ngIRCd 18
by Alexander Barton 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hi All! Finally, here it is: ngIRCd 18 has been released today! Since our 2nd release candidate, a preliminary protocol module for the upcoming Anope 1.9 services package has been added to our contrib/ directory, our documentation has been slightly updated, and no WHOWAS information will be leaked when disabling „MorePrivacy“ mode during runtime. Please see doc/Services.txt and contrib/Anope/README if you are interested in using ngIRCd 18 with the development branch 1.9.x of Anope IRC services! Latest tested release of Anope is 1.9.4, there is no guarantee that it will work with newer versions, because the 1.9 branch of Anope is under heavy development … Since release 17.1, there is quite a bit of new functionality with new configuration options like „MorePrivacy“, „ScrubCTCP“, „RequireAuthPing“, „ NoticeAuth“, „CloakHost“ and „CloakUserToNick“; a new channel mode „O“ („IRC Ops only“); support for ZeroConf service registration has been removed; and, quite prominent, the restructuring of the ngircd.conf configuration file. Please have a look at our GIT history or the NEWS and ChangeLog files for the whole story: - <http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/NEWS> - <http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/ChangeLog> And please DON’T FORGET TO READ the INSTALL text, it contains valuable upgrading information regarding the new structure of ngircd.conf: - <http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/INSTALL> You can find more information on our homepage at <http://ngircd.barton.de/> and its mirror <http://ngircd.berlios.de/>. Our primary download locations are: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <http://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> I hope you enjoy this new release – have fun! Regards Alex

ScrubCTCP and MorePrivacy patches
by Alexander Barton 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

Hi all! It's me again ;-) I looked into the "ScrubCTCP" and "MorePrivacy" patches of xor (thanks BTW!), and applied them (only slightly modified and adopted to my "newconfig" work) into two branches in my own ngIRCd development repository: ScrubCTCP is here: <https://arthur.barton.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ngircd-alex.git;a=shortlog;h=…> And MorePrivacy here: <https://arthur.barton.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ngircd-alex.git;a=shortlog;h=…> What do you think? xor, do you agree with my changes? I would include both branches in our next release -- no? Regards Alex

sudo nick command for IRC operators
by Rich Griese 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

This might exist, but perhaps someone can send me the exact command. I am looking for a command that IRC operators can use that would change another users nickname. Something like; /sudo nick Guest849 peter If this exists could someone send me the syntax? I am running a small IRC network that I use on my website as a simple way for people to contact me real time. The initial page uses a mibbit web interface that asks people to start by entering their nickname, but you would be amazed at how many people just click through with the Guest??? nick. And then... the first thing they will say is "Rich, it's peter". At that point I it would be great for me for me to be able to change their nickname for them instead of telling them how to change their nick themselves. Cheers! RichGriese(a)gmail.com
