  33 <!--beginarticle-->
  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>1) Bug: When the ChanServ and Nickserv LIST command is restricted to opers
  35 </I>&gt;<i>only, it still displays in the list of standard commands available to all
  36 </I>&gt;<i>users. It ought to be removed from the commands list when not available to a
  37 </I>&gt;<i>user.
  38 </I>
  39      I don't consider this a bug (in fact, I think I had it that way at one
  40 point and reversed it), but it seems reasonable enough.  Done.
  41
  42 &gt;<i>2) Suggestion: A configuration file directive to remove/disable GetPass
  43 </I>&gt;<i>would be a welcome addition. The introduction of SendPass into the main
  44 </I>&gt;<i>distribution removes the main need for GetPass (password recovery) so the
  45 </I>&gt;<i>abiity to easily remove GetPass commands from the modules and references in
  46 </I>&gt;<i>helpfiles would be useful.
  47 </I>
  48      Added.
  49
  50 &gt;<i>3) Bug: Memoserv send does not always confirm that a memo has been sent even
  51 </I>&gt;<i>though it has. This only seems to affect some users and I have yet to find
  52 </I>&gt;<i>what it is about particular users that causes this.
  53 </I>
  54      I haven't been able to reproduce this, and can't fix it without more
  55 information.
  56
  57 &gt;<i>4) Bug: Help responses which involve 2 pseudo client names do not appear to
  58 </I>&gt;<i>display correctly. E.g. the /cs help register command will display the name
  59 </I>&gt;<i>of the ChanServ client correctly, but seemingly a random string for the
  60 </I>&gt;<i>NickServ client
  61 </I>
  62      I can't reproduce this.
  63
  64 &gt;<i>5) Bug: The Network statistics link in the httpd module does not operate at
  65 </I>&gt;<i>all.
  66 </I>
  67      This is known (see the FIXME in httpd/dbaccess.c).
  68
  69 &gt;<i>6) Another &quot;unhandled&quot; message for the list, services reports but is unable
  70 </I>&gt;<i>to process /who 0 o commands (users trying to list online opers) generating:
  71 </I>&gt;<i>
  72 </I>&gt;<i>unknown message from server (:nick 4 [Did a /who 0 o])
  73 </I>
  74      This is a HELP message (the /who is processed by the client's server).
  75 I'll add it to the ignore list.
  76
  77 &gt;<i>7) Suggestion: every hyperlink clicked in the httpd pages results in the
  78 </I>&gt;<i>following log entry:
  79 </I>&gt;<i>
  80 </I>&gt;<i>httpd/main: Accepted connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:nnnn
  81 </I>&gt;<i>
  82 </I>&gt;<i>This suggestion is twofold, firstly a more defined log entry specifying the
  83 </I>&gt;<i>access made and secondly, logging the httpd client messages to a seperate
  84 </I>&gt;<i>log file. It might actually be useful to log each client to it's own log
  85 </I>&gt;<i>file, with the central file reserved for messages related to overall
  86 </I>&gt;<i>operation.
  87 </I>
  88      I don't like the proliferation of log files that would create; if it
  89 bothers you to have everything in one logfile, just write a script that
  90 parses them out to separate files or something.  As for the other point, an
  91 access-log-like thing is under consideration.
  92
  93 &gt;<i>8) Rehash produces an odd error message:
  94 </I>&gt;<i>
  95 </I>&gt;<i>Received SIGHUP, rehashing.
  96 </I>&gt;<i>sockets: select(): Interrupted system call
  97 </I>
  98      This is because the signal interrupts select() which is waiting for
  99 input from the remote server, and probably shouldn't be logged as it's
 100 normal behavior.  Fixed.
 101
 102 &gt;<i>9) Not sure if this is a known problem listed anywhere but I haven't found
 103 </I>&gt;<i>it in the docs, Services 5 will not parse a Version 4.5.x exception.db file.
 104 </I>&gt;<i>The following error appears in the log file:
 105 </I>&gt;<i>
 106 </I>&gt;<i>database/version4: Read error on exception.db
 107 </I>
 108      Can you send me an example database that has this problem?
