strlcpy() is broken
by Florian Westphal 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

Hi, the strlcpy() included with ngircd is broken. It will always return values smaller than the specified buffer length. This is very bad because you can no longer tell if truncation occured by looking at the return value (hence, the truncation checks in ngircd won't work if the included strlcpy is used). Trivial patch is attached. Florian

[Patch] Write Daemon Pid to file
by Florian Westphal 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Attached is a small patch to NGIRCd CVS that writes the daemons pid to a file (Default: /var/run/ngircd/ngircd.pid). The pidfile can be changed via the -P <pidfile> or --pidfile <pidfile> options. The getpid.sh script included with ngircd does not work on FreeBSD 5.3-Stable (ps needs -ax switches). Also, the sample configuration file says 'one port, separated with ";"' ( the given example uses the correct "," seperator). Thanks, Florian

Problem connecting ngircd to irc-2.10.3p5 due to passwd length limits
by Florian Westphal 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hello, I am currently configuring a connection between ngircd 0.8.1 and a machine running irc 2.10.3p5. This failed at first because ngircd restricts passwords to 8 characters in length. I took a quick glance at RFC 1459, but i couldnt find any specification of a maximum password length, so I bumped CLIENT_PASS_LEN to 17 in src/ngircd/defines.h . Is there a particular reason why it is restricted to 8? (Or why it was chosen in the first place?) Thanks, Florian

Memleak in New_Connection()
by Florian Westphal 17 Jan '05

17 Jan '05

Hi, there seems to be a memory leak in New_Connection() (src/ngircd/conn.c), line 1044: 1018 ptr = (POINTER *)realloc( My_Connections, sizeof( CONNECTION ) * new_size ); 1019 if( ! ptr ) 1020 { 1021 /* realloc() ist fehlgeschlagen. Nun malloc() probieren: */ 1022 ptr = (POINTER *)malloc( sizeof( CONNECTION ) * new_size ); 1023 if( ! ptr ) 1024 { 1025 /* Offenbar steht kein weiterer Sepeicher zur Verfuegung :-( */ 1026 Log( LOG_EMERG, "Can't allocate memory! [New_Connection]" ); 1027 Simple_Message( new_sock, "ERROR: Internal error" ); 1028 close( new_sock ); 1029 return; 1030 } 1031 1032 /* Struktur umkopieren ... */ 1033 memcpy( ptr, My_Connections, sizeof( CONNECTION ) * Pool_Size ); [..] Debug ommitted... 1038 } 1043 /* Adjust pointer to new block */ 1044 My_Connections = (CONNECTION *)ptr; "My_Connections" gets overwritten, without calling free(). For the sake of simplicity I'd rather remove the malloc() call altogether. The attached patch does just that. Florian

Printing the number of connected users to a file
by Jens Kleine 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi, I like to have a "there are x users on our IRC server" message on our website. Maybe there are others out there who might want to do the same, that's why I'm writing this mail. Till now I used php: $sock = fsockopen("localhost", 6667); fputs($sock, "nick IdleTest\r"); fputs($sock, "user idle . . :Idle-Test\r"); $result = fgets($sock, 4096); $result = fgets($sock, 4096); $result = fgets($sock, 4096); $result = fgets($sock, 4096); $result = fgets($sock, 4096); $result = fgets($sock, 4096); $n = sscanf($result, ":irc.server.url %d IdleTest :There are %d users %s", &$comid, &$users, &$rest); fputs($sock, "quit\r"); fclose($sock); $users--; //subtract the telnet connection echo "There are $users users on our IRC server"; It works but I found this solution unsatisfying so I changed the ngircd code and recompiled. I added/changed after line 365 BOOLEAN timeout; int alte_anz = -1; int anz_user = 0; FILE * fp_users; start = time( NULL ); while(( ! NGIRCd_SignalQuit ) && ( ! NGIRCd_SignalRestart )) { anz_user = Client_UserCount(); if(anz_user != alte_anz) { fp_users = fopen("/srv/www/htdocs/chat/chat.users", "w"); if(fp_users != NULL) { fprintf(fp_users, "%i\n", anz_user); fclose(fp_users); } alte_anz = anz_user; } timeout = TRUE; ... in conn.c after Check_Connections( ); so it will constantly write the number of users on the server to a file (in this case a file in the web directory) when the number changes. All the changes are between the timeout variable so you can easily find them. If you need more flexibility you could make the filename (and the whole piece of code) an additional option (I found no fitting free character for it (maybe -u filename?) and don't need the flexibility). BTW: Why is there --version and --help but not -v and -h? Hope you like it/can need it too. Yours, Jens

