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.
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.
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.
SERVICE, SERVLIST, and SQUERY are required by RFC 2812 (it states in
section 3 that "all commands described in this section MUST be implemented
by any server for this protocol." -- So we implement them without (much)
actual functionality ...
Code cleanup and fix for Bug #83, "ngIRCd chokes on 1-character messages" in
function Handle_Buffer(): the buffer is now correctly cleared when ngIRCd
receives 1-character messages terminated with either CR or LF (in violation
to RFC 2812, section 2.3 "Messages", 5th paragraph).
Add support for modeless channels (+channels).
[fw@strlen.de:
- integrate test cases
- don't support +channels when compiled with --strict-rfc
- do not set +o mode for channel creator
- force +nt mode when channel is created ]
ngircd will exit if the config file cannot be opened. While
thats okay if ngircd starts up for the first time, it isn't
when we are re-reading the config file after a /REHASH or SIGHUP.
all references to struct sockaddr/in_addr have been
removed from src/ngircd.
libngipaddr (in src/ipaddr/) hides all the gory details.
See src/ipaddr/ng_ipaddr.h for API description.
This does hit only operators that join a channel with at least 2 servers active in the net
the server the oper connects to sends "channel^Go" to the other servers
the other server first searches for the channel and then strips the modes from the channel name
he has to do the other way round: first strip and then check the channel name.
RPL_WHOREPLY messages generated by IRC_WHO don't include flags (*,@,+)
that should appear according to this description:
http://www.mishscript.de/reference/rawhelp3.htm#raw352
Other IRC servers do include the flags.
Modify who-test.e to expose missing flags,
modify ngircd-test.conf to accommodate who-test.e, and fix
irc-info.c to correct these problems.
Under some circumstances ngIRCd currently issues a channel MODE message
with a trailing space after the last parameter, which isn't permitted by
the grammar in RFC 2812 section 2.3.1:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-2.3.1
The following patch modifies mode-test.e to expose this, and modifies
irc-mode.c to correct it.
Dana Dahlstrom reported that IRC_WHO did not follow
RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1. Specifically:
- IRC_WHO did not send "G" flag instead if "H" if client was away
- did not search username/servername/hostname etc. if argument
was not a channel.
Fix all of the above and tidy things up a bit.
Also add IRC_WHO test script contributed by Dana.
The students in my software-engineering class are writing IRC clients in
Java, and I'm running ngIRCd as a sandbox for them to play in. We
noticed ngIRCd doesn't obey the "JOIN 0" command specified in RFC 2812:
JOIN 0 ; Leave all currently joined
channels.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-3.2.1
I believe the following patch addresses this. Cheers!
[fw@strlen.de: put it into a seperate function]
- New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
- Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and
enable server to recognice numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD).
See doc/Protocol.txt for details.
