2013-02-03Commands.txt: Add description for the "CHARCONV" commandAlexander Barton
2013-02-03Commands.txt: Add description for the "CAP" commandAlexander Barton
2013-01-23Commands.txt: Import descriptions from "rbose/command_help"Alexander Barton
Import command description texts from the "rbose/command_help" branch, which have been written by DNS <dns@rbose.org> -- thanks a lot!
2013-01-23Commands.txt: Reorder some commandsAlexander Barton
Reorder some commands and introduce new section "Connection Handling". Idea by DNS <dns@rbose.org>, thanks!
2013-01-23Commands.txt: Fix some wording and spellingAlexander Barton
2013-01-23ngircd.service: Use "forking" service typeAlexander Barton
Don't run ngIRCd in forground mode but let it daemonize itself. This enhances the log output of "systemctl status ngircd.service", because now ngIRCd doesn't print out its PID and timestamp on each log message which is redundant: it becomes logged by systemd/journald already.
2013-01-22Return better "Connection not registered as server link" errorsAlexander Barton
Now ngIRCd returns a more specific error message for numeric ERR_NOTREGISTERED(451) when a regular user tries to use a command that isn't allowed for users but for servers: ERR_NOTREGISTEREDSERVER(451).
2013-01-13MODE: don't report error on "more modes than parameters"Alexander Barton
Don't report ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) when a MDOE command with more modes than nicknames is handled, as well as for channel limit and key changes without specifying the limit or key parameters. This is how a lot (all?) other IRC servers behave, including ircd2.11, InspIRCd, and ircd-seven. And because of clients (tested with Textual and mIRC) sending bogus MODE commands like "MODE -ooo nick", end-users got the expected result as well as correct but misleading error messages ... If ngIRCd is compiled using "strict mode", these errors are still reported. Reported-by: Tim <tim@stackwatch.net>
2013-01-07Correctly detect when SSL subsystem must be initializedAlexander Barton
This patch introduces the new function Conf_SSLInUse() to check when the current server configuration requires the SSL subsystem to be initialized and accounts incoming as well as outgoing connections -- so this fixes commit bb20aeb9 ("Initialize SSL when needed only, and disable SSL on errors") which only handled the inbound case ... Tested-by: Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>

* bug145-ProvideHelp: Use "${docdir}/Commands.txt" as help text file Add a note that "help file" is updated on startup and REHASH only Add doc/Commands.txt which should document all commands Implement Help() function parsing and returning the help text Document "HelpFile" in sample-ngircd.conf and ngircd.conf.5 Implement new configuration option "HelpFile" IRC_HELP(): Code cleanup Refactor Read_Motd() into Read_TextFile()

2013-01-01Add a note that "help file" is updated on startup and REHASH onlyAlexander Barton
2013-01-01Add doc/Commands.txt which should document all commandsAlexander Barton
This document can be used as "help text", too, see configuration option "HelpFile" in ngircd.conf(5). Please note that this file in its current state is far from complete, only a few commands are documented, but you should get an idea how it works. So please send in patches adding the remaining parts! :-)
2013-01-01Implement Help() function parsing and returning the help textAlexander Barton
This function parses the already read in help text and sends the requested portions to the user. Parsing is done as following when a user user issues a "HELP <cmd>" command: 1. Search the file for a line "- <cmd>", 2. Output all subsequent lines that start with a TAB (ASCII 9) character to the client using NOTICE commands, treat lines containing a single "." after the TAB as empty lines. 3. Break at the first line not starting with a TAB character. This format allows to have information to each command stored in this file which will not be sent to an IRC user requesting help which enables us to have additional annotations stored here which further describe the origin, implementation details, or limits of the specific command. A special "Intro" block is returned to the user when the HELP command is used without a command name.
2012-12-31Allow ERROR command on server and service links onlyAlexander Barton
Ignore it and add a penalty time on all other link types.
2012-12-31Document "HelpFile" in sample-ngircd.conf and ngircd.conf.5Alexander Barton
2012-12-31Implement new configuration option "HelpFile"Alexander Barton
This new configuration option allows to specify a specially formatted text file which can be used by the HELP command to provide information about the commands and their syntaxes.
2012-12-31IRC_HELP(): Code cleanupAlexander Barton
2012-12-31Refactor Read_Motd() into Read_TextFile()Alexander Barton
Now this function allows to read arbitrary text files into arrays.
2012-12-31Get rid of Conn_ResetPenalty(), it is unusedAlexander Barton
2012-12-31Mode setting: only check channel user modes when on channelAlexander Barton
Only check the channel user modes of the initiator if he is joined to this channel and not an IRC operator enforcing modes (which requires the configuration option "OperCanUseMode" to be enabled), because trying to check channel user modes of a non-member results in this assertion: Assertion failed: (cl2chan != NULL), function Channel_UserModes, file channel.c, line 742. This closes bug #147, thanks to James Kirwill <james.kirwill@bk.ru> for tracking this down!
2012-12-25Add some more casts in assert() statemensAlexander Barton
This fixes the following warning messages of gcc 4.5.3 on Cygwin when building with debug code enabled: ng_ipaddr.c: In function ‘ng_ipaddr_init’: ng_ipaddr.c:52:2: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions ng_ipaddr.c:53:20: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions resolve.c: In function ‘ForwardLookup’: resolve.c:271:3: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions
2012-12-25Makefiles: Correctly quote sed expressionsAlexander Barton
Now the Makefiles support spaces in "$sysconfdir", which isn't uncommon for Cygwin for example, when $HOME contains whitespaces ("/home/User Name") and ngIRCd is installed into the user home ("./configure --prefix=$HOME").
2012-12-25Add Cygwin binaries (*.exe) to .gitignore filesAlexander Barton
2012-12-25Add a cast in ForwardLookup() to fix a gcc warning on CygwinAlexander Barton
This fixes the following warning message of 4.5.3 on Cygwin: resolve.c: In function ‘ForwardLookup’: resolve.c:273:21: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

2012-12-10Allow user names up to 20 charactersAlexander Barton
This patch allows user names up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not been configured for "strict RFC mode". Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.

2012-11-24Rework cloaked hostname handling, implement "METADATA cloakhost"Alexander Barton
Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. And both fields can be set independently using the "METADATA host" and "METADATA cloakhost" commands. This allows "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.

2012-11-11irc-info.c: Use strlcpy() instead of strcpy()Alexander Barton

2012-11-11tool.h: Don't check for and #define PF_INETAlexander Barton
This is correctly handled by ipaddr/ng_ipaddr.h today, and the check in tool.h isn't required any more -- and caused errors on OpenBSD 5.0: In file included from ./../tool/tool.h:23: /usr/include/arpa/inet.h:74: warning: "struct in_addr" declared inside parameter list
2012-11-11conf-ssl.h: Use "gnutls_session_t" instead of "gnutls_session"Alexander Barton
This fixes the following warning with current versions of GnuTLS: conf-ssl.h:36: warning: "gnutls_session" is deprecated
2012-11-10Add new IRC+ server flag "X": "XOP modes supported"Alexander Barton
This flag indicates, that the server supports the enhanced "xop channel user modes", like channel owner, admin, and halfop. This information is used to make sure that no unsupported CHANINFO commands are sent to servers not supporting such mode prefixes, for example.
