Subject: [IRCServices Coding] Some points for 5.1
Message-ID: <debb3bc0601070829j79ac2dcctef93bfbb8782d274@mail.gmail.com>

Firstly, congratulations to Andy for getting the first version of 5.1
released. Sorry to hear that you're quitting Services development
though.

There are a few issues with 5.1 that I'd like to mention:

- I enabled encryption for the first time when using 5.1, and dumped
the XML output to file immediately afterwards to see the results
(after saving the databases, obviously). I noticed that all the
channel founder passwords had "cipher=md5" included in the XML tag,
even when the passwords were still unencrypted. (The nickname
passwords appear to be fine though.) If you want me to, I can
privately send you the XML file so you can see what I'm talking about
- it's not very big (only 3 nicks and 10 channels).

- Is there any way that news items can be included in the XML dump? I
don't know about the rest of the users out there, but I personally
find it very annoying having to manually re-enter them after restoring
corrupt databases, transferring my data between versions 5.0 and 5.1,
etc.

- I can understand your reasons for removing support for the channel
owner mode, but I think that there might be some controversy over this
one. Would it be possible for third party module coders to add support
for this mode? (For the record, the aforementioned module coder won't
be me; I don't know any C :P)

Once again, thanks for the release.

     Services 5.1a1 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     I've finally finished implementing the new database format, and it's
included in this version as the new database/standard module.  I said it
before, but I'll say it again since it's particularly relevant to this
release:  BACK UP YOUR DATA because alpha versions (particularly this one)
may eat it!

     I've also made the new database module the default in the example
ircservices.conf file, so if you use that as is then your old data won't
get loaded at all.  Instructions for converting from the old database
format to the new one can be found in the "Upgrading" section of the
manual.

     (And no, I'm not ignoring mail on this list. (:  I just wanted to get
this done first.)

Changes in version 5.1a1
------------------------
2006/01/09      Finished implementing the database/standard module, and
                    made it the default in the example configuration file.
2006/01/08      Removed no-longer-needed new_suspendinfo() and
                    free_suspendinfo() functions.
2006/01/08      Moved SuspendInfo structure directly into NickGroupInfo and
                    ChannelInfo structures rather than using pointers.
2006/01/07      Added ACCLEV_MAX and ACCLEV_MIN constants to explicitly
                    define ChanServ access levels, rather than relying on
                    ACCLEV_FOUNDER and ACCLEV_INVALID.
2006/01/04      Fixed a bug in writing generic database tables.
2006/01/04      Fixed a bug in the Unreal protocol module causing user
                    fakehost masks to get set to the user's mode string.
2005/11/23      Added support for writing generic tables (using the new
                    database format) in the database/version4 module.

     I did not initially include news items because I couldn't think of a
case where they'd be handy; since you give some here, I'll look into adding
them.

     Yes, the necessary callbacks and exported functions are present (or
should be, anyway, and I can fix things if not).

As a note, if this module is still required when 5.1 reaches beta, i'll
look into how easy it would be to add it in (Given the 5.0 module API, i
can't see it being too much of a problem :))

Subject: [IRCServices Coding] Channel password encryption issue
Message-ID: <43ca1261.77040@msgid.achurch.org>

     To the reporter of the issue with channel password cipher strings
being saved incorrectly in the XML file:  Did you set the EncryptionType
directive before saving your data at least once with 5.1?  5.0 and earlier
don't save the encryption type, so 5.1 has no way to know the proper cipher
and just defaults to the EncryptionType setting.  I'm unable to reproduce
the problem using databases saved under 5.1.

I imported the data from 5.0, then enabled encryption. As I've got a
30 minute interval between database saves, most likely it didn't save
before encryption was enabled.

Makes sense.

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This is just a quick release to get out a few additional changes
I've made, and fix a bug causing the version4 database to lose all your
channels--though I prefer to think of that as an incentive to switch to
the new database format. ;)  The big thing to note is that some of the
databases have changed names, so if you've switched to the
database/standard module, you'll need to rename files as follows:

nickgroup-access.sdb -> nick-access.sdb
nickgroup-ajoin.sdb  -> nick-autojoin.sdb
nickgroup-ignore.sdb -> memo-ignore.sdb
nickgroup-memo.sdb   -> memo.sdb

     I should also mention that I've finished everything on my personal
to-do list for 5.1, except for writing the technical design manual (sigh,
there go the next few months of my life); there are still a number of
items in the TODO file in the distribution, but considering also that
that file is rather old, I'm going to leave those for future developers
unless there's a particular desire for something to be included in 5.1.
In other words, if you want to see something in 5.1, now's the time to
ask!

