This patch introduces the possibility to arbitrarily select ciphers which
should be promoted resp. declined when establishing a SSL connection
with a client by implementing the new configuration option "CipherList".
By default, OpenSSL would accept low and medium strength and RC-4 ciphers,
which nowadays are known to be broken.
This patch only implements the feature for OpenSSL. A GnuTLS counterpart
has to be implemented in another patch ...
Original patch by Bastian <bastian-ngircd@t6l.de>.
Closes bug #162.
The new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" lists user modes that
become automatically set on new local clients right after login.
Please note that only modes can be set that the client could set on
itself, you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op), for example! User
modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are "interesting", though.
Default: set no modes (like without this patch).
Closes bug #160.
The new configuration variable "AllowedChannelTypes" lists all allowed
channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels on the local
server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
This patch deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
still supported and translated to the apropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
setting. When "PredefChannelsOnly" is processed, a warning message is
logged.
Closes bug #152.
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.
* systemd:
ngircd.sock: explicitely bind to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Show address and port of sockets passed-in by systemd(8)
Check type of sockets passed-in by systemd(8)
Adjust severity levels of some log messages
New configuration option "IdleTimeout": exit daemon when idle
Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation"
contrib/README: add more files
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.