Problem with host resolving with ngircd
by Martin Hasenbein 26 Okt '04

26 Okt '04

Hi Everybody, I have a little problem with my resolving. My irc-server ran perfect the last few weeks, but yesterday I upgraded my BIND to 9.3.0 and today morning I recognized, that hosts are no longer resolved. Its just eg. mh(a)193.149.36.81 ... I'm really stuck right now. Upgrading my dns was the only thing I have done (the last time). Resolving itsself works fine (dig, rbl-lookups ...). ngircd seems to be the only daemon, that can't resolve anymore ... Any ideas are really appreciated!!! Thanks!

Copy & Paste flood protection?
by Khanh 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hi everyone, If I copy & paste 339 lines fo text, for example, I get disconnected with the following err msg from mIRC: * Send error ([10053] Software caused connection abort) With the IRCII daemon, there is a line in config.h where one define a limit (CLIENT_FLOOD). Unfortunately, the max byte count is 8000 and 339 lines of text is about 13000. How can I disable flood protection in ngircd? If this is not possible, any other daemons that will allow me to do so?

Problem with ngircd-0.8.0 and IDENT

Hi everybody, I just installed ngircd and it really runs fine. Just as I like it :-) But I ran into some trouble, when I tried to activate IDENT. My system is a FreeBSD 4.10. If I try to install from the port or from source, I get the following error (right now from port): $ make -DWITH_IDENT install clean [..snipp..] checking for ident_id in -lident... no checking for ident_id... no configure: error: Can't enable IDENT support! ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly. Any ideas, why this happens? I already googled, but with no success. Thank you.

nick length is too short, how to change this?

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.

ngIRCd 0.8.0
by Alexander Barton 03 Jul '04

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!

Configuring Channel Key with Persistent Channels

All - I am trying to configure persistent channels with keys, but can't seem to figure out the proper syntax in the Modes section of the ngircd.conf.

oper commands and stuff

Hi there, Alex and the rest of you this proggy is really cool, lighweight and flawless (well..), i am delighted BUT, i am kinda newbie to this thing and i was wondering if there's a place where i can read about the commands i can issue as an ircop/irc admin on ngircd. i also have a small problem with the [Channel] section, it seems i can only define one channel although i added two more [Channel]'s ngircd ignores them.. any idea? i am sure the syntax is correct (are you sure there's no [/Channel] tag?) :-) Another thing: could i specify a number of joins for a host only? i would like to use Eggdrop as a pseudo-chanservices but with what i know till now that would mean to set the max joins to unlimited.. which is quite crappy. Thanks in advance. keep up the good job!

ngIRCd 0.7.7
by Alexander Barton 05 Feb '04

Hello! ngIRCd 0.7.7 is out right now! Changes since 0.7.6: - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason: the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users. - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany(a)mcnet.ad.jp>! - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.

IRC Services

Hi ! I would like to know if there are compatible services for ngIRCd, but if there are none, I'd like to develop them (nickserv, chanserv, ...) So I'd like to know if it's possible to catch events like channel joins (even if the service is not on the channel), connexions to the server and other stuff from a simple irc "client" (which would be the service) I hope you'll understand my bad bad english ;) Thank you xalp

Re: [ngIRCd-ML] (no subject)

