn_Close() function doesn't know whether
it closes an outgoing connection or not and therefore would decrement the
counter below zero when an outgoing connection existed -- which would
trigger an assert() call ...
Please note that this patch changes the (so far undocumented but now fixed)
behaviour of the "MaxConnections" configuration option to account the sum
of the in- and outbound connections!
Some servers send the numeric 020 ("please wait while we process your
connection") when a client connects. This is no useful information for
this server, so we simply ignore it :-)
This patch enables ngIRCd to use GNUTLS in really old versions, tested
with version 1.0.16, that don't define the "new" data types ending in
xxx_t. LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR isn't defined there as well, so we use
it to test if we must define the new types on our own.
Alexander Barton reported a compiler warning on 64-bit platforms:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
conn-ssl.c: In function 'ConnSSL_Init_SSL':
conn-ssl.c:403: error: cast to pointer from integer of
different size
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a real solution; the GNUTLS
API expects 'gnutls_transport_ptr_t' (which is void*),
but the default push/pull functions (send/recv) expect an int.
The only alternative solution is to pass in an address to the
file descriptor, then add send/recv wrappers that expect a pointer.
What a mess[tm].

This patch fixes the following warning of GCC (version 4.3.2) in
function ConnSSL_LogCertInfo() when compiling with GNUTLS support:

This patch
- introduces a new server flag "S" to indicate that the server can handle
the SERVICE command (on server links),
- implements the IRC command "SERVICE" for server-server links,
- uses the "SERVICE" command to announce IRC services when a new
server connects to it,
- and fixes the Send_Message() function to let it send messages to
services using a "target mask".
If the remote server doesn't indicate that it can handle the "SERVICE"
command (it has not set the "S" flag), services are announced as regular
users as before.
This patch enables ngIRCd to handle IRC services as real services, and not
as "fake users":
- Set correct client type CLIENT_SERVICE for services,
- Change log messages to include correct client type,
- PRIVMSG: allow users to send messages to services,
- Send services nick names to other servers (as users).
Please note that this patch doesn't announce services as services in the
network, but as regular users (as before). Only the local server knows
of services as services (see LUSERS command, for example). It is up to
one of the next patches to fix this and to introduce the SERVICE command
in server to server communication.
The propagation of services as regular users between servers doesn't limit
the functionality of the IRC services and will be the fallback for servers
that don't support "real" services propagation in the future.
Client_TypeText() is used to get correct naming ("Client", "Service", ...)
for log messages, and Destroy_UserOrService() is used to correctly destroy
user and services clients.
Introduce a new configuration variable "ServiceMask" in SERVER blocks to
define a mask matching nick names that should be treated as services.
Regular servers don't need this parameter (leave it empty, the default),
but you should set it to "*Serv" when connection ircservices, for example.
This patch allows ngIRCd to detect services, it doesn't change the
functionality: you only get different log messages ;-)
All the required information is already stored in the CLIENT structure
of new new connection, so pass this to Introduce_Client() and don't
invent an unneeded new structure ...
This patch allows ngIRCd to detect right after receiving the SERVER command
from the peer whether the RFC 1459 compatibility mode must be used or not.
And it fixes the announcement of users during establishing new server links
with such peers.
This patch enables ngIRCd to deal with NICK and USER commands following
RFC 1459 to register new clients, and to send these commands instead of one
full NICK command as specified in RFC 2813 on connections that are in RFC
1459 compatibility mode.
Can be useful for e. g. IRC services that simulate a RFC 1459 server.
