ngIRCd relaxes its flood protection for users having the user mode "F" set
and allows them to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example, see
<http://docs.dal.net/docs/modes.html#4.9>.
ngIRCd uses "command throttling" and "bps throttling" (bytes per second).
The states are detected in different functions, Conn_Handler() and
Read_Request(), but handle the actual "throttling" in a common function:
this enables us to guarantee consistent behavior and to disable throttling
for special connections in only one place, eventually.
Change all #define's to follow the form
#define DEBUG_xxx {0|1}
to disable (0, default) or enable (1) additional debug messages.
And somewhat enhance some DEBUG_BUFFER messages.
This partially reverts commit b130b35f4, "Update #include's: remove
unused and add missing ones", but fixes the following compiler and
analyzer warnings of Apple Xcode 5:
"Semantic issue: No previous prototype for function 'yyy'"
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
ngIRCd already includes <sys/types.h> in a lot of places without
checking for its existence (for example in "ngircd.c", "io.c", ...),
therefore make it a required header file.
Fix the following two errors emitted by the Apple K&R C compiler
on Apple A/UX:
"./class.c", line 47: no automatic aggregate initialization
"./class.c", line 47: illegal lhs of assignment operator
"./conf.c", line 1052: syntax error
Tested on A/UX 3.1.1.
The cloaked IRC mask of a user is his visible mask, so the daemon has
to use it for generating the "one time" entries for the invite list of
the given channel.
Without this patch, ngIRCd records the real IRC mask which will never
match while the target client is "+x", and even worse, will disclose
the real mask on "MODE #channel +I" commands :-/
Bug reported by Cahata on #ngircd, thanks!
This fixes commit 2e168c78 ("Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on
'VERSION'") and make sure, that the 005 numerics are correctly
routed back to the sender.
If libwrap becomes added earlier, other tests may fail because of not all
external variables required by libwrap are available when linking: for
example allow_severity and deny_severity.
This patch adds generic support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables
(CFLAGS_END has been implemented already).
Problem spotted on OpenBSD.
Don't support "range marching" in our pattern matching code using
the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character,
which is quite unexpected. For example:
Nick "te[st" => "MODE #channel +b te\[st"
And remove quoting altogether, too, because "*" and "?" don't need
to be quoted because these characters are not allowed in IRC masks,
nicks, and hostnames.
Reported by "hifi" (Toni Spets) on IRC, thanks!
Now you can call platformtest.sh using its complete path name from an
other directory which is then used for building.
See <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/VPATH-Builds.html>
Please not that the build system itself is still (re-)genrated in the
original source tree. This can be avoided by passing the "-x" switch to
the platformtest.sh script.
According to RFC 2812 3.2.3 "Channel mode message" and the examples
there, it looks like clients should use "MODE -k <key>" to unset channel
keys; and that's how other servers and services behave and do expect it.
(But please note that this is NOT the case for "MODE -l"!)
In the end, it doesn't make sense to specify a key when UNsetting it at
all, and different services behave diffrently when clients do not send
the currently set key to unset it - some ignore such calls, for example!
But this implementation is quite relaxed, it accepts any key when
unsetting channel mode "k" and even accepts no key at all. But the reply
will always include an "*" character for every "-k" parameter.
C99 states that vsnprintf() "returns the number of characters that
would have been printed if the n were unlimited"; but according to the
Linux manual page "glibc until 2.0.6 would return -1 when the output
was truncated" -- so we have to handle both cases ...
We already require GNU autoconf 2.67 for generating our build system (at
least this is what the INSTALL document states), so update the build system
accordingly and implement all changes that autoupdate(1) suggests:
- Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT
- Use AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE
- Remove AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE)