Hi Renato! > Actually, there is 2 passwords to set in the main configuration file: the Global one and the server one. If i well understood the documentation available with the sources - > not-so-friendly-must-admit-as-almost-any-rfc-use-to-be - and also in the well-commented ngircd config file, the GLOBAL password is required to make any connection by any user, and the SERVER password is required for...? Administration of the server? How does it is made? The is "password" in the [global] section which configures a password that every user connecting to this server must supply. If not, the connection is denied. When leaving this variable empty (the default) the server does not require a user password. The second password you can define is an operator password in an [operator] section: an user can become IRC operator using the OPER command. This command requires a name and a password which are defined in the server configuration file. Please note two things: a) the "name" has nothing to do with the nick name of the user issuing the OPER command and b) you can define more than one IRC operator. Finally, the third and fourth password is used for server-server-links when you are running an "server network"; these passwords are configured in a [server] section: when establishing an server-link, "PeerPassword" is sent to the foreign server and "MyPassword" must match the password which is received of the remote server: local server A remote server B PeerPassword ------> MyPassword MyPassword <-------- PeerPassword A sends "PeerPassword" to B. B checks if the received password equals its "MyPassword" and -- if so -- sends its "PeerPassword" back to A. Now A checks if the received password equals its "MyPassword". The server-link is only established when both password pairs match. > Second question: to make a new "Channel" available, what is the command (telnet or xchat) to fire? JOIN #channel > With the operation of a "join" command the > Channel is created - it is not possible at this moment at least in this server to deploy a new Channel via config file. Is a Channel a persistent thing? Or it dies as soon as the server is down /restarted? Classical IRC channels are not persistent at all: they are created when the first user joins and destroyed when the last user parts. A channel can't exist without at least one user in it. But the ngIRCd introduces a new channel mode "P" to declare a channel to be persistent: such a channel does exist even without users joined to it. IRC operators can toggle this channel mode using the MODE command. And you can pre-define persistent channels using [channel] sections in the configuration file (see doc/sample-ngircd.conf). > Last: Please point me any available documentation to admin the new server - i'm feeling very unconfortable with my few irc knowledge level at this moment. Hm, perhaps <http://irchelp.org/> would be a good starting point ... > ps.: Excuses for my bad English - if any. My $LOCALE is pt_br...

Good day, I must confess i'm a total newbee with irc daemons, and never started to admin any other before ngircd, so, please don't shoot too fast. I'm running linux 2.6.1 and ngircd v. 0.7.6 - stable. Actually, there is 2 passwords to set in the main configuration file: the Global one and the server one. If i well understood the documentation available with the sources - not-so-friendly-must-admit-as-almost-any-rfc-use-to-be - and also in the well-commented ngircd config file, the GLOBAL password is required to make any connection by any user, and the SERVER password is required for...? Administration of the server? How does it is made? Second question: to make a new "Channel" available, what is the command (telnet or xchat) to fire? With the operation of a "join" command the Channel is created - it is not possible at this moment at least in this server to deploy a new Channel via config file. Is a Channel a persistent thing? Or it dies as soon as the server is down /restarted? Last: Please point me any available documentation to admin the new server - i'm feeling very unconfortable with my few irc knowledge level at this moment. ps.: Excuses for my bad English - if any.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, there, one question: as far as I understood, the ngIRCd should connect to the next server in one group, in case the first doesn't answer?

ngIRCd 0.7.5
by Alexander Barton 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

Hello world! Here it is, a new release of ngIRCd: 0.7.5 Changes since 0.7.1 are: - Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47). - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that require more resources block the client for a short time. - Changed the internal time resolution to one second. - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept. This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP. - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3. - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-) - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening sockets of the server to a single IP address. - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run. - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd. - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-) It's available from (~261 KB): - <http://download.berlios.de/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.5.tar.gz> - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.5.tar.gz> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.5.tar.gz> The patch from 0.7.1 to 0.7.5 (~17 KB) and GnuPG signatures: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/> Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

US Stock Market: AZAA - Military Aircraft Related Stock...alisa
by Lynnette Conklin 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

