The WEBIRC command is used by some Web-to-IRC gateways to set the correct
user name and host name of users instead of their own.
Syntax: WEBIRC <password> <username> <hostname> <ip-address>
The <password> must be set using the new configuration variable "WebircPassword" in the [Global] section of ngircd.conf.
Please note that the <ip-address> is currently not used by ngIRCd (we don't store it in the CLIENT structure, only the resolved hostname).
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.
Now the numeric 004 correctly reports all the supported user and channel
modes (user modes "r" and "w" were missing), e. g.:
:a.irc.net 004 a a.irc.net ngircd-15 aiorsw biIklmnoPstv
Fix Apple Xcode warning "cc1: warning: -Wuninitialized is not supported
without -O" when using the "Debug" build target:
Detection of uninitialized automatic variable requires data flow analsys
that is only enabled during optimized compilation.
Print "SSLOptionVar =" instead of omitting the option when
running --configtest with ssl enabled.
This better matches the behaviour of other options, e.g. ChrootDir.
This patch enables IRC Operators to use the SQUIT command as specified in
RFC 2812, section 3.1.8 "Squit".
When forwarding SQUIT commands, the server connected to the target will
drop the connection (not the target server itself!).
Please note:
- the configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" mus be enabled on the
server disconnecting the target to allow forwarding of SQUIT commands.
- if the remote server is configured to establish the connection, it
will just do this; so the disconnect is not permanent in this case!
The new "module" op.c is used to implement functions related to IRC Ops.
At the moment, these two functions are available:
- Op_Check() to check for a valid IRC Op, and
- Op_NoPrivileges() to generate "permission denied" messages.
The syntax of the CONNECT command now is:
- CONNECT <server-id>
- CONNECT <server-id> <port>
- CONNECT <server-id> <port> <target>
- CONNECT <server-id> <port> <host> <my-pwd> <peer-pwd>
- CONNECT <server-id> <port> <host> <my-pwd> <peer-pwd> <target>
Note: the configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" mus be enabled on the
target server to allow forwarding of CONNECT commands.
Added new configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" to control whether
remote IRC operators are allowed to use administrative commands that
affect this server or not
This commit introduces the configuration variable, but actually no
function is using it. That's up for the next patches to come ...
when building with debugging enabled, but without ipv6 support,
ngircd dumped core when loading a config file that specified an ipv6
listen address.
ngircd: ng_ipaddr.c:45: ng_ipaddr_init: Assertion `sizeof(*addr) >=
res0->ai_addrlen' failed.
Test for sockaddr_in.sin_len and initialize it to the correct value
which some systems (notably Mac OS X) require.
Note: this code path is only relevant when not using getaddrinfo().
Both getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are now used always when available, and
not only when compiling ngIRCd with support for IPv6.
This not only enables ngIRCd to handle multiple addresses per hostname when
compiled without support for IPv6, but fixes binding ngIRCd to IP addresses
on Mac OS X (and probably other BSD-based systems) as well: these systems
require that sockaddr_in is zeroed out and sockaddr_in.sin_len is set to
sizeof(sockaddr_in) like that:
src/ipaddr/ng_ipaddr.c, line 54:
assert(ip_str);
+ memset(addr, 0, sizeof *addr);
+ addr->sin4.sin_len = sizeof(addr->sin4);
addr->sin4.sin_family = AF_INET;
But this would break all the systems not using sockaddr_in.sin_len, for
example Linux -- so we assume that all these systems provide getaddrinfo()
and use that for now.
