Syslog logging has been initialized before reading the configuraton
file, so ngIRCd always used the default facility and ignored the
"SyslogFacility" configuration option.
Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
we do not need this for cryptographic purposes, but we can do better
than plain srandom(getpid()).
Also, keep in mind that rng state is inherited across fork(), so re-init
it in the child.
When enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an
numeric "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered
in the network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
This is used by QuakeNet for example (ircu/snircd), and looks like this:
NICK nick
:irc.example.net PING :1858979527
USER user . . :real name
PONG 1858979527
:irc.example.net 001 nick :Welcome to the Internet Relay Network ...
The information written to the "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err) when
ngIRCd is compiled with debug code enabled isn't that usefule, so don't
create this file at all.
This patch allows ngIRCd to dump its internal state (connected clients,
actual configuration) when compiled with --enable-debug. The daemon
catches two more signals:
- SIGUSR1: toggle debug mode (on/off),
- SIGUSR2: dump internal state to console/syslog.
now that the main signal handling is done from the dispatcher
loop we can call NGIRCD_Rehash() directly.
the /REHASH handler can queue the Rehash() function for
execution by sending a SIGHUP. It will be run when we
return back to the dispatch loop.
Allows to defer/queue signal processing for execution on the next
event dispatch call, i.e. we can perform any signal action in
normal, non-signal context.
Example uses:
- Reload everything on HUP without writing a global "SIGHUP_received"
variable
- Dump status of internal Lists on SIGUSR1, etc.
This patch fixes two warnings of gcc 4.4.3 when used with eglibc 2.11.1:
ngircd.c: In function ‘NGIRCd_Init’:
ngircd.c:801: warning: ignoring return value of ‘chdir’, declared with
attribute warn_unused_result
conn.c: In function ‘Simple_Message’:
conn.c:2041: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’, declared with
attribute warn_unused_result
The first by checking the return code and an appropriate error message,
the second by "better" ignoring it (which is correct there!) ...
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.

cast pid_t to long to avoid this.
While we are there, cast uid_t and gid_t, too.
- Fix formatting of some log messages, mostly punctuation.
- cb_Connect_to_Server(): don't use string concatenation, because it
is not supported by pre-ANSI C compilers ...

"I wanted to let you know that I've done a quick port of ngircd-0.12.0 for
NEXTSTEP3.3/OPENSTEP4.2. There wasn't a lot of changes required to get it
to compile clean, but I did make the necessary changes so that I didn't
have to use -posix flag. The NeXT has a pretty buggy POSIX implementation
so I always try to work around it. :-)
Anway, here's the changes required to get it to compile."
This patch adds -h and -V short options (to complement the usage).
It is based on a patch attached to Debian bug #466063, see
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466063>.
Idea by Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>,

ngircd will exit if the config file cannot be opened. While
thats okay if ngircd starts up for the first time, it isn't
when we are re-reading the config file after a /REHASH or SIGHUP.
all references to struct sockaddr/in_addr have been
removed from src/ngircd.
libngipaddr (in src/ipaddr/) hides all the gory details.
See src/ipaddr/ng_ipaddr.h for API description.
- New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
- Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and
enable server to recognice numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD).
See doc/Protocol.txt for details.
to the users working directory (as returned by getpwuid()).
Failing to chdir to that directory isn't an error; so
log with LOG_INFO and prefix the message with "Notice".