Changes in version 5.1a2
------------------------
2006/01/15      Fixed a bug in loading the ChanServ database in the
                    database/version4 module.
2006/01/15      The misc/xml-import module now allows news items to be
                    imported via the ImportNews configuration directive.
                    Suggested by Kieron Thwaites <ron2k.za@gmail.com>
2006/01/15      MemoServ IGNORE now ignores memos from nicknames linked to
                    nickname (but not wildcard) entries on the ignore list.
                    Suggested by Robin Burchell <surreal.w00t@gmail.com>
2006/01/15      Renamed ChannelInfo CI_* flags to CF_* for consistency with
                    other structures' flags.
2006/01/09      Moved the access, autojoin, memo, and ignore databases to
                    their respective modules, and changed the database
                    names to "nick-access", "nick-autojoin", "memo", and
                    "memo-ignore" respectively.
2006/01/09      Changed DBTable.insert() to not return a value.

     Iterate through the user list with first_user() and next_user(), and
use is_oper() to check whether the user is an oper or not.

I've got troubles! With database/standard:
All data is imported well, but services exited on segm. fault.
Here is backtrace from core file:

With database/version4:
services just imported the data and exited with message in
ircservices.log: Terminating, reason unknown
Starting it up says: (database/version4) Invalid format in chan.db
And services continue to work with no registered channels at all.

Nicknames are okay.
Please give me some ideas why channels importing doesn't work.
Thanks.

I'm glad to see it, thanks.

Actually, there are no DNSBL checks on my server. DNSBLs are very
incorrect in some cases. Your relay was rejected by my filters.
It was hostname regex filter:

# hostnames with repeating digits (5 digits or more)
/\d{5,}/                                        REJECT filter 01009
against your host p10218-ipbffx02hodogaya.kanagawa.ocn.ne.jp[60.39.233.218]

I recommend you to setup reverse DNS record in good style. ('achurch.org' for
example) Alot of servers are using such filters to determine sender
is in dynamic/dhcp pools. Please have it in your mind.

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This fixes the bug just reported with importing channel data into the
database/standard module (a silly oversight on my part), and gets rid of
some file mode cruft left over from many versions ago.  The still-very-
incomplete technical reference manual has also made its first appearance,
assuming my release script did what it was supposed to...

Changes in version 5.1a3
------------------------
2006/01/17      Fixed a bug in importing channel data when using the
                    database/standard module.  Reported by Vitaliy
                    Ovsyannikov <V.Ovsyannikov@kr.ru>
2006/01/17      The language and data file installation procedure no longer
                    sets the installed files' modes to owner-access-only;
                    the default file mode (as set with umask) is used.

It looks like services do import data w/o errors and exist. But it is
still crashing on second execution (without -import key):

     Unfortunately, my ISP doesn't allow its customers to set up their own
reverse DNS, so this isn't an option for me.

Off topic I know, but zoneedit.com allow their servers to be set up as
secondaries to your hidden primary. This puts your zone completely under
your control if you set the servers they give you as your registered DNS
servers. What's more it's free.
I've been doing this for years now and find it to be an excellent
solution. Especially if you have multiple ISPs.

That only works for forward DNS on domains you own.  Reverse requires 
delegation from the ISP, since they own the zone responsible for your 
IPs.

     You need to run Services with the -nofork option (also include -debug

If you run something with gdb, this something should not fork() or
with other words, it should run in the foreground. Here I quote Andrew
Church from his last email to the list, but from another thread:
"You need to run Services with the -nofork option (also include -debug
for debugging purposes).  Use "r -nofork -debug" at the GDB prompt."

On chatspike, i've modified a few files for 'convieniance' purposes, 
adding things like id -> handle_identify and what not, what would be 
nice, if it were possible to configure some of these in the 
configuration file, rather than having to modifying the core :)

Great work so far :)

     You could just make a module with something like

extern char *s_NickServ;
int do_privmsg(const char *source, const char *target, char *buf)
{
    if (irc_stricmp(target, s_NickServ) == 0
     && stricmp(buf, "ID", 2)
     && isspace(buf[2]
    ) {
        memmove(buf+8, buf+2, strlen(buf+8));
        memcpy(buf, "IDENTIFY", 8);
    }
    return 0;
}
int init_module()
{
    // ...
    add_callback_pri(NULL, "m_privmsg", do_privmsg, CBPRI_MAX); // called first
    // ...
}

which is rather kludgey in that it relies on `buf' being writeable and
having room for 6 more bytes (which should always be true), but it doesn't
require modifying the core.  I'll think about a more general solution,
though.

