Hi!
I wrote a small patch that allows you to specify a file in the config
containing forbidden nicks.
This may be useful to disallow users changing their nicks to NickServ
or ChanServ or any other nick.

Fabian
Hello!
After releasing ngIRCd 0.10.4, which is "only" a bug-fix release, we
are going to release our new "major release" 0.11.0 containing new
features: the most prominent is the introduction of the
"MaxNickLength" configuration option, which enables administrators to
define the maxmimum nick name length dynamically.
As usual, ngIRCd 0.11.0 can be downloaded from:
<ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.11.0.tar.gz>
<ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.11.0.tar.gz>
GnuPG signatures and a patch from 0.10.4 are available and can be
downloaded from here:
<ftp://ngircd.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/>
<ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/>
The 0.11.x branch is tagged as "branch-0-11-x" in CVS, and this
release is tagged as "rel-0-11-0".
The NEWS file of ngIRCd 0.11.0 lists the following enhancements:
- Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
- New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
the source ip adress to use when connecting to remote server.
- New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed
length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
- Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
- Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks
to disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to
ngircd, but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
- Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
operators.
You can view the complete NEWS and ChangeLog files online here:

There have been no changes since ngIRCd 0.11.0-pre2.
Have fun!

Hello,
crawling through the sources and the bug tracker, I tried to solve
BUG 70.
As this is my first patch (and I'm not that good in programming C) I
hope I
did not make too many mistakes.
The patch was tested on a local ngircd instance (MacOS X 10.4.11) and is
attached to this mail.
I haven't found any specific conditions for a user to be able to
NOTICE a channel
in the RFC's, so I assumed that they are the same as used for
PRIVMSG, is this correct?
Regards,
Fabian
