disable pam_fail_delay() only is available starting with Mac
OS X 10.6; but we use the 10.5 SDK for campatibility, so don't use
this function at all when building using Xcode.
This allows to compile ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again:
all source files are automatically converted by the included ansi2knr
program (of GNU automake/autoconf) before compiling them with the
K&R C compiler, but a few coding standards must be met.
Tested on Apple A/UX 3.x.
Regression testing on Linux and Mac OS X.
If ngIRCd is compiled to register its services using ZeroConf (e.g. using
Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X) this parameter can be used to disable service
registration at runtime.
This fixes the following gcc compiler warning:
tool.c: In function 'ngt_SyslogFacilityName':
tool.c:195: warning: return discards qualifiers from pointer target type
The new option "SyslogFacility" deines the syslog "facility" to which
ngIRCd should send log messages.
Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
"user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
These both functions translate syslog facility names to ID numbers
and vice versa. On systems that don't define the facilitynames[] array
in syslog.h, we try to build one ourself.
This fixes the following gcc warning, emitted by Xcode:
src/ngircd/sighandlers.c: In function 'Signal_Callback':
src/ngircd/sighandlers.c:239: warning: implicit conversion shortens 64-bit value into a 32-bit value
Signals_Init() must only be called once.
This does not affect any ngircd release version.
Earlier version of this patch moved the io and sighandler
initialization before the while() loop, but as Alexander
Barton noticed that broke all systems without builtin select
support in io.c...
- declare signals_catch[] array not between the function implementations.
- rename now local function NGIRCd_Rehash() to Rehash().
- remove empty and therefore not used "catch SIGHUP; break;".
This patch allows ngIRCd to dump its internal state (connected clients,
actual configuration) when compiled with --enable-debug. The daemon
catches two more signals:
- SIGUSR1: toggle debug mode (on/off),
- SIGUSR2: dump internal state to console/syslog.
now that the main signal handling is done from the dispatcher
loop we can call NGIRCD_Rehash() directly.
the /REHASH handler can queue the Rehash() function for
execution by sending a SIGHUP. It will be run when we
return back to the dispatch loop.
Allows to defer/queue signal processing for execution on the next
event dispatch call, i.e. we can perform any signal action in
normal, non-signal context.
Example uses:
- Reload everything on HUP without writing a global "SIGHUP_received"
variable
- Dump status of internal Lists on SIGUSR1, etc.
Fix synchronization of established connections and configured server
structures after a configuration update:
- Not only test servers that already have a connection, but also check
and update configured servers to which a new connection is beeing
established (SERVER_WAIT state).
- And do the server name comparision case-insensitive.
Let CheckServers() not only skip servers that already have a
connection, but also skip servers to which a new connection is
already beeing established (SERVER_WAIT state).
This fixes PING-PONG lag calculation (which resulted in "0" before).
The "lastping" time is still reset it if a time shift backwards has
been detected to prevent the daemon from miscalculating ping timeouts.
When a client has user mode "x" set, its real hostname is cloaked
by substituting it with the server name (as configured in ngircd.conf).
Restricted clients (user mode "r") aren't allowed to change mode "x".
Please note that hostname cloaking is only in effect in server-client
communication! The server still uses the real hostname for its own
logging and for all server-server communication -- therefore all servers
in the network must support user mode "x" to prevent older servers
from leaking the real hostname of a cloaked client!
These two functions return the cloaked hostname, if the client has
enabled hostname cloaking indicated by the -- still to implement --
user mode "x". See furter patches :-)
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 avoids a race and potentionally killing the wrong process on
systems that use randomized process IDs; now the child itself is
responsible to exit in a timely manner using SIGALRM.
Some variables are only used when compiling with IDENT or PAM support
or when the debug code is enabled. Mark them as "unused" so that gcc
doesn't generate warnings when neither of these options is enabled.
When the "NoPAM" configuration option is set and ngIRCd is compiled
with support for PAM, ngIRCd will not call any PAM functions: all
connection attemps without password will succeed instead and all
connection attemps with password will fail.
If ngIRCd is compiled without PAM support, this option is a dummy
option and nothing changes: the global server password will still be
in effect.
For each client connection a child process is forked which handles the
actual PAM authentication and reports the result back to the master
process using a pipe for communication.
While the PAM authentication is in process the daemon does not block.
