Hi all, I have compiled ngircd as per the usual steps, everything does work, except the most crucial bit for me - SSL. This is what it shows during debug: [root@feisty ngircd-20.3]# /usr/local/sbin/ngircd -n [26473:5 0] ngIRCd 21~19-g444308c-IRCPLUS+SSL+SYSLOG+ZLIB-x86_64/unknown/linux-gnu started.

ngIRCd 21 with Open Watcom 1.9: fails to complete autoconf
by Götz Hoffart 06 Dez '13

06 Dez '13

Hi, I'm having problems compiling ngIRCd 21 with Open Watcom 1.9. I’ve gotten so far that the compiler is recognized and accepted by autoconf 2.67 [1], but it fails shortly after that: <https://s1.hoffart.de/temp/ngircd-21-on-watcom.txt> I searched for the given error message, but it seems to be known since 2003 and a lot of different explanations, not necessarily Watcom-related. Should I search for Open Watcom specific problems or should I stay here with that problem?

Patch submission
by Matt Pepe 03 Dez '13

03 Dez '13

Hello, A couple of months ago, I started searching for a well-maintained IRC server that I could use as a basis for internal use at my organization. We are fairly security-conscious and we needed a solid server that supported SSL and PAM authentication. So, first - thanks for the great work you all are doing. We had a couple of other requirements, especially if we were going to expose the port on an externally-accessible address. The first was to allow only authorized connections from clients who presented a valid SSL certificate. This is the first half of the patch. If linked with GNUTLS, the patch will allow the admin to limit connections to clients that present a valid cert, signed by a valid CA in the server cert's chain of trust. It also supports revocation lists. Second is the addition of a new caching process called authcache. We wire up authentication through PAM and on to an one-time password infrastructure. We chose to do this since IRC clients don't bother trying to keep that password protected... at all.. It is even written to the client's history files in many cases. To shorten the window of opportunity for exposed credentials, the user enters an OTP when authenticating. Naturally, with the manner and frequency in which IRC clients disconnect and reconnect, entering credentials repeatedly would be infuriating (and impossible with most clients.) Authcache will create a token from the hash of the original IRC name, source connection hostname/address, and if SSL is enabled, the client certificate's hash, and store it in a table for a user-configurable amount of time. This table is consulted when a new connection is made and bypasses the internal authentication step if a record is found. A user or admin directed logoff will clear the connection's entry. Known issues... 1. Requires GNUTLS 3.x. I chose to use newer methods for CRL and verification checks. I would like to figure out what version of GNUTLS is installed and call the appropriate methods, but this leads me into the next item... 2. Lack of good Autoconf checks. As noted above, it requires GNUTLS 3.x. I am sadly not familiar enough with autoconf to put together a robust means of testing for that. 3. I have not yet written an equivalent CRL and Client cert check for libssl. 4. No changes to your unit tests. I hang my head in shame... I know there are a few items in that list that are solvable after some research and fiddling (autoconf, libssl). I haven't had a chance to fix those items yet - I hope to at some point, but who knows when. As you can tell by the dates in the patchfile, I've been sitting on the changes for a bit, hoping for time to get autoconf sorted out. Its been months, so I figured I'd put the patches out there in case they are useful in this configuration. Again, thanks for an awesome server - I hope you find these patches as useful as I have. - Matt