US Stock Market - UP On the NEWS...AZAA BREAKING NEWS - TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arizona Aircraft Spares, Inc. (OTCBB: AZAA) - one of the leading military aircraft spare parts manufacturers - announces it has signed a letter of commitment with Wolfe and Turner Investments to obtain a 6 million dollar non-equity asset-backed loan. The loan would have a ten-year term with a 25-year amortization schedule. AZAA is currently completing the due diligence phase and anticipates that funding will occur prior to December 1, 2003. Despite the current boost in government military spending, aircraft used by the US Air Force and other armed forces are now older than ever23 years on average. B-52's are older than their pilots, with no plans to build new bombers for the next 10 years. Result: Aging aircraft require ever-increasing amounts of expensive maintenance, repairs and replacement parts. Arizona Aircraft Spares' market potential is measured in billions of dollars. The company works directly with the U.S. Government and other international world governments. The proposed U.S. military budget alone is 399.1 billion-dollars, of which twenty-five percent is allocated for spare parts and ground support systems. Arizona Aircraft Spares focuses exclusively on manufacturing military aircraft spare parts. The majority of the company's business comes from the U.S. Government the Army, Navy and Air Force branches of the U.S. Military. Working with the U.S. Military represents the least cash intensive growth strategy for the company, as the government systematically pays within 30 days after the company has shipped the product. Furthermore, Arizona Aircraft Spares is eligible for the Progressive Payment program whereby the company can collect upwards of 80% of the contract's total value prior to completion of the contract. AZAA has worked with over 20 international governments and continues to maintain international clients apart from the U.S. Government. All other orders are required to put an upfront deposit on all contracts awarded. Arizona Aircraft Spares as a public company can take full advantage of the opportunities in the international markets with enhanced liquidity to execute larger international projects. Arizona Aircraft Spares, Inc. works primarily with the U.S. Government, focusing exclusively on the Army, Navy and Air Force branches of the U.S. Military as well as foreign ally countries. The company receives its contracts from the Department of Defense Logistics Services located in either Richmond, Virginia or Columbus, Ohio. These two sites represent the central purchasing group for U.S. Government military contracts, and the point of origin for all U.S. military bids and contracts. On average, Arizona Aircraft Spares receives over 600 requests to bid on US. military spare parts every week. Occasionally, Arizona Aircraft Spares receives orders from other U.S. Government Prime Contractors, such as Boeing and Northrop Grumman. This typically happens in situations when these companies surmise that Arizona Aircraft Spares can provide the spare parts at a better cost efficiency than them.

OPER-command not working?
by Thomas Seifert 20 Okt '03

20 Okt '03

Hey folks, we are trying to setup ngircd for a support-channel and its working fine so far. That was the easiest configuration of all irc-daemons I could find yet :-). We were even able to link two servers in a minute. Just the following problem arises now, I configured an operator in the config-file. I read in the archives that I should use "/OPER user secret" to activate it. But it tells me "Unknown command: oper", any hint what I may have done wrong? Can't I enter that once I am in a channel? Thanks in advance, Thomas

CVS-HEAD/branch-0-7-x: fixed mode propagation bug in NJOIN
by Alexander Barton 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hi all! I fixed up a mode propagation problem in the IRC_NJOIN() function that caused the server to not propagate user channel modes to other servers correctly under certain circumstances (networks with more than two levels of server nesting). These fixes are in CVS HEAD and branch-0-7-x: - Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/"). - Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions. - NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa. If branch-0-7-x seems to be stable this will become version 0.7.1 at the end of this week. Additionally CVS-HEAD includes these changes (since 0.7.0): - Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j<n>". - Added support for GNU/Hurd. - Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert(). Perhaps these will go into 0.7.1, too ... Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

Hi! ngIRCd 0.7.0 is out :-) You can download it from the following places (~250 KB): - <http://download.berlios.de/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.0.tar.gz> - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.0.tar.gz> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.0.tar.gz> Patches from 0.6.1 and GnuPG signatures are available, too: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/> Please have a look into the INSTALL file when upgrading! Some configuration options changed since 0.6.1 ... This is the complete ChangeLog since ngIRCd 0.6.1: ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01) - "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required. - The KILL comand verifies and logs more parameters. ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27) - CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable). - Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6). - New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of ngIRCd on the various tested platforms. - Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case. - Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible. - The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or socket failures occured. - Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password". ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22) - New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside). - GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled. - Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h). - If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that can't occur during normal operation so there is something broken. - The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-) - Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and removing servers during runtime works more reliable now. - Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]" - Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]". - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>" to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!). - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers. - Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The german documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer). - Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision. - Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding. - Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool". - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment). - New command HELP that lists all understood commands. - There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS) if an outgoing server link can't be established. - Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility. - Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly. - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure. - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to configure to enable it. - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib", "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous". - Better error reporting to clients on connect. - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5). - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd. - Enhanced hanling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions.