The Client_SetOrigUser() function is used to store the peer-provided
user name (see USER command) in its original form, not changed by
IDENT results, for example.
Rename Log_Init_Resolver, Log_Exit_Resolver, and Log_Resolver to
Log_Init_Subprocess, Log_Exit_Subprocess, and Log_Subprocess and
make it more generic thereby.
The logic isn't as described in the source and intended by this code:
ngIRCd doesn't wait for the asynchronous resolver process until the set
penalty time is over, but until the forked process terminates or the
initial connection timeout (= PongTimeout) triggers.
So don't set the penalty time at all and remove the wrong comment.
We want to use this process status variable not only for the
resolver subprocesses but other asynchronous tasks as well;
so let's name it more generic.
The new "module" proc.c is used for functions dealing with child
processes. At the moment, it is only used by the asynchronous resolver.
All the functions already implemented habe been migrated from the
resolver code base, and the rest of the ngIRCd source code has been
adepted to the new namespace and calling conventions.
The goal is to develop "generic" process handling functions that can
be used for other purposes as well, e.g. running processes on client
connects etc.
The wrongly placed #endif lead to the following compiler warnings:
conn.h:125: warning: redundant redeclaration of ‘Conn_Count’
conn.h:125: warning: previous declaration of ‘Conn_Count’ was here
conn.h:126: warning: redundant redeclaration of ‘Conn_CountMax’

Users having the user mode "c" set receive NOTICE messages on each
new client connection to the local server as well as disconnects.
Only IRC operators (users having the mode "o" set) are allowed to
set the 'c' user mode.
These connect/disconnect messages can be useful for open proxy
scanners -- BOPM (http://wiki.blitzed.org/BOPM) is now functional
with ngIRCd, for example.

(OFTC is running Hybrid ircd.)
It is not possible to call Conn_Close() after Client_Destroy() has been
called, because Conn_Close wants to access the CLIENT structure which
then has been freed already.
Fix IRC_KILL to use Conn_Close() for local clients and Client_Destroy()
for remote clients only (and never both).
When we get there then the ssl handshake has failed, or
we could not create a ssl context because ssl library
initialization failed on startup.
Reflect that in the log message.
When ngIRCd restarts, all the connection counters are preserved now,
as well as the command counters for example.
It's unclear if resetting or not resetting is the "correct" behaviour,
but it's quite clear that the behaviour should be consistent for all the
counters ngIRCd uses ...
And initializing "WCounter", the global but temporary write counter,
is not necessarry at all: it is initialized (reset) before its use in
the command parser (see parse.c).
The RPL_STATSCONN numeric (250) displays information about the
highest simoultaneous connection count and the number of all
accepted connections since the daemon started up.
Used by ircd-Hybrid, Bahamut, and Unreal for example.
This patch enables ngIRCd to count the highest maximum simultaneous
connections and all the connections accepted since startup.
New functions:
- Conn_Count(): get current connections
- Conn_CountMax(): maximum simultaneous connections
- Conn_CountAccepted(): number of connections accepted
This fixes the following error when compiling on e.g. FreeBSD 6.x:
In file included from conn.c:40:
/usr/include/netinet/ip.h:160: error: syntax error before "n_long"
/usr/include/netinet/ip.h:163: error: syntax error before "n_long"
This patch fixes two warnings of gcc 4.4.3 when used with eglibc 2.11.1:
ngircd.c: In function ‘NGIRCd_Init’:
ngircd.c:801: warning: ignoring return value of ‘chdir’, declared with
attribute warn_unused_result
conn.c: In function ‘Simple_Message’:
conn.c:2041: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’, declared with
attribute warn_unused_result
The first by checking the return code and an appropriate error message,
the second by "better" ignoring it (which is correct there!) ...
The WEBIRC command is used by some Web-to-IRC gateways to set the correct
user name and host name of users instead of their own.
Syntax: WEBIRC <password> <username> <hostname> <ip-address>
The <password> must be set using the new configuration variable "WebircPassword" in the [Global] section of ngircd.conf.
Please note that the <ip-address> is currently not used by ngIRCd (we don't store it in the CLIENT structure, only the resolved hostname).
Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are
allowed to join such a channel.
But please note three things:
a) already joined clients are not checked when setting this mode,
b) IRC operators are always allowed to join every channel, and
c) remote clients using a server not supporting this mode are not
checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
