ngIRCd 18~rc2
by Alexander Barton 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Moin, moin! This morning I released the 2nd release candidate for the ngIRCd 18 release: ngIRCd 18~rc2. Some documentation and our manual pages have been updated and a SSL-related regression has been fixed, that prevented the current ngIRCd to link with elder releases using SSL. 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 as already stated for the 1st release candidate, 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 this prerelease here: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> There are source packages, GnuPG signatures, and a binary package for Mac OS X.

ngIRCd 18~rc1
by Alexander Barton 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi All! Here it is, the first release candidate for ngIRCd release 18! Our last release dates back to 2010, so it’s long overdue … and in the meantime, lots of patches and enhancements have accumulated. All in all, 116 files changed and there were 3590 insertions and 2306 deletions to our codebase since release 17.1 — quite a lot. There is 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> This is our first release candidate; not the final release. So keep in mind that there can be bugs: please report all problems you encounter, to the mailing list or our bug tracker — thanks! You can find this prerelease here: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> There are source packages, GnuPG signatures, and a binary package for Mac OS X. Regards Alex PS.: I will update my unofficial debian repository as soon as I find time …

New configuration file layout
by Alexander Barton 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Hi ngIRC'ers! we discussed the layout of ngircd.conf and the massive growth of variables in the [Global] section a few weeks (months!?) ago in irc://irc.barton.de/#ngircd -- today I published a patch restructuring ngircd.conf, please review it and let me know what you think: <https://arthur.barton.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ngircd-alex.git;a=shortlog;h=…> The new layout splits the variables from [Global] into the sections [Global], [Limits], and [Options]. Left in [Global] are only configuration options that most probably every ngIRCd administrator has to adjust; all the limits (MaxConnections, …) and timeouts (PING, PONG) are stored below [Limits]; and all (optional) features are move into the [Options] section. All moved or renamed variables ("NoPAM = yes" -> "PAM = no") are still recognized in their old location in [Global], but marked as "deprecated" and will emit a warning message when starting ngIRCd or running "ngircd --configtest". So you should be able to use your old configuration file without loss of functionality. There have been no changes to the handling of [Operator], [Server], or [Channel] blocks. What do you think? Regards Alex PS.: this would be the new layout: [GLOBAL] Name AdminInfo1 AdminInfo2 AdminEMail Info Listen MotdFile MotdPhrase Password PidFile Ports ServerGID ServerUID [LIMITS] ConnectRetry MaxConnections MaxConnectionsIP MaxJoins MaxNickLength PingTimeout PongTimeout [OPTIONS] AllowRemoteOper ChrootDir CloakHost CloakUserToNick ConnectIPv4 ConnectIPv6 DNS Ident NoticeAuth OperCanUseMode OperServerMode PAM PredefChannelsOnly RequireAuthPing SSLCertFile SSLDHFile SSLKeyFile SSLKeyFilePassword SSLPorts SyslogFacility WebircPassword [Operator] … [Server] … [Channel] …

A couple of questions setting up a new server
by Jonathan Coveney 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. I want to set up a lightweight IRC server, and ngircd seems perfect. I can't find some documentation on certain things, however... for example, in the README it says "Implemented IRC-commands are: ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, HELP, INVITE, ISON, JOIN, KICK, KILL, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD, NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE, OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT, REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SQUIT, STATS, TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, VERSION, WALLOPS, WHO, WHOIS, WHOWAS." However, I can't seem to find the syntax for any of these! I tried using help, but that just brings up MIRC's help. There are a couple of things I'd like to do at the moment, but am unsure of how, for example: I made a persistent room, and want to make myself the operator of it. I used /oper to make myself an irc admin, but /mode #channel +o myname gives me a 'you are not channel operator name.' I can't see in the server logs where to set this, and it seems odd that despite being an irc operator, I can't just force the mode command. If there is a place where things like this are documented more thoroughly I'd lvoe that. Otherwise, I'd deeply appreciate any help you Jon

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help (I'm not sure if this is going to double post, forgive me if it does, my mail client bugged). I want to set up a lightweight IRC server, and ngircd seems perfect.

MorePrivacy patch
by xor 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

this patch contains: * Fix for Conf_CloakUserToNick to make it conceal user details (extended user string). * Adds MorePrivacy-feature MorePrivacy censors some user information from being reported by the server. Signon time and idle time is censored. Part and quit messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped. All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd servers from TOR or I2P. View attached file for more info :)

ScrubCTCP patch
by xor 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

This patch makes it possible to scrub incomming CTCP commands from other servers and clients alike. The ngircd oper can enable it from the config file, by adding "ScrubCTCP = yes" under [FEATURES]. It is default off. CTCP can be used to profile IRC users (get user clients name and version, and also their IP addresses). This is not something we like to happen when user pseudonymity/secrecy is important. The server silently drops incomming CTCP requests from both other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users. There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me commands") requests are not scrubbed. ACTION is not dangerous to users (unless they use OTR, which does not encrypt CTCP requests) and most users would be confused if they were just dropped. A CTCP request looks like this: ctcp_char, COMMAND, arg0, arg1, arg2, .. argN, ctcp_char ctcp_char is 0x01. (just like bold is 0x02 and color is 0x03.) They are sent as part of a message and can be delivered to channels and users alike. If there is any error in what I just said, please tell me :D Attached is the patch for ScrubCTCP. I am not that good at writing patches. This is actually my very first one for a real project. So please be patient with me :)

Re: [ngIRCd-ML] IRC Services (rfc1459) broken on latest git?
by Alexander Barton 12 Mai '11

12 Mai '11

Hello! Am 29.04.2011 um 16:25 schrieb shinji(a)elite-systems.org: > Since you had to relax for rfc1459 and the logs are indicating "rfc1459 compatibility mode" does this mean you are working to support more services protocols? Current development version of ngIRCd has support for the current development branch (1.9) of Anope. However ngIRCd is a „second class citizen“ in Anope world: the protocol module most probably will be moved out of the regular source tree into an „extra“ branch or something like that, because of too little „relevance“. But as of today, the protocol module still lives in modules/protocol/ngircd.cpp (Anope 1.9, current GIT). If you are interested in Anope supporting ngircd, please test current ngIRCd and current Anope versions, and report back to Anope, for example in #anope-devel on irc.teranova.net :-) Regards Alex PS.: please try to „replay to all“ and keep the list in CC:!
