This patch implements a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the
[Limits] section of the configuration file which can be used to set a
timeout (in seconds) after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no
more connections are left active after handling at least one client.
The default is 0, "never".
This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
activation" with systemd(8), for example.
If disabled, IRC operators don't become channel operators in persistent
channels when joining. Enabled by default, which has been the behavior
of ngIRCd up to this patch.
Closes bug #135.
(Cosmetic fixes by Alex.)
The "ServiceMask" variable in "Server" blocks now can handle more than
one mask using the new MatchCaseInsensitiveList() function.
This makes marking "service clients" much more specific, which is a
good thing per se, but which is the prerequisite for reasonably
blocking these nick names, too (see commit a6dd2e3 for details).
Implemented support for hashed hostnames for CloakHost. The admin can
use '%x' in both the CloakHost and CloakHostModeX setting. The config
option CloakHostModeX was renamed to CloakHostSalt. This salt is used
for both cloaking options.
CloakHostModeX can now contain '%x'. It will be replace by the hash of
the original client hostname. The new config option CloakHostModeXSalt
defines the salt for the hash function. When CloakHostModeXSalt is not
set a random salt will be generated after each server restart.
Spelling fix in defines.h
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.
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.
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 "/".