I understand that it could be done as a module, and it was in
consideration when i added it in, but in all fairness, it was a choice
between coding, testing, debugging, etc of a module, vs. a one liner
into the nickserv command table. Time was an issue as well, which was
why i made the core choice.

Glad you're thinking about it though :)

Subject: [IRCServices Coding] Nick/channel names in non-ASCII character sets
Message-ID: <43d3777b.21143@msgid.achurch.org>

     There have been a couple of requests for Services to handle nicknames
and channel names in non-English (non-ASCII) character sets.  However, I
went and took a look at a couple of IRC servers (Unreal, Hybrid) that are
supposed to have multiple charset support, and both seem to handle case
translation (upper/lower case) the same way as other IRC servers do.
(I also saw that hybrid-ru does case translation of non-ASCII characters,
but as it's not a general algorithm it's better dealt with by a separate
protocol module, which I'll look into separately if there's a need for it.)

     Is there anyone who uses non-ASCII character sets with Services, and
if so, what problems (if any) have you had that are not ircd-related?

I'm using ircd-ru (bahamut clone).
Here are the main features I'm configured:

 - DISALLOWED using nicknames that contains latin alphabet characters as
   well as national alphabet ones withing the server

 - DISALLOWED using nicknames that have words which contains latin alphabet
   characters as well as national alphabet ones withing the server

 - DISABLED hashing and comparison of non-ASCII nicknames and channel names using base
   codepage specific lower and upper tables (case insensitive)

     Lots of changes in this release, including command aliases for
Nick/Chan/MemoServ, support for Unreal NICKCHARS, and several bug fixes.
Mommy, can I go to sleep now?

Changes in version 5.1a6
------------------------
2006/01/26      Added command aliases for NickServ, ChanServ, and MemoServ
                    via the NSAlias, CSAlias, and MSAlias configuration
                    directives.
2006/01/26      Added support for 2-byte characters in valid_nick() and
                    valid_chan().
2006/01/26      Added support for the Unreal NICKCHARS protocol setting.
2006/01/26      Fixed nickname and channel name validity checking (which
                    was broken for a few protocols).
2006/01/26      valid_nick() now defaults to the reference ircd's rules for
                    nickname grammar rather than RFC 1459.
2006/01/26      Fixed bug causing databases with load-only fields to be
                    written incorrectly.
2006/01/26      Invalid channel names are now automatically removed from
                    the autojoin list on identify.
2006/01/26      Fixed memory leak on corrupt channel autokick database.
2006/01/26      Fixed bug in Hybrid and Ratbox protocol modules causing
                    forced nickname changing to break.
2006/01/25      Moved the contents of the TODO file into section 11 of the
                    technical reference manual.
2006/01/25      Fixed bug causing nick authentication reason to get lost on
                    XML import and export.
2006/01/25      Eliminated SuspendInfo structure (fields flattened into
                    NickGroupInfo and ChannelInfo).
2006/01/25      Fixed bug causing database/standard load routine to break
                    on out-of-order fields.
2006/01/24      Fixed minor bug in handling of InspIRCd SETNAME.

Message-ID: <1899483336.20060130193129@kr.ru>

Hello, IRC.

  I've made patch to allow nickserv to change user's nicknames to
original_nickXXXXX instead of GuestXXXXX. Just insert %s into
GuestNickPrefix value in ircservices.conf. %s will be overwritten
by the user's nickname.

patch is attached
Andrew, please check it and merge with src if you want.
(it's for 5.1a5)

An interesting idea, but I'd leave it as-is personally so I can
channel-ban Guest* ;p.

Message-ID: <004201c631e8$71d75930$7cdb7286@noteryan>

I would really like to see the Channel Co-Founder option re-implemented with 
the XOP mode, like cfounder or something, so that co-founders can set 
channel settings just like the founder and manage the SOP's list.

This was around during SirvNet, and I really liked that option.

     SirvNet was derived from IRC Services, not the other way around.  I
have no plans to implement such a feature.

Subject: [IRCServices Coding] SET RESTRICTED, and possibly AKICK flaw
Message-ID: <4419C864.9090309@gmail.com>

Hi,

I've seen this happen once or twice, but was never able to reproduce it 
- last night it got a little major, so I thought I'd better send it on 
to the list.

