2013-02-04New configuration option "IdleTimeout": exit daemon when idleAlexander Barton
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.

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").

2012-09-25New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp"DNS777
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. (Cosmetic fixes by Alex.)
2012-09-15Make our own targets "silent", if enabledAlexander Barton
2012-08-26Enhance "ServiceMask" to handle a list of masksAlexander Barton
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).
2012-08-03Hashed hostnames for CloakHostSebastian Köhler
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.
2012-08-03Implemented hashed cloaked hostnames for +xSebastian Köhler
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
2012-06-09Describe "CloakHostModeX" in sample-ngircd.conf an ngircd.conf(5)Alexander Barton

2012-01-01New configuration option "PAMIsOptional"Alexander Barton
When "PAMIsOptional" is set, clients not sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied user name.

2011-06-25New configuration opion "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user informationxor
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.

2011-03-19Add a note not to use a percent sign ("%") in CloakHost variableAlexander Barton
The percent sign is reserved for future extensions, for example to expand some variables like %H to a hash value of the real host name ... Idea by kaFux in #ngircd.

2011-01-09conf: move 'run-time-feature-disable' options to new FEATURE sectionFlorian Westphal
2011-01-09config: deprecate NoXX-OptionsFlorian Westphal
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....

2010-10-11New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable ZeroConf registrationAlexander Barton
If ngIRCd is compiled to register its services using ZeroConf (e.g. using Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X) this parameter can be used to disable service registration at runtime.
2010-09-24New configuration option "SyslogFacility"Alexander Barton
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.
2010-08-12ngircd: change MOTD file handlingFlorian Westphal
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)
2010-07-13New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAMAlexander Barton
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.
2010-02-11Implement WEBIRC commandAlexander Barton
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).

2009-09-30New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper"Alexander Barton
Added new configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" to control whether remote IRC operators are allowed to use administrative commands that affect this server or not This commit introduces the configuration variable, but actually no function is using it. That's up for the next patches to come ...
2009-08-31do not add default listening port if ssl ports were specifiedFlorian Westphal
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.
