If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE command has the user mode 'C'
set, it is required that both sender and receiver are on the same channel.
This prevents private flooding by completely unknown clients.
When "PAMIsOptional" is set, clients not sending a password are still
allowed to connect: they won't become "identified" and keep the "~"
character prepended to their supplied user name.
The default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
Closes#119.
* newconfig:
sample-ngircd.conf: "SyslogFacility" should be commented out
Move SSL-related configuration variables to new [SSL] section
CheckFileReadable(): only check when a filename is given ...
PAM: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored
Really remove [Features] in our manual pages
INSTALL: document changed location of configuration variables
Update sample config file and manual page for new config structure
Testsuite: update configuration files for new config file format
Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest"
conf.c: code cleanup
Check for redability of SSL-related files like for MOTD file
Restructure ngIRCd configuration, introduce [Limits] and [Options]
this patch contains:
* Fix for Conf_CloakUserToNick to make it conceal user details
* Adds MorePrivacy-feature
MorePrivacy censors some user information from being reported by the
server. Signon time and idle time is censored. Part and quit messages
are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped. All
of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
servers from TOR or I2P.
problem is that some clients refuse to connect to severs that only offer
1024. For interoperability it would be best to just use 4096, but that
takes minutes, even on current hardware.
* CloakUserHost:
Add a note not to use a percent sign ("%") in CloakHost variable
Rename ClientHost to CloakHost, and ClientUserNick to CloakUserToNick
Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net"
ngircd.conf.5: document "ClientHost" and "ClientUserNick"
Move "ClientHost" and "ClientUserNick" to end of [Global] section
ClientUserNick setting
ClientHost setting
* QuitOnHTTP:
Only "handle" HTTP commands on unregistered connections
Don't use IRC_QUIT_HTTP() if STRICT_RFC is #define'd
IRC_QUIT_HTTP(): enhance error message
Move IRC_QUIT_HTTP() below IRC_QUIT()
quit on HTTP commands: GET & POST
* bug72-WHOIS-List:
Add "whois-test" to testsuite and distribution archive
Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries.
The percent sign is reserved for future extensions, for example to
expand some variables like %H to a hash value of the real host name ...
Idea by kaFux in #ngircd.
ngircd unfortunately uses several options using double-negation, e.g.
NoIdent = No, NoPam = No, etc.
This renames all options by dropping the "No" prefix, e.g.
"NoIdent = no" becomes "Ident = yes".
The old options will continue to work, but will cause a warning
message.
Also update man pages and default config.
To prevent silly
'Ident = yes' from appearing in --configtest output in the
'ident support not compiled in and Ident Option not used' case,
make default value depend on feature availability.
If feature is available, enable by default, otherwise disable.
We might consider moving these options to a new
[Feature]
section, or something like that, because none of these options are
essential.
Another possible improvement:
'Ident = yes' option in ngircd.conf causes a warning if ngircd was
built without ident support.
This does not happen with e.g. zeroconf....
- Add generated sample-ngircd.conf to new .gitignore file,
- refactor Makefile.am to generate sample-ngircd.conf on "make all",
to clean it up on "make clean", and to install it to the correct place.
- Make sure path names in sample-ngircd.conf are separated by "/".
