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.
This generic function tests if a client is allowed to do administrative
tasks to a specific channel:
- servers and services are always truested ("allowed everything"),
- channel operators are allowed,
- IRC operarors are allowed if OperCanUseMode is set in the config.
libc should know better than us.
Also, this helps debugging with tools like valgrind:
When you allocate an array of size x, and then erronoulsy
use x+1 valgrind cannot detect the bug because due to ALIGN_()
made by array.c we might have allocated more than size x...
ngircd unfortunately uses several options using double-negation, e.g.
NoIdent = No, NoPam = No, etc.
This renames all options by dropping the "No" prefix, e.g.
"NoIdent = no" becomes "Ident = yes".
The old options will continue to work, but will cause a warning
message.
Also update man pages and default config.
To prevent silly
'Ident = yes' from appearing in --configtest output in the
'ident support not compiled in and Ident Option not used' case,
make default value depend on feature availability.
If feature is available, enable by default, otherwise disable.
We might consider moving these options to a new
[Feature]
section, or something like that, because none of these options are
essential.
Another possible improvement:
'Ident = yes' option in ngircd.conf causes a warning if ngircd was
built without ident support.
This does not happen with e.g. zeroconf....
Configuration variables "MotdFile" and "MotdPhrase" are mutually
exclusive; so don't display content in both of them when running
"ngircd --configtest": instead remember which one is beeing used.
The information written to the "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err) when
ngIRCd is compiled with debug code enabled isn't that usefule, so don't
create this file at all.
If a hostname resolves to more than one IP address (round-robin DNS,
IPv4 and IPv6) and an attempt to connect to the first address fails,
ngIRCd should try to connect to the 2nd address, 3rd address etc.
But because of a wrong variable used in the call to New_Server(),
the wrong server structure has been used in further connection attemps
which possibly lead to connection attempts to already connected servers.
