  33 <!--beginarticle-->
  34 <PRE>Version 5 is definitely coming together very well now.
  35
  36 Been running the latest version on a production network and the following
  37 issues came up. All reported on a Network of Unreal servers running Services
  38 5.0a18.
  39
  40 1) Bug: When the ChanServ and Nickserv LIST command is restricted to opers
  41 only, it still displays in the list of standard commands available to all
  42 users. It ought to be removed from the commands list when not available to a
  43 user.
  44
  45 2) Suggestion: A configuration file directive to remove/disable GetPass
  46 would be a welcome addition. The introduction of SendPass into the main
  47 distribution removes the main need for GetPass (password recovery) so the
  48 abiity to easily remove GetPass commands from the modules and references in
  49 helpfiles would be useful.
  50
  51 3) Bug: Memoserv send does not always confirm that a memo has been sent even
  52 though it has. This only seems to affect some users and I have yet to find
  53 what it is about particular users that causes this.
  54
  55 4) Bug: Help responses which involve 2 pseudo client names do not appear to
  56 display correctly. E.g. the /cs help register command will display the name
  57 of the ChanServ client correctly, but seemingly a random string for the
  58 NickServ client
  59
  60 -ChanServ- Syntax: SENDPASS channel
  61 -ChanServ-
  62 -ChanServ- Sends you an E-mail message containing the password for the
  63 -ChanServ- given channel.  You must be the founder of the channel to
  64 -ChanServ- use this command, and you must first identify for your
  65 -ChanServ- nickname with the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx IDENTIFY command.
  66
  67 (the xxx refers to a user's hostname masked for privacy which managed to
  68 become the client name for NickServ during one services run. This same host
  69 name was displayed in that place to all users on the network. Previous runs
  70 had other strings which were sometimes &quot;random&quot; garbage.
  71
  72 5) Bug: The Network statistics link in the httpd module does not operate at
  73 all. On our network we run an existing StatServ client, so the services one
  74 is named StatServ2. I could not see anything in the code/setup that would
  75 cause this to affect the httpd module but thought I should mention it in
  76 case.
  77
  78 6) Another &quot;unhandled&quot; message for the list, services reports but is unable
  79 to process /who 0 o commands (users trying to list online opers) generating:
  80
  81 unknown message from server (:nick 4 [Did a /who 0 o])
  82
  83 7) Suggestion: every hyperlink clicked in the httpd pages results in the
  84 following log entry:
  85
  86 httpd/main: Accepted connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:nnnn
  87
  88 This suggestion is twofold, firstly a more defined log entry specifying the
  89 access made and secondly, logging the httpd client messages to a seperate
  90 log file. It might actually be useful to log each client to it's own log
  91 file, with the central file reserved for messages related to overall
  92 operation.
  93
  94 8) Rehash produces an odd error message:
  95
  96 Received SIGHUP, rehashing.
  97 sockets: select(): Interrupted system call
  98
  99 Not sure how important this is but if it is important enough to log, it is
 100 probably something that shouldn't be happening :)
 101
 102 9) Not sure if this is a known problem listed anywhere but I haven't found
 103 it in the docs, Services 5 will not parse a Version 4.5.x exception.db file.
 104 The following error appears in the log file:
 105
 106 database/version4: Read error on exception.db
 107
 108
 109 I think that covers everything in today's findings that I haven't found in
 110 known bugs or other comments :)
 111
 112 Mark.
