Don't crash the daemon when the NJOIN handler can't join the new client
to a channel (when the Channel_Join() function failed) but try to KILL this
client -- which is the only possible reaction besides crashing: otherwise
the network would get out of sync.
The IRC_KillClient() function is documented to handle the case that the
"Client" structure is NULL, so make sure that this actually works and
can't crash the daemon.
Please note:
The current code doesn't make use of this feature, so this fix is
definitely the "right" thing to do but doesn't fix an actual problem.
ngIRCd tested for the wrong prefix of "half ops" when processing NJOIN
commands and therefore never classified a remote user as "half op".
Thanks to wowaname for pointing this out on #ngircd!
Now ngIRCd catches more errors on the server-to-server (S2S) protocol
that could crash the daemon before. This hasn't been a real problem
because the IRC S2S protocol is "trusted" by design, but the behavior
is much better now.

At the moment ngircd fails the tests for reproducible builds in Debian
since it uses the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros for the INFO command.
Instead of patching this out I decided to implement an optional
constant BIRTHTIME that allows you to set a time stamp for the "Birth
Date" information, in seconds since the epoch, like in
export CFLAGS += -DBIRTHTIME=$(shell date +%s --date="2015/08/15 23:42:22")
In the future, Debian will provide a SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment
variable, dealing with the situation until then will be my job.
The time format was taken from the NGIRCd_StartStr formatting in
ngircd.c so the "Birth Date" and "On-line since" lines in the INFO
output look similar:
:irc.example.net 371 nick :ngIRCd 22.1-IDENT+IPv6+IRCPLUS+PAM+SSL+SYSLOG+ZLIB-x86_64/pc/linux-gnu
:irc.example.net 371 nick :Birth Date: Tue Aug 25 2015 at 18:11:11 (CEST)
:irc.example.net 371 nick :On-line since Tue Aug 25 2015 at 18:11:33 (CEST)
:irc.example.net 374 nick :End of INFO list
The format of the time stamped is changed, but as far as I can tell, there's no
rule that is violated by that.
Bonus level: Reformat the messages so the time stamps are aligned.
AUTH is a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not
a good idea. Use * as the target instead as done with numerics
when the nick is not available.
This mimics the behaviour in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd 2.2,
Plexus 4, etc.
Reconnecting to ngIRCd 22.1 built with OpenSSL with some OpenSSL
clients, including Pidgin and stunnel 5.06, attempts to reuse a session
and fails due to the absence of this line.
The error message in syslog from ngIRCd is:
> SSL protocol error: SSL_accept (error:140D9115:SSL
> routines:SSL_GET_PREV_SESSION:session id context uninitialized)
This patch appears to fix the problem for both Pidgin and stunnel; it
may work for other OpenSSL clients that attempt to re-use sessions.
