  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>      Okay, that was a stupid one... an off-by-one error in
  35 </I>&gt;<i> a memcpy() size
  36 </I>&gt;<i> argument.  Fixed, thanks; the patch is as follows:

  44 </I>
  45 Fair enough, just wondering what they were doing :)
  46
  47 &gt;<i>      You should probably look into what check_access_cumode()
  48 </I>&gt;<i> (modules/chanserv/access.c) is doing; that part of the
  49 </I>&gt;<i> code has been
  50 </I>&gt;<i> thoroughly redone and gotten almost no testing.  I'm not
  51 </I>&gt;<i> sure what would
  52 </I>&gt;<i> cause the autovoice level to get set to 0.
  53 </I>
  54 Ahh, I wasn't very clear there - the autovoice level was set to 0 on
  55 the version 4 services by my chanops to make it easier to silence
  56 certain users :). On the v5 net, with both the xOP and Levels modules
  57 loaded, nothing happens to level 0 users, and users previously
  58 autoopped (levels 5+) are all set mode +hq (insofar as that there is
  59 more than one +q user in the room...).
  60
  61 Just a few more things that I've noticed:
  62
  63 - The news.db database (imported from version 4) corrupted rather
  64 easily the first time I sent services a SIGTERM. Now I get [Oper
  65 News - Jan 01 1970] (null).
  66
  67 - The /os rehash command doesn't seem to rehash very many
  68 configuration options. I could be wrong, but I don't think I've seen
  69 any of the modules.conf options updated using this command.
  70
  71 - httpd/auth-password doesn't seem to work at all for me:
  72 Module httpd/auth-password
  73     AuthName            &quot;PhaseNet Test IRC Services&quot;
  74     Protect     /debug          &quot;quack:quack&quot;
  75     Protect     /dbaccess       &quot;quack:quack&quot;
  76 EndModule
  77
  78 No auth box is presented
  79
  80 - The httpd/dbaccess module is very useful for debugging
  81 access/levels problems such as the above, but it would be quite handy
  82 to have a <A HREF="http://serviceshost/dbaccess/chanserv/chan/levels">http://serviceshost/dbaccess/chanserv/chan/levels</A> page,
  83 showing the xOP levels sometimes.
  84
  85
  86
  87 That's about all for the moment ;),
