Different operating systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS
lookups, for example "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and
sometimes to "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other
systems resolve "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin).
So not using DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
Now "IncludeDir" defaults to "$SYSCONFDIR/ngircd.conf.d" instead
of no directory, but a missing directory is only reported as an
error if it has explicitely configured in the main configuration
file and simply ignored otherwise.
Therefore it is now possible not to touch the default (sample)
configuration file at all, and set all distribution and/or system
specific configuration options in "*.conf" files stored in
"$SYSCONFDIF/ngircd.conf.d/".
Thanks to "Elmasloco" for the idea!
Fix commit 5a34bb203a:
It is not enough to strip the "No" prefix from "Ident" and "PAM",
but we have to introduce the new [Features] section to fix all
warning messages of ngIRCd.
Variables "Ident" and "PAM" in [Global] are completely wrong :-(
The new configuration option "NoIdent" in ngircd.conf can be used to
disable IDENT lookups even when the ngIRCd daemon is compiled with IDENT
lookups enabled.
I changed the test suite to start two test servers (on port 6789 and 6790),
so server-server links can be tested as well for which I included the new
test script "server-link-test.e".
In addition the documentation of the test suite (src/testsuite/README) has
been updated and is more complete now.
