2019-07-21Fix some typos (documentation files, ngircd.conf manual page, ...)Alexander Barton
Spotted by Étienne Mollier <etienne.mollier@mailoo.org> and Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>, see Debian bug #932462 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=932462). Thank you!
2019-01-28ngircd.conf.5: Fix wording as suggested by lintianChristoph Biedl
2019-01-03Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length (#254)shankari
The max length is actually 126 (< 127), since the check errors out if length >= 127. See <https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/blob/master/src/ngircd/conf.c#L1487>. 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.

2018-11-28Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime" (#251)Alexander Barton
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.

2017-01-07ngircd.conf.5.tmpl: Fix spellingAlexander Barton
Thanks to Christoph Biedl.
2016-06-05Add PAMServiceName setting to specify the used PAM configurationChristian Aistleitner
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`.
2016-01-04Update copyright notices for 2016Alexander Barton
2015-08-01Merge pull request #217 from SaberUK/master+notice-authAlexander Barton
Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH".
2015-07-19Streamline ".gitignore" filesAlexander Barton
2015-07-14Rename NoticeAuth to NoticeBeforeRegistration.Peter Powell
The old name is still supported for compatibility reasons.
2015-07-14Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH".Peter Powell
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.
2015-05-15Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloadUserToNick" hides user and real nameAlexander Barton
Closes #208.
2015-05-13Streamline effect of "MorePrivacy" option (WHOIS, LIST)Alexander Barton
- Update documentation in ngircd.conf(5) - LIST: Don't hide channels for IRC Ops when "MorePrivacy" is in effect - WHOIS: Don't hide IP addresses/hostnames when "MorePrivacy" is in effect Closes #198
2014-10-16Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by defaultAlexander Barton
Idea, initial patch, and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>
2014-03-18Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modesAlexander Barton
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.
2014-01-19ngircd.conf.5: Update manual pageAlexander Barton
2013-12-27Implement new configuration option "Network"Alexander Barton
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.
2013-10-07Update (date of) manual pagesAlexander Barton
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.
