Update documentation to reflect "[Channel]->Modes" changes

2020-03-29T21:17:21+00:00

No longer mention "[Channel]->Key" and "[Channel]->MaxUsers".

Fix some typos (documentation files, ngircd.conf manual page, ...)

2019-07-21T14:23:07+00:00

Spotted by Étienne Mollier and Christoph Biedl , see Debian bug #932462 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=932462). Thank you!

Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length (#254)

2019-01-03T13:06:01+00:00

The max length is actually 126 (< 127), since the check errors out if length >= 127. See . I didn't look through the history to see when the change happened. I just happened to find during a migration that my 140 character MOTD didn't work. Update sample configuration file as well as the man page.

Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime" (#251)

2018-11-28T13:13:09+00:00

This option configures the maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so values higher than 1 rarely make sense. Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally not meant to be used on production systems! Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation: - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s Closes #249.

Add PAMServiceName setting to specify the used PAM configuration

2016-06-05T21:48:29+00:00

This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd instances with PAM configurations on each instance. If one sets it to "ngircd-foo", PAM will use `/etc/pam.d/ngircd-foo` instead of the default `/etc/pam.d/ngircd`.

Rename NoticeAuth to NoticeBeforeRegistration.

2015-07-14T13:43:19+00:00

The old name is still supported for compatibility reasons.

Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH".

2015-07-14T13:37:42+00:00

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.

Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default

Idea, initial patch, and testing by Christoph Biedl

Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes

2014-03-18T15:43:21+00:00

Let IRC_MODE() detect that the "fake" MODE command originated on the local sever, which enables all modes to be settable using "DefaultUserModes" that can be set by regular MODE commands, including modes only settable by IRC Operators.

Implement new configuration option "Network"

2013-12-27T22:16:11+00:00

The new configuration variable "Network" is used to set the (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in. Closes bug #165.
