Florian Westphal 056de78e31 ngircd: change MOTD file handling
previously, the given MotdFile file was read whenever a client
requested it.

Change handling to read the MotdFile contents into memory once
during config file parsing.

Two side effects:
- changes to the MOTD file do not have any effect until ngircds
  configuration is reloaded
- MOTD file does no longer have to reside in the chroot directory
  (the MOTD contents will then not be re-read on reload in that case)

# This is a sample configuration file for the ngIRCd IRC daemon, which must
# be customized to the local preferences and needs.
#
# Comments are started with "#" or ";".
#
# A lot of configuration options in this file start with a ";". You have
# to remove the ";" in front of each variable to actually set a value!
# The disabled variables are shown with example values for completeness only
# and the daemon is using compiled-in default settings.
#
# Use "ngircd --configtest" (see manual page ngircd(8)) to validate that the
# server interprets the configuration file as expected!
#
# Please see ngircd.conf(5) for a complete list of configuration options.
#
[Global]

#
# Server Groups:
# The ngIRCd allows "server groups": You can assign an "ID" to every
# server with which you want this ngIRCd to link. If a server of a
# group won't answer, the ngIRCd tries to connect to the next server
# in the given group. But the ngircd never tries to connect to two
# servers with the same group ID.
# IRC name of the remote server, must match the "Name" variable in
# the [Global] section of the other server (when using ngIRCd).

# Set the "Passive" option to "yes" if you don't want this ngIRCd to

# configure a port an use the IRC command CONNECT more easily to
# manually connect this specific server later.