Roadmap?
by Alexander Barton 09 Mär '03

09 Mär '03

Hi all! I want to release ngIRCd 0.7.0 really soon, because there are lots of enhancements and fixes in CVS-HEAD which are too "complex" to backport to the 0.6.x branch. Only exception: the connection closing bug (see my other mail to this list). If it fixes the problem, I probably should release version 0.6.2 as new "stable" release before 0.7.0. So whats left for 0.7.0? At least the documentation should be complete and completely in english. Some files in doc/ still need to be translated. And I'm unsure about the "old" german documentation in doc/de/: it's too much work for me to maintain _both_ the english and the german files, therefore there are two possibilities: a) someone out there wants to maintain the german documentation (then mail me or the list, please!) or b) I'll kick it. And what about the stability of recent CVS-HEAD versions (nightly builds)? My test servers here run stable, but they don't have heavy load ... There is (at least) one feature left I want to add before 0.7.0: "server redirects". This means that a ngircd can notify the client that it can't accept its connection and redirect the client to another server using the 005 numeric (RPL_BOUNCE) as defined in RFC 2812. Okay, so what did I forget? Comments? Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany alex(a)barton.de, http://www.barton.de/

CVS-HEAD: TCP Wrappers, Changed configure options
by Alexander Barton 07 Mär '03

07 Mär '03

Hi! Changes to CVS-HEAD: - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to configure to enable it. - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix insetead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib", "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous". Please use "./configure --help" to review the full list of possible configure options. And don't forget to add something like "ngircd : 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0" to your /etc/hosts.allow file when using "--with-tcp-wrappers"! ;-)) Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

CVS-HEAD: Support for Rendezvous
by Alexander Barton 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hi all! New in CVS-HEAD: - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the new switch "--enable-rendezvous" to configure. The actual code only works with Mac OS X 10.2 and above (probably actual Darwin distributions work as well). It registers all ports ngIRCd is listening on as "_ircu._tcp." in the default domain using Apples multicast DNS API. See <http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/rendezvous/> for further details about Apples implementation. At the moment this functionality is quite useless, but perhaps sometimes in the future IRC clients will support Rendezvous as well!? Would be handy in LANs, I think. So we are prepared ;-)) If somebody is aware of multicast DNS daemons on other platforms, please let me know!

ngIRCd 0.6.1
by Alexander Barton 21 Jan '03

21 Jan '03

Hi all! I released ngIRCd 0.6.1 a few minutes ago: - Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more, ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you can kill only valid users now. - The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now. - WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested. - The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0). - Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits are syncronized between servers now, too. - MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now. - Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change its modes or modes of its members. - The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd. You can download it as usual from: - <http://download.berlios.de/ngircd/ngircd-0.6.1.tar.gz> - <ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.6.1.tar.gz> Enjoy!

CVS HEAD: New commands CONNECT and DISCONNECT
by Alexander Barton 31 Dez '02

31 Dez '02

Hi! I added these changes to CVS-HEAD since the release of 0.6.0: - New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside). - GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled. - Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h). - Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more, ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you can kill only valid users now. - If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that can't occure during normal operation so there is something broken. - The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-) - Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and removing servers during runtime works more reliable now. - Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]" - Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]". - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>" to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!). - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers. Regards Alex PS.: ngIRCd celebrates its first anniversary today, I released version 0.0.1 2001/12/31. When I started coding it?

ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1
by Alexander Barton 23 Dez '02

23 Dez '02

Hello! I just prepared ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1. If this version seems to be stable and no more bugs are found I'll release it as version 0.6.0 "these days". ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1 contains all enhancements and fixes from CVS-HEAD. The new CVS branch has the tag "branch-0.6.x". Use "cvs up -d -P -r branch-0-6-x" to switch an existing CVS tree to this branch. Changes since 0.5.4 (sorry, in german): - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an. - der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den Resolver (4 Sekunden), wenn das Ergebnis eintrifft setzt er aber den Login sofort fort (bisher wurde immer mind. 1 Sekunde gewartet). - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert. - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sektion "Global") kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden. Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert". - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren). - Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst. - unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED. - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asyncronen Passwoertern, d.h. das Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server", wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt. - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird. - Channel-Mode "P" ("persistent") kann nur noch von IRC-Operatoren gesetzt werden. Grund: User koennen den Server sonst leicht "Channel-Flooden". - MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden. - IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert. - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren. - Handling der Schreibpuffer umgestellt: Server sollte schneller arbeiten. - Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl). - SQUIT wird nicht mehr doppelt an andere Server weitergeleitet. - Der Server versucht nun vor dem Schliessen einer Verbindung Daten, die noch im Schreibpuffer stehen, zu senden. - Source in weiteres Modul "irc-info" aufgespalten. - Konfigurationsvariablen werden besser validiert: Laengen, Zahlen, ... - neuen Befehl STATS begonnen: bisher unterstuetzt wird "l" und "m". - bei ISON und USERHOST fehlte im Ergebnis-String der korrekte Absender. - IRC Operatoren koennen nun mit KILL User toeten. Achtung: ein Grund muss zwingend als zweiter Parameter angegeben werden! - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden. - neuer, deutlich flexiblerer Parser fuer den MODE Befehl. - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert. Download: - <ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.5.3-pre1.tar.gz> Patch from 0.5.4 to 0.6.0-pre1: - <ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.5.4-0.6.0- pre1.patch.gz> Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

