Atheme services and XOP
by David Woodfall 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

I seem to be having problems with certain modules in Atheme, which are connected to XOP. Is there anything I need to set in the ngircd.conf to turn on XOP? [28/12/2012 17:58:48] atheme 7.0.5 is starting up... [28/12/2012 17:58:48] Module chanserv/owner requires owner support, refusing to load.

ngircd-19.2 to ngircd-20 upgrade produces "Bad server password" for all connecting clients
by lists＠packetmail.net 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hello, After updating to ngircd-20 from ngircd-19.2 with the same build options, all connecting clients are rejected with "Bad server password". The configuration file remained unchanged between the ngircd-20 upgrade. Am I missing something obvious? The server password is made of [0-9A-Za-z\x5e]{22} ngircd-20 was compiled with the same flags as ngircd-19.2: ./configure --enable-ipv6 --with-openssl CFLAGS="-Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2 -fPIE -pie -fstack-protector" Syslog support: yes Enable debug code: no zlib compression: yes IRC sniffer: no Use TCP Wrappers: no Strict RFC mode: no IDENT support: no IRC+ protocol: yes IPv6 protocol: yes I/O backend: "epoll(), select()" PAM support: no SSL support: openssl libiconv support: no No errors or oddities are reported in /var/log/syslog and the start-up looks to be normal. Revering to 19.2 restores connectivity despite the "password too long" warning. Dec 19 09:00:20 localhost ngircd[1906]: /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf, line 33: Value of "Password" too long!

ngIRCd 20
by Alexander Barton 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hi All! Finally, after two release candidates, the final version of ngIRCd 20 has been published! Yiiiha! Thanks a lot to all contributors, testers, and otherwiese involved people! Since the last release candidate only a single change has been made: now ngIRCd supports user names ("IDENT names") up to 19 characters length: this can be useful if you want to authenticate your users to some "external" data sources that are already using longer user names than the formerly supported 9 characters. You can read the full ChangeLog and NEWS files online, and it is included in out source distribution archives, of course: • <http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/NEWS> • <http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/ChangeLog> More information can be found on the homepage <http://ngircd.barton.de/> and its mirror <http://ngircd.berlios.de/>. The primary download locations are: • <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> • <http://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> And as always: please report any bugs, problems, and regressions to this mailing list or directly using the bug tracker. Or connect to the "official" IRC channel #ngircd on irc.barton.de: <irc://irc.barton.de/ngircd> – thanks! Regards Alex

ngIRCd 20~rc2
by Alexander Barton 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Hi All! After ngIRCd 20~rc1 a few weeks ago, I just released the second release candidate, ngIRCd 20~rc2. There have been a few fixes and one "feature enhancement" since the first release candidate, see the ChangeLog: • Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost" subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands. • RPL_UMODEIS: send correct target name, even on server links. • Update platformtest.sh to follow autoconf changes and only generate the "configure" script when it is missing. • Fix the test suite to correctly execute test scripts even when stdout is redirected. • Fix some compiler warnings on NetBSD and OpenBSD. You can find more information on our homepage at <http://ngircd.barton.de/> and its mirror <http://ngircd.berlios.de/>. The primary download locations are: • <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> • <http://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> Please test this release candidate and report any problems and bugs you encounter, either to this list, the #ngircd channel on irc.barton.de (<irc://irc.barton.de/#ngircd>), or our bug tracker: • <http://ngircd.barton.de/bugzilla/> Thanks! Alex
