2013-09-17Change cipher defaultsFederico G. Schwindt
Switch cipher defaults to HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH (OpenSSL) or SECURE128 (GnuTLS).
2013-09-15Cipher list selection for GnuTLSAlexander Barton
This patch implements the missing functionality for cipher list selection using GnuTLS (our OpenSSL code has this already).
2013-09-15Cipher list selection for OpenSSLAlexander Barton
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.
2013-08-26Implement new configuration option "DefaultUserModes"Alexander Barton
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.
2013-08-04Implement new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes"Alexander Barton
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.
2013-07-17Slightly update ngircd.8 manual pageAlexander Barton
2013-05-24Implement new configuration option "IncludeDir"Alexander Barton
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.
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.
2013-01-01Add a note that "help file" is updated on startup and REHASH onlyAlexander Barton
2012-12-31Document "HelpFile" in sample-ngircd.conf and ngircd.conf.5Alexander Barton
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").
2012-11-02Spelling fix: "nick name" -> "nickname"Alexander Barton
2012-10-28Document new configuration option "MaxListSize"Alexander Barton
2012-10-09Update manual pagesAlexander Barton
Among other little things, bring project description in line with website.
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
2012-03-12Fix manual page "hyphen-used-as-minus-sign" error (lintian)Alexander Barton
Thanks to Christoph Biedl for reporting this!
2012-01-01ngircd.conf.5: reword description of "Ports" variableAlexander 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.

2011-06-25Add documentation for "ScrubCTCP" configuration optionxor
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.
2011-03-19Rename ClientHost to CloakHost, and ClientUserNick to CloakUserToNickAlexander Barton

2011-01-09Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registrationAlexander Barton
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.