CVS-HEAD: New channel modes l and k
by Alexander Barton 17 Dez '02

17 Dez '02

Hi! I just added the channel modes "k" (channel key/password) and "l" (member limit) to CVS-HEAD. This fixes bug #31. Please test! ;-) Regards Alex PS.: Ah, actually JOIN doesn't support more than one key at a time. This is not RFC-compliant, I know. I filed bug #42 for this. I tried to figure out how the original ircd behaves (imagine you want to join three channels of which only the first and the last need a key -- how to supply the list of keys!?), but the behavior seemd to be verry inconsequent at the first glance ... -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

CVS-HEAD: New MODE parser
by Alexander Barton 15 Dez '02

15 Dez '02

Hi all! Here comes the next CVS update announcement, this time with a neat little subject line again ;-) I just committed the new MODE parser to CVS-HEAD. At the moment it supports all modes the old parser did but understands much more syntax variants. Some examples that all work: MODE nick +or-i MODE nick +o +r -i MODE nick +o r -i MODE #chan +n-t +o newop -v novoice +b bannick MODE #chan +n-t+o-v+b newop novoice bannick The parser is completely rewritten, please check it in detail! Now I'm going to implement support for channel modes k ("key") and l ("user limit") ... Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

(no subject)
by Alexander Barton 14 Dez '02

14 Dez '02

Hi! New patches in CVS-HEAD: - Before closing a link the server attempts to write all data still in the write buffer of this connection to the peer. - New source module "irc-info"; - Variables read from the configuration file are validated much better now. - Started support for the new IRC command STATS: at the moment only the sub-function "l" is supported. - Fixed ISON and USERHOST: the correct sender was missing in the result. - IRC operators can KILL users now. - New configuration variable "MaxJoins:" it limits the maximum number of channels a single user can join. Default is 10. Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

CVS-HEAD/branch-0-5-x:
by Alexander Barton 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Änderungen in CVS-HEAD und branch-0-5-x: - SQUIT wird nicht mehr doppelt an andere Server weitergeleitet. - Der Server versucht nun vor dem Schliessen einer Verbindung Daten, die noch im Schreibpuffer stehen, zu senden. - Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl). Der "Alle-Daten-Schreiben"-Patch ist in HEAD und 0-5-x leicht unterschiedlich, da in HEAD komprimierte Verbindungen mit behandelt werden müssen. Gestern habe ich in HEAD zudem noch einen Fix für komprimierte Server-Server-Links eingespielt. Die Chance, daß diese nun funktionieren, steigt dadurch dramatisch ;-)) Grüße Alex

CVS-HEAD: komprimierte Server-Server-Links
by Alexander Barton 27 Nov '02

27 Nov '02

Hallo miteinander! Neu in CVS-HEAD: - MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden. - IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert. - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren. Für die komprimierten Server-Server-Links waren einige tiefgreifendere Änderungen notwendig, die teilweise auch dann in Kraft sind, wenn der Server ohne ZLIB-Unterstützung compiliert wird. -- Bitte alles gut testen ;-) Grüße Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

ngIRCd 0.5.4
by Alexander Barton 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hallo! Soeben habe ich ngIRCd 0.5.4 freigegeben.

CVS-HEAD/branch-0-5-x: select()-Timeout
by Alexander Barton 23 Nov '02

23 Nov '02

Hallo zusammen! - select() in Try_Write() hat falschen (keinen!) Timeout verwendet; die "Zeit-Aufloesung" des Servers sind zudem nun 2 Sekunden (TIME_RES). Insgesamt sollte die Reaktionszeit des Server nun besser sein. "Zeit-Aufloesung" bedeutet: mindestens alle diese TIME_RES Sekunden, also im Moment alle 2 Sekunden, prueft der Server, ob PINGs gesendet werden muessen, ob Server (neu) connectiert werden muessen, ob irgend welche andere Timeouts aufgetreten sind. Wenn Netz-Aktivitaet vorhanden ist, geschieht dies ggf. frueher, d.h. das Interval ist zwischen 0 und TIME_RES Sekunden.

