This patch lets ngIRCd count outgoing connections as well as incoming
connections (up to now only outgoing connections have been counted). This
change is required because the Conn_Close() function doesn't know whether
it closes an outgoing connection or not and therefore would decrement the
counter below zero when an outgoing connection existed -- which would
trigger an assert() call ...
Please note that this patch changes the (so far undocumented but now fixed)
behaviour of the "MaxConnections" configuration option to account the sum
of the in- and outbound connections!
Some servers send the numeric 020 ("please wait while we process your
connection") when a client connects. This is no useful information for
this server, so we simply ignore it :-)
This patch enables ngIRCd to use GNUTLS in really old versions, tested
with version 1.0.16, that don't define the "new" data types ending in
xxx_t. LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR isn't defined there as well, so we use
it to test if we must define the new types on our own.
Alexander Barton reported a compiler warning on 64-bit platforms:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
conn-ssl.c: In function 'ConnSSL_Init_SSL':
conn-ssl.c:403: error: cast to pointer from integer of
different size
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a real solution; the GNUTLS
API expects 'gnutls_transport_ptr_t' (which is void*),
but the default push/pull functions (send/recv) expect an int.
The only alternative solution is to pass in an address to the
file descriptor, then add send/recv wrappers that expect a pointer.
What a mess[tm].
This patch fixes the following warning of GCC (version 4.3.2) in

This patch fixes the following warning of GCC (version 4.3.2) in

This patch
- introduces a new server flag "S" to indicate that the server can handle
the SERVICE command (on server links),
- implements the IRC command "SERVICE" for server-server links,
- uses the "SERVICE" command to announce IRC services when a new
server connects to it,
- and fixes the Send_Message() function to let it send messages to
services using a "target mask".
If the remote server doesn't indicate that it can handle the "SERVICE"
command (it has not set the "S" flag), services are announced as regular
users as before.
This patch enables ngIRCd to handle IRC services as real services, and not
as "fake users":
- Set correct client type CLIENT_SERVICE for services,
- Change log messages to include correct client type,
- PRIVMSG: allow users to send messages to services,
- Send services nick names to other servers (as users).
Please note that this patch doesn't announce services as services in the
network, but as regular users (as before). Only the local server knows
of services as services (see LUSERS command, for example). It is up to
one of the next patches to fix this and to introduce the SERVICE command
in server to server communication.
The propagation of services as regular users between servers doesn't limit
the functionality of the IRC services and will be the fallback for servers
that don't support "real" services propagation in the future.
Client_TypeText() is used to get correct naming ("Client", "Service", ...)
for log messages, and Destroy_UserOrService() is used to correctly destroy
user and services clients.
Introduce a new configuration variable "ServiceMask" in SERVER blocks to
define a mask matching nick names that should be treated as services.
Regular servers don't need this parameter (leave it empty, the default),
but you should set it to "*Serv" when connection ircservices, for example.
This patch allows ngIRCd to detect services, it doesn't change the
functionality: you only get different log messages ;-)
All the required information is already stored in the CLIENT structure
of new new connection, so pass this to Introduce_Client() and don't
invent an unneeded new structure ...
This patch allows ngIRCd to detect right after receiving the SERVER command
from the peer whether the RFC 1459 compatibility mode must be used or not.
And it fixes the announcement of users during establishing new server links
with such peers.
This patch enables ngIRCd to deal with NICK and USER commands following
RFC 1459 to register new clients, and to send these commands instead of one
full NICK command as specified in RFC 2813 on connections that are in RFC
1459 compatibility mode.
Can be useful for e. g. IRC services that simulate a RFC 1459 server.
This new connection option CONN_RFC1459 indicates that the peer on this
link only supports the IRC protocol as defined in RFC 1459 and that the
compatibility mode (e. g. for outgoing commands like NICK) should be used.
This patch allows servers and services to call the NICK command using the
syntax defined in RFC 1459 to register new users, with only two parameters.
See section 4.1.2.
Useful for some services packages, which emulate this protocol.
Config option claimed to be 'number of connections' but in reality this
was treated as 'largest file descriptor allowed'.
This also fixes another bug in New_connection, where the
ng_ipaddr_tostr_r error path was missing a return statement.
Some message targets could lead to a NULL pointer dereference and therefore
could crash the daemon (denial of service).

"I wanted to let you know that I've done a quick port of ngircd-0.12.0 for
NEXTSTEP3.3/OPENSTEP4.2. There wasn't a lot of changes required to get it
to compile clean, but I did make the necessary changes so that I didn't
have to use -posix flag. The NeXT has a pretty buggy POSIX implementation
so I always try to work around it. :-)
Anway, here's the changes required to get it to compile."
