I'm back running a ngirc instance, and have encountered an annoyance.
I want to be able to set the maximum allowed nick-length; it would only appear to be set-able at compilation time, not through the config file.
Yes -- its a compile-time constant. Unfortunately I am no longer able to contribute to ngircd. Out of interest: what value would you want to set?
Between 15-19, really. If I were recompiling, i'd probably set it at 19, to make it a bit future proof. If it were config-file based, 15 (and increment as needed)
Perhaps the value should be increased by default in future versions of ngircd?
perhaps; 9 is a bit short, particularly if ngirc's to be adopted (quickly) by 'big' networks with lots of users.
thanks,