Hi zusammen! - angenommene Sockets werden nun korrekt auf "non-blocking" konfiguriert, beim Senden und Empfangen werden Blockierungen besser abgefangen. Mit den "non-blocking" Sockets bestand da wohl noch ein gewisses (hüstel) Problem. Fix ist in CVS-HEAD und branch-0-5-x ... hoffentlich stimmer er so auch ;-) Grüße Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de

CVS-HEAD: asyncrone Server-Passwörter
by Alexander Barton 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

Hallo zusammen! Neu in CVS-HEAD: - unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED. Dies ist offenbar für HP-UX 11.11 erforderlich ... - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asyncronen Passwoertern, d.h. das Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server", wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt. Bisher wurden Server-Paßwörter im Abschnitt [Server] mit der Variablen "Password" konfiguriert. Durch diesen Patch müssen nun zwei Paßwörter konfiguriert werden: das des eigenen Servers und das des "Peers": dazu gibt es die beiden neuen Variablen "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword". Server "A.server" Server "B.server" Bisher: [Server] [Server] Host=a.server.net Host=b.server.net Name=A.server Name=B.server Password=ThePwd Password=ThePwd Neu: [Server] [Server] Host=a.server.net Host=b.server.net Name=A.server Name=B.server MyPassword=ServerAPwd MyPassword=ServerBPwd PeerPassword=ServerBPwd PeerPassword=ServerAPwd Um die bisherige Semantik zu emulieren kann man einfach "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" auf den selben Wert setzen. Das ist jedoch NICHT empfohlen, dieses Verfahren ist nicht "sicher": Grund: Sendet "mein" Server A mein Passwort an den unbekannten Server B, so kann dieser einfach mein Passwort, welches er gerade empfangen hat, wieder an mich zurück schicken und ist authentifiziert. Nur mit asyncronen Paßwörtern kann mein Server sein Gegenüber validieren. Grüße Alex

ngIRCd 0.5.3
by Alexander Barton 08 Nov '02

08 Nov '02

Hallo! Soeben habe ich ngIRCd 0.5.3 freigegeben. Diese ist -- bis auf die Versionsnummer ;-) -- mit 0.5.3-pre1 identisch. Änderungen seit 0.5.2: - NOTICE liefert nun wirklich nie mehr einen Fehler, auch dann nicht, wenn der sendende Client noch gar nicht registriert ist. - ein "schneller Server-Reconnect" wird nur noch dann versucht, wenn die Verbindung zuvor ordentlich (="lange genug") in Ordnung war; somit also nicht meht, wenn der Peer-Server gleich beim Connect ein ERROR liefert. Das vermeidet "Connect-Orgien". - einige Datentypen aufgeraumt: z.B. sind viele INT32s nun LONGs. Das ist auf Platformen mit 8-Byte-Integern kompatibler. - RPL_YOURHOST_MSG ist nun ircII- und RFC-kompatibel ;-) - Segfault unter hoher Netzaktivitaet behoben: in Conn_Close() wird die Connection-Struktur nun frueher als "ungueltig" markiert. Download: - <http://arthur.ath.cx/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.5.3.tar.gz> - <ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.5.3.tar.gz> Patch von 0.5.2 auf 0.5.3: - <http://arthur.ath.cx/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.5.2-0.5.3.patch> Ein Update ist für Server, die nicht CVS-HEAD oder 0.5.3-pre1 verwenden, DRINGEND ANZURATEN!

Alex: Why does that not surprise me...great to hear you develop on Jaguar (me too, but so far mostly front-end programming)! Re: Logging - I was hoping to be able to log all channel conversation transcripts using the daemon, not using bots... but that may be more of a wish list than a real world need. I can have bots in the crucial rooms for our workgroups.and having the 'enable-sniffer' on would probably be a real pain. Lastly of course there's ircgraph... if only to be able to show the users how many smiley :-) and frowny :-( faces they make over the course of a financial quarter... :) Anyway, great job on ngircd.

mass kill stability
by Joshua Coombs 01 Nov '02

01 Nov '02

Welp, so far the last few days of cvs cuts have proven rock solid against the mass dirty client drop bug. Using a 386dx-40 and today's pull from cvs, we were able to get 400 clients on the server in one channel, and kill them all at once without so much as a hiccup from the ircd. Welp, bis jetzt die letzten Tage der cvs Schnitte haben Felsenkörper gegen die schmutzige Klient Tropfenmassenwanze geprüft. Mit einem 386dx-40 und einem heutigen Zug von den cvs,WAREN wir in der Lage, 400 Klienten auf dem Bediener in einer Führung zu erhalten und töten sie in einem Zug außen soviel als hiccup vom ircd.

