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.
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"!
This patch fixes the following lintian(1) warning: "Manual page seems
to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended. '-' chars are
interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus signs (U+002D).
Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this means for
example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut&paste options, nor search
for them easily. '-' must be escaped ('\-') to be interpreted as minus."
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.
This patch lets ngIRCd count outgoing connections as well as incoming
connections (up to now only outgoing connections have been counted). This
change is required because the Conn_Close() function doesn't know whether
it closes an outgoing connection or not and therefore would decrement the
counter below zero when an outgoing connection existed -- which would
trigger an assert() call ...
Please note that this patch changes the (so far undocumented but now fixed)
behaviour of the "MaxConnections" configuration option to account the sum
of the in- and outbound connections!
this also obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options.
If Listen is unset, it is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
Also, some plattforms require that ai_socktype
is set in the getaddrinfo() hints structure.
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>,
patch adapted by Alexander Barton <alex@barton.de>.
- 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.
