This generic function tests if a client is allowed to do administrative
tasks to a specific channel:
- servers and services are always truested ("allowed everything"),
- channel operators are allowed,
- IRC operarors are allowed if OperCanUseMode is set in the config.
When a client has user mode "x" set, its real hostname is cloaked
by substituting it with the server name (as configured in ngircd.conf).
Restricted clients (user mode "r") aren't allowed to change mode "x".
Please note that hostname cloaking is only in effect in server-client
communication! The server still uses the real hostname for its own
logging and for all server-server communication -- therefore all servers
in the network must support user mode "x" to prevent older servers
from leaking the real hostname of a cloaked client!
Users having the user mode "c" set receive NOTICE messages on each
new client connection to the local server as well as disconnects.
Only IRC operators (users having the mode "o" set) are allowed to
set the 'c' user mode.
These connect/disconnect messages can be useful for open proxy
scanners -- BOPM (http://wiki.blitzed.org/BOPM) is now functional
with ngIRCd, for example.
Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are
allowed to join such a channel.
But please note three things:
a) already joined clients are not checked when setting this mode,
b) IRC operators are always allowed to join every channel, and
c) remote clients using a server not supporting this mode are not
checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
Don't echo multiple syntax error messages (461) on invalid commands,
but break after the first one.
In addition, this solves corrupted 'Unknown mode "+' messages.
when ngircd is build without DEBUG enabled, LOG_DEBUG messages
are always discarded.
To avoid the extra code, ngircd has a LogDebug() wrapper which
gets removed by the compiler when compiling without DEBUG defined.
Update a few functings which were using the
Log(LOG_DEBUG, .. interface directly without #ifdef DEBUG guards.

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.
Modeless channels (+channels) are described in RFC 2811;
so my modifications to
530112b114
('Add support for modeless channels')
to disable +channels for --strict-rfc configurations
were wrong. This reverts those changes.
Add support for modeless channels (+channels).
[fw@strlen.de:
- integrate test cases
- don't support +channels when compiled with --strict-rfc
- do not set +o mode for channel creator
- force +nt mode when channel is created ]
Under some circumstances ngIRCd currently issues a channel MODE message
with a trailing space after the last parameter, which isn't permitted by
the grammar in RFC 2812 section 2.3.1:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-2.3.1
The following patch modifies mode-test.e to expose this, and modifies
irc-mode.c to correct it.