It appears sometimes on a violation of AKICK or SET RESTRICTED, ChanServ 
doesn't add a +b to the channel, leading to fun endless JOIN/KICK 
floods. Sometimes, ChanServ wakes up after a while - yesterday this 
wasn't the case...

[04:32:59] * You were kicked from #helpers by ChanServ (You are not 
permitted to be on this channel.)
[04:33:01] * You were kicked from #helpers by ChanServ (You are not 
permitted to be on this channel.)
[04:33:04] * You were kicked from #helpers by ChanServ (You are not 
permitted to be on this channel.)

...

[05:09:41] * You were kicked from #helpers by ChanServ (You are not 
permitted to be on this channel.)
[05:09:43] * You were kicked from #helpers by ChanServ (You are not 
permitted to be on this channel.)
[05:09:45] * You were kicked from #helpers by ChanServ (You are not 
permitted to be on this channel.)
[05:09:46] #helpers unable to join channel (address is banned)


That ban being a +b Guest*!*@* set by someone else on the channel.

IRCd is Unreal (3.2.2b, for the terminally curious) - services are at 
5.0.55, with some modules, but no core tweaks.

If anyone else has ideas, because this one has me a little stumped...

Thanks,
w00t.

        For what it's worth, I've had users report this to me as well but I 
have had no luck in reproducing it.  I should add that I don't remember 
it happening lately -- but it was quite rare to begin with so that may 
not mean anything.

Yeah, agreed. It doesn't happen often (though admittedly I don't get
AKICKed or forget to identify fairly often -- this one happened while
I was asleep) -- but I guess I see this happen every few months or so.

No idea how ircservices are doing it (as they do not join channels)..
but if the channel is just recreated on join, kicking the only person
will destroy the channel and all associated bans (at least on hybserv
based ircds, /me never used unreal).

i actually done my homework on this one
it's a sync issue of unreal 3.2+
it sends bans and exceptions and invexes inside SJOIN in a very wierd format
and from time to time looses a leaf's settings. so as i get it it's only an
issue of miltiple leafs linked.
basicly there's another issue of service not being able to understand
extended ban ~c and extended ban ~r which are another reason why this might
happen.
~c:#channel*name should be check against all channel names the user is in
and ~r:real_n*ame should be check against the realname of the user having
all spaces replaced to _. other extended bans don't affect joining.

Correct; but this is not the issue. This channel had ~10 other people on 
there, and I've seen it happen on larger.

I've seen this myself when services kicked someone on a channel akick 
list (set restricted off), after restarting services it did add the ban 
the next time the user joined. having only seen it once and nothing else 
out of the ordinary happening it seems impossible to reproduce at whim.

this was also on 5.0.55 stock standard no modules, using Unreal 3.2.3

     The most likely possibility (on Services' side) is that the channel
in question has an extended exception that doesn't include a usermask,
such as c: or r:.  To be honest, I'm at a loss at what to do about these,
especially since Unreal allows modules to add further types; for 5.1 I'm
half-inclined to just forbid extended bans/exceptions entirely (by
clearing anything that users try to set), but I'd be interested in hearing
other ideas.

     With regard to the AKICK issue, if someone could apply the patch below
to modules/chanserv/check.c and post the debug log messages generated when
the problem occurs, I'd appreciate it.

fyi : the only time i have seen this happen there were no normal or
extended bans at all placed on the channel at the time.

        Indeed, I recall the channel that this happened on having no bans at
all.  Or well, the IRC server didn't think there were any...
        I'd also like to throw a note that it would be highly annoying to have
Services up and remove all extended bans that user's place.  I think
it's something that can pretty much be accepted that if one installs a
module that adds an extended ban -- it simply won't work with Services.
 I'd rather see support for the built in extended bans and simply ignore
other extended bans.  Or perhaps only do that when a configuration
option is set to ignore them so that an administrator must understand
the ramifications of doing so.  And if that isn't set, remove unknown
extended bans.  I don't feel like this is a "good solution" but I feel
like outright removing support for extended bans is a far worse one.

Indeed, banlist:

#helpers guest*!*@* set by Ib (Fri Mar 17 05:10:52)
#helpers *!viroteck@*.AA6527E2.37EDBD53.IP set by ChanServ (Thu Mar 16
18:31:07)
#helpers *!Pete@*.6819D140.C57AC8D4.IP set by ChanServ (Thu Mar 16 13:35:25)
#helpers End of Channel Ban List

guest*!*@* being the one that matched me eventually. All standard bans.

