For example, Interix is missing this function, which prevented
ngIRCd to build on this platform. When setgroups(3) isn't available,
a warning message is issued when ngIRCd starts up.
The "deheader" tool (<http://www.catb.org/~esr/deheader/>) has been
used to find unused #include directives as well as missing ones.
Tested on:
- A/UX 3.1.1
- ArchLinux (2014-03-17)
- Debian GNU/Hurd
- Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.9
- Debian GNU/Linux 7.4
- Fedora 20
- FreeBSD 9.2
- OpenBSD 4.8
- OpenBSD 5.1
- OS X 10.9
- Solaris 11
This fixes the following warning on OpenBSD 5.3:
ngircd.o(.text+0xeb4): In function `main':
src/ngircd/ngircd.c:300: warning: strcat() is almost always misused,
please use strlcat()
Thanks to Götz Hoffart for reporting this!
Without this patch, ngIRCd ignores SSL-related messages and continues
to start up but only listens on plain text communication ports -- and
this most probably isn't what the administrator wanted ...
Closes bug #163.
Make sure that all log messages end with a correct punctuation mark.
The rules for formatting log messages are:
1. Add punctuation marks to all messages passed to the actual logging
functions like Log() and LogDebug().
2. Don't add any punctuation marks to messages that are stored in
variables for later use or are passed over the network.
3. IP addresses, DNS host names and IRC server names should be quoted.
4. Messages originating in the network should be quoted (at least if
they are "untrusted" or variable).
Most probably this patch doesn't fix all mistakes, but it should be a
good starting point ...
Don't abort on "single user operating systems" that don't know more than
one user account and therefore can't change user and group IDs.
Currently, the only such system supported by ngIRCd is Haiku, a BeOS
clone.
This closes bug #109.
* bug109-CHARCONV:
Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building
Debian ngircd-full[-dbg]: enable CHARCONV
Add "CHARCONV" to "feature string" when enabled
Implement new IRC+ "CHARCONV" command
Added new configure option "--with-iconv"
Conflicts:

With this patch, the SSL subsystem will only be initialized if at least
one SSL ports is configured; so you won't get "SSL initialization failed"
messages if you didn't configured it at all.
And if SSL initialization fails, no SSL listen ports will be enabled
later which never could establish a working SSL connection at all ...
Update GNU autoconf and automake infrastructure.
Tested on modern systems as well as Apple A/UX :-)
* autoconf-update:
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS: fix ansi2knr option, include path
Don't use AC_FUNC_MALLOC and AC_FUNC_REALLOC
Make our own targets "silent", if enabled
configure.in: use AC_CHECK_{FUNCS|HEADERS}_ONCE
Updated config.{guess|sub} to version 2012-08-14
Make autogen.sh more verbose when VERBOSE=1 is set
configure.in: use AC_SEARCH_LIBS (not AC_CHECK_LIB)
configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING macro
configure.in: use AC_CANONICAL_HOST (not AC_CANONICAL_TARGET)
configure.in: inttypes.h is an optional header file
Use HAVE_SETSID #define when testing for setsid()
Don't include <stdint.h>, it is included by "portab.h"
Don't check type.h availability, it is required
configure.in: Use AC_CONFIG_FILES macro
configure.in: Don't use AC_C_PROTOTYPES
configure.in: Update checks for required and optional features
configure.in: require autoconf 2.67 and automake 1.11
configure.in: sort some lists (templates, output, ...)
Up to now, ngIRCd silently ignored permission denied errors when trying
to enable a chroot setup: only the "not running chrooted" message became
logged later on.
This patch lets ngIRCd exit with a fatal error when the chroot can't
be enabled on startup -- this is the much safer bevahiour!
Syslog logging has been initialized before reading the configuraton
file, so ngIRCd always used the default facility and ignored the
"SyslogFacility" configuration option.
Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
we do not need this for cryptographic purposes, but we can do better
than plain srandom(getpid()).
Also, keep in mind that rng state is inherited across fork(), so re-init
it in the child.
When enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an
numeric "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered
in the network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
This is used by QuakeNet for example (ircu/snircd), and looks like this:
NICK nick
:irc.example.net PING :1858979527
USER user . . :real name
PONG 1858979527
:irc.example.net 001 nick :Welcome to the Internet Relay Network ...
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.
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.
