Alexander Barton f206fda8ae Implement new configuration option "IncludeDir"
The option "IncludeDir" in the [Options] section can be used
to specify a directory which can contain further configuration
files and configuration file snippets matching the pattern
"*.conf" that should be read in after the main configuration
file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been parsed.

Closes bug #157.

Alexander Barton f295117fba New configuration option "IdleTimeout": exit daemon when idle
This patch implements a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the
[Limits] section of the configuration file which can be used to set a
timeout (in seconds) after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no
more connections are left active after handling at least one client.

The default is 0, "never".

This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
activation" with systemd(8), for example.

DNS777 808c291c76 New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp"
If disabled, IRC operators don't become channel operators in persistent
channels when joining. Enabled by default, which has been the behavior
of ngIRCd up to this patch.

Closes bug #135.

Alexander Barton 360a254be0 Enhance "ServiceMask" to handle a list of masks
The "ServiceMask" variable in "Server" blocks now can handle more than
one mask using the new MatchCaseInsensitiveList() function.

This makes marking "service clients" much more specific, which is a
good thing per se, but which is the prerequisite for reasonably
blocking these nick names, too (see commit a6dd2e3 for details).

Sebastian Köhler d0bb185cf5 Hashed hostnames for CloakHost
Implemented support for hashed hostnames for CloakHost. The admin can
use '%x' in both the CloakHost and CloakHostModeX setting. The config
option CloakHostModeX was renamed to CloakHostSalt. This salt is used
for both cloaking options.

Sebastian Köhler 49385a98b2 Implemented hashed cloaked hostnames for +x
CloakHostModeX can now contain '%x'. It will be replace by the hash of
the original client hostname. The new config option CloakHostModeXSalt
defines the salt for the hash function. When CloakHostModeXSalt is not
set a random salt will be generated after each server restart.

Spelling fix in defines.h

xor b80e115f39 New configuration opion "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information
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.

Florian Westphal 1964bda252 conf: move 'run-time-feature-disable' options to new FEATURE section 2011-01-09 19:42:42 +01:00
Florian Westphal 1dca082fc6 config: deprecate NoXX-Options
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....

Alexander Barton a988bbc86a New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable ZeroConf registration

Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X) this parameter can be used to disable service
registration at runtime.

Alexander Barton 5e82a91d13 New configuration option "SyslogFacility"
The new option "SyslogFacility" deines the syslog "facility" to which
ngIRCd should send log messages.

Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
"user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
Default is "local5" for historical reasons.

Florian Westphal 056de78e31 ngircd: change MOTD file handling
previously, the given MotdFile file was read whenever a client
requested it.

Change handling to read the MotdFile contents into memory once
during config file parsing.

Two side effects:
- changes to the MOTD file do not have any effect until ngircds
  configuration is reloaded
- MOTD file does no longer have to reside in the chroot directory
  (the MOTD contents will then not be re-read on reload in that case)

Alexander Barton f369177617 New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM
When the "NoPAM" configuration option is set and ngIRCd is compiled
with support for PAM, ngIRCd will not call any PAM functions: all
connection attemps without password will succeed instead and all
connection attemps with password will fail.

If ngIRCd is compiled without PAM support, this option is a dummy
option and nothing changes: the global server password will still be
in effect.

Alexander Barton 6e8cf51bb2 Implement WEBIRC command
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).

Florian Westphal cf7e19193b do not add default listening port if ssl ports were specified
Cosmo Kastemaa reported that its impossible to create an ssl-only setup,
as ngircd binds to port 6667 by default, even if setting "Ports =".

Only add the default port if _both_ "Ports" and "SSLPorts" are
unspecified.

Fixes bugzilla #98.

Alexander Barton c5000694d1 Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels.
This patch introduces the new configuration variable "KeyFile" for
[Channel] sections in ngircd.conf. Here a file can be configured for each
pre-defined channel which contains individual channel keys for different
users. This file is line-based and must have the following syntax:

  <user>:<nick>:<key>

<user> and <nick> can contain the wildcard character "*".

Please not that these channel keys are only in effect, when the channel
has a regular key set using channel mode "k"!