I believe services should work with default configuration, adding additional
extended bans is done via modules and with the exception of the regexp
ban/exception i've seen, almost none of them block join, thus i recommend
supporting the 2 defaults, channel and realname.

Yes, by looking at the CABAP message sent on connection you would be
able to error out if the IRCd didn't have the appropriate modules. See:

I am working on a bunch of modules (all of which are going very well).  2 of
my modules need to be able to see all PMs sent to a channel (not just
messages that start with !).  I'm just wondering if there is a way to do
this within the module itself.  I am trying to avoid modding the ircservices
code.

I also wanted to thank the makers of ircservices, I think it provides the
best services for IRC.

You will need to get a Services pseudoclient to join that channel, 
unless you're using some form of bizarre, horribly modified IRCd.

This is my first time using a mailing list so I hope I am replying correctly
(sorry if I'm not).  I allready have the pseudoclient join the channel.  But
the m_privmsg callback only picks up on channel messages that start with !.
It assumes that anything after the ! is a command.

seems somewhat odd behavior.. What version of IRCServices are you using? 
Also, make sure your pseudoclient doesn't have the +d user mode (deaf, 
only applies to some IRCds)

I'm sure you'll find that is IRCd behaviour, and not Services. Services 
don't expect to recieve any channel messages, so the '!' behaviour won't 
be built in there.

I've done similar before, so I know this is the case ;p.

Thanks everyone, it was mode d (unreal ircd) that was causing the problem.
For unreal, by default mode d will let the client recieve anything starting
with !.

Message-ID: <ce4fe3510603291954n7360557obfdb01edc786e0e5@mail.gmail.com>

I am about 99% done with my LogServ module but I have run into 2 issues.

1.  I can't find out how to get the channel mode changes that were made to
the channel using the "channel mode change" callback:
static int do_channel_mode_change(const char *source, Channel *c);

2.  This module logs user joins but everytime ircservices starts up, the
join callback is called for each user that is allready in the channel.  I
tried using is_on_chan() but I guess until services has fully started up, it
doesn't realize that the users are in the channel.

Thanks for everyone's help

     The callback only informs you of the fact that the modes have changed.
If you want to know exactly what has changed, you'll need to keep your own
copy of the modes (c->mode) for each channel.  I may change this for 5.1.

     This is because of the way IRC works: when a server joins the network,
all users are treated as if they had just joined the channels they are in.
There's no way around this without rewriting the IRC protocol.

Thank you very much Andrew.  I do have on last question that I forgot to ask
earlier.  Is it possible to see the source of a channel kick with the
"channel KICK" callback? Basicly the user that did the kick is what I am
referring to.
static int do_channel_kick(Channel *c, User *u, const char *reason);

     Not currently.  I'll consider adding this for 5.1 as well.

Message-ID: <ce4fe3510604111708u5cc04e77kf3c1dc26410469@mail.gmail.com>

I have 2 modules im working on.  One of them (OtherServ) needs to access a
function from the other (BotServ).  I have been stuck on this simple thing
for many hours.

I get this error when starting ircservices:
"modules: Unable to load module `otherserv/main':
/home/farklem/ircservices/lib/modules/otherserv/main.so: undefined symbol:
get_botserv_id"

So far this is what I have done with no luck:

1. Added "E int get_botserv_id(const char *chan);" to botserv.h
2. Added #include "modules/botserv/botserv.h" to main.c for BotServ.
3. Added this to main.c for BotServ:

EXPORT_FUNC(get_botserv_id)
int get_botserv_id(const char *chan)
{
     return 0; // Just for testing purposes.
}

4. Edited the Makefile for BotServ to include botserv.h
5. Added #include "modules/botserv/botserv.h" to main.c for OtherServ.
6. Edited the Makefile for OtherServ to include botserv.h

Sorry if that is confusing but I had a hard time figuring out the best way
to organize it.

Subject: [IRCServices Coding] Addition to UnrealIRCd that Services could use
Message-ID: <debb3bc0604220807g11b4d5dbya4cf55ba6c5e77b3@mail.gmail.com>

Here's something added in Unreal that Services can use.

