ngIRCd 22.1
by Alexander Barton 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hello World! ngIRCd 22 has been released on October 11 2014, and since then, a few "glitches" and bugs have been found. Therefore here it is: the next ngIRCd release named 22.1. The most severe bug was "WHO #channel" showing all invisible users and hiding all visible, the logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced back in August 2013 and affects ngIRCd releases 21, 21.1, and 22. Thanks a lot to "Cahata" for reporting this in #ngircd! And the most prominent change in ngIRCd 22.1 is that the default value of the "CipherList" configuration variable has been changed to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch, and testing by Christoph Biedl; Thanks a lot! (And please make sure to adjust this variable accordingly if you still have to support old and insecure(!) clients! You can check the current value using "ngircd --configtest" before upgrading. See "INSTALL" for details.) As usual, you can find the whole ChangeLog online on the ngIRCd homepage <http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/ChangeLog> and below: - Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt. - Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text. - Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems to do this (today?). Closes #185. Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks! - Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2, "Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata in #ngircd, Thanks! - Fix typo in src/testsuite/README - Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops! - Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't send an appropriate PONG in the case ... Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks! - Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname" in #ngircd, thanks! - Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands. - Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in a new connection attempt as soon as possible. - Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address forgeries. - doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker. - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch, and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy(a)manchmal.in-ulm.de>. - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using DNS at all makes the test site much more portable. You can find more information on our homepage at <http://ngircd.barton.de/> and its mirror <http://ngircd.mirror.3rz.org/>. The primary download location is: • <http://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> THANKS to all users, bug reporters, contributors, packagers, and supporters! Have fun! Alex

Server not configured error

Hello, Im having a bit of an issue connecting two servers. This is my main server(s1) ngircd.conf [server] #S2 name = secondserver.net host = 192.168.1.102 port = 6667 MyPassword = <scrubbed> PeerPassword = <scrubbed> Group = 4 [server]#S3 name = backupmain.net host = 192.168.1.103 port = 6667 MyPassword = <scrubbed> PeerPassword = <scrubbed> Group = 4 This is the ngircd from my backup server (s3) [Server] #S1 name = mainservername.net host = 192.168.1.101 port = 6667 MyPassword = <scrubbed> PeerPassword = <scrubbed> Group = 4 The connection to s2 works fine. No issues there. When I start up the backup server with ngircd -n, I get the "backupmain.net" is not configured here." Have I missed something?

Is it possible to post a message in all rooms so that it looks like the message is coming from the server? Like a broadcast message? If not from the server, at least from My admin username?

Test suite can't cope with zombies
by taylanbayirli＠gmail.com 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

This could be seen as a bug in GNU Guix (or Nix?) as well but, the test suite of ngircd uses some "kill -0" calls to determine whether a process is still alive after receiving a SIGTERM, and that doesn't work in Guix's build processes because it's a strongly encapsulated environment in which PID 1 is a Guile process running a certain script which apparently doesn't fulfill the expected role, of a real PID 1 (init) process, to wait(2) for disowned and killed processes, which makes them turn into zombies. I don't know of a trivial solution, so do as you wish. :-) (The Guix recipe will just disable the running of 'make check' for now.) Taylan

sorry for all the questions..got another
by wally 13 Jan '15

Still trying to muddle my way through running my own server. Sorry for all the questions. Is there a way to have specific people automatically get chan-op status? Or allow them to get it via a password system? Like the system-op option in the config? If it helps, I use PAM for authentication.

Hello..I'm getting quite a few of these write errors and broken pipes in my log. Based on the random usernames associated, I'm guessing someone is trying to spam/ddos/hack? my server..but I'm not sure. Normal users are able to connect without issue. I also have PAM enabled.
