nick length is too short, how to change this?
by Lucian 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

Hello, I have a few users very unhappy with the maximum nickname length value so i tried to change it (failing miserably); i modified some .h file in the source code where i thought the nickname length was defined but the server still won't accept nicknames longer than 9 characters - I'm no coder. What can I do now? Please help!

ngIRCd 0.8.0
by Alexander Barton 03 Jul '04

Hello all! This is the missing announcement for ngIRCd 0.8.0, released June 26th 2004. Sorry for the delay! Changes since 0.7.7 are: - Fixed wrong buffer size calculation for results of the resolver. ngircd 0.8.0-pre2 (2004-05-16) - Enhanced logging to console when running in "no-detached mode": added PID and log messages of resolver sub-processes. - Fixed host name lookups when using IDENT user lookups. - "make clean" and "make maintainer-clean" remove more files mow. ngIRCd 0.8.0-pre1 (2004-05-07) - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to Benjamin Pineau <ben(a)zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail". - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well. - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts. - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously when closing down connections. - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib. - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined. - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last parameter has been added. - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info. - Results of the resolver (hostnames and IDENT names) are discarded after the client is successfully registered with the server. - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections. - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now. - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest". - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident". The default is not to do IDENT lookups. You can download ngIRCd 0.8.0 (~ KB) from: - <http://download.berlios.de/ngircd/ngircd-0.8.0.tar.gz> - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.8.0.tar.gz> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.8.0.tar.gz> And the patch from 0.7.7 to 0.8.0 (~ KB) as well as GnuPG signatures can be found here: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/> Have fun!