Hi there! Just wanted to let everyone know that ngirc 0.5.2 compiled delightfully on Mac OSX Jaguar. Wish list: - dynamic users-per-server limit - logging of all server chat (does it do this?) - ircgraph compatibility (i know this is in ircgraph bug) Overall I wanted to say that ngircd is great - terrific job so far on this lightweight, functional irc daemon. -- german --- Hallo dort! Gerecht wünschte informieren Sie jeder, daß ngirc 0.5.2 herrlich auf Jaguar des Mac-OSX kompilierte. Wunschliste: - dynamische Benutzer-pro-Server Begrenzung - Protokollieren alles Server Schwätzchens (tut es dies?) - ircgraph Kompatibilität (ich weiß, daß diese im ircgraph Programmfehler ist) Gesamt wollte ich sagen, daß ngircd - gut Job bis jetzt auf diesem kompakten, Funktions-IRC Dämon groß ist. -- Micki Kaufman 245 8th Avenue, #188 New York, NY 10011 212 352-8593 (h) 917 450-9137 (c) mailto:micki001@concentric.net

core on rapid client disconnect
by Joshua Coombs 26 Okt '02

26 Okt '02

Using a cvs build from 10/20/02 I'm still able to get ngircd to core by rapidly dumping a bunch (40+) of clients at once. It's alot more solid than 0.5.2, but the root issue still seems to remain. What info should I be gathering and what should I be doing to assist debug? Mit einem cvs Bau von 10/20/02BIN ich noch in der Lage, ngircd zu erhalten, um zu entkernen, indem ich schnell sofort ein Bündel (40+) Klienten entleere. Es ist das alot, das fester als 0,5,2 ist, aber die Wurzelausgabe scheint noch zu bleiben. Was Info sollte ich erfassen und was sollte ich tun, um zu unterstützen ausprüfe?

/lusers RFC compliance
by Joshua Coombs 20 Okt '02

20 Okt '02

Attempting to setup http://wmaker.lrv.ufsc.br/index.php?pagina=ircgraph for use with ngircd has turned up a bug. Before I file a report with bugtracker, I'd like to see if it really is a bug or a chosen break from the RFCs. ircgraph expects the response to /lusers * some.server.blah to have specific formating, based on RFC 2812. ngircd is only reporting part of what is normally expected in the 251 responce. I tried to configure and compile ngircd-0.5.2 using --enable-strict-rfc but the build broke with the following: In file included from client.c:36: /usr/include/netdb.h:204: warning: empty declaration source='conf.c' object='conf.o' libtool=no depfile='.deps/conf.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/conf.TPo' depmode=gcc /bin/sh ../../depcomp gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../src -I./../portab -Wall -g -O2 -DSYS CONFDIR='"/usr/local/etc"' -c `test -f 'conf.c' || echo './'`conf.c conf.c: In function `Validate_Config': conf.c:542: `ConfAdminMail' undeclared (first use in this function) conf.c:542: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once conf.c:542: for each function it appears in.) *** Error code 1 Suggestions? Das Versuchen, http://wmaker.lrv.ufsc.br/index.php?pagina=ircgraph für Gebrauch mit ngircd zu gründen hat sich herauf eine Wanze gedreht. Bevor ich einen Report mit bugtracker vorlege, möchte ich sehen, wenn es wirklich eine Wanze oder ein gewählter Bruch vom RFCs ist. ircgraph erwartet die Antwort zu/Lusers * some.server.blah zum Haben das spezifische Formating, basiert auf RFC 2812. ngircd berichtet nur Teil von, über was normalerweise im responce 251 erwartet wird. Ich versuchte, ngircd-0.5.2 zusammenzubauen und zu kompilieren mit -- Ermöglichen-strengcRfc aber der Bau brachen mit dem folgenden: (sehen Sie oben) Vorschläge? Joshua Coombs jcoombs(a)gwi.net
