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 "/".