To quote from the changelog:

- [Services coders!] Added PROTOCTL CLK (requires NICKv2) which adds
an extra field in the
  NICK command (when a user connects) right before the infofield (gecos).
  The added field contains the cloaked host, that is: the masked host
if +x would have been
  set. This field is ALWAYS sent, regardless of whether the user is
actually +x or not.
  Services can then store this field in memory, to know the host of
the user if the user
  is set +x (+x-t). This is a (better) alternative to PROTOCTL VHP,
with no race conditions,
  and avoids some other VHP problems.
  VHP will stay supported though... so it's not mandatory to switch over.


As implied, it's up to you whether or not to support this.

     Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the next time I have a chance to

up all my time and then some...)

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release is partly to put out fixes for various bugs I've come
across or seen mentioned, but also to let you know that I'm still alive,
more or less. (:  I'm also making progress (albeit slowly) on the technical
manual, and those of you who are technically inclined may want to take a
look at it; it's in the docs/tech subdirectory of the tarball, or online at
    http://www.ircservices.esper.net/download/testing/docs/tech/
(I really ought to get things moved back to .za.net one of these days...)

Changes in version 5.1a7
------------------------
2006/06/03      Fixed handling of language strings added by modules in
                    external language files.
2006/06/02      Fixed a rare case in which a timed event could fail to be
                    executed, and ensure that extremely long timeouts
                    (>25 days) are not called immediately.
2006/06/01      Added robustness to mode character/flag conversion functions.
2006/05/31      Fixed infinite loop in ignore code when a single command
                    takes longer to execute than the time specified in the
                    IgnoreDecay configuration directive.
2006/05/31      Fixed bug that could potentially cause the log file to be
                    rotated in the middle of writing a log message.
2006/05/31      Cleaned up restart handling.
2006/05/31      Fixed bug causing missing parameters in a configuration
                    directive to get zeroed rather than keeping their
                    previous values.
2006/05/31      Fixed cosmetic bug causing "BUG" message to be logged when
                    deprecated configuration directives are used.
2006/04/14      Fixed bug allowing infinite join/kick loops on autokick
                    when Unreal extended bantypes are in use.
2006/04/14      Fixed bug causing Services to split from InspIRCd servers
                    without the m_globops.so module loaded.  Reported by
                    <techie101@gmail.com>
2006/03/22      Logging initialization moved earlier, to catch any
                    unexpected log messages before the log file is opened.
2006/03/22      Fixed a critical error in the supplied [v]snprintf() which
                    allowed the output to exceed the specified maximum
                    length.
2006/03/20      Corrected a design defect in the hash table implementation
                    creating the potential for entries to get lost after
                    irc_lowertable[] modifications.

     I've (belatedly) added this for the next release: the callback will
take a fourth parameter, const char *source.

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     Aside from the changes in 5.0.58, this release fixes several bugs of
varying severity in the socket and configuration file handling code.  I've
also added 64-bit integer types (int64 and uint64), which are checked for
by the configure script; you'll now need a compilation environment that
supports either int64_t or a 64-bit long or long long type in order to
compile Services (hopefully everybody has that by now).

Changes in version 5.1a9
------------------------
2006/06/22      Fixed bug in configuration file handling causing
                    function-processed directives like LoadModule to break.
2006/06/22      Added int64 and uint64 types, and added a check to
                    configure to find appropriate system types for them.
2006/06/22      Added robustness to socket code in out-of-memory conditions.
2006/06/22      Changed select() call to not assume that the timeval struct
                    is valid after the call.
2006/06/22      Changed the socket code to use recv() and send() on sockets
                    instead of read() and write().
2006/06/22      Fixed potential bug causing accepted sockets' mute status
                    to get out of sync with internal tables.
2006/06/22      Corrected handling of nested socket callbacks.
2006/06/22      Renamed NET_MIN_BUFSIZE constant to SOCK_MIN_BUFSIZE, and
                    moved it from defs.h to sockets.h.
2006/06/19      Fixed a typo in the OperServ AKILL/SLINE CLEAR syntax
                    message.  Reported by <RealCFC@chatfirst.com>

Hello, IRC.

Some good guys do regular attacks on my irc network using many
different hosts in parallel. Very often, this is done using open proxies.
Is this possible to implement simple port scanning algorithm to
detect clients with many open tcp ports (or detect blacklisted port
numbers or ranges of them) and block the connection? The problem is
real one. Help please. Server software is bahamut-based fork with
support of Russian codepages translation.

I'm sure, that the nickserv.h is included, any ideas?

     I'll need to see a backtrace to be able to look into the problem.
Either start Services from inside GDB (use the -nofork option to Services
when running it), or reconfigure with the -dumpcore option to force
Services to dump core when a segmentation fault occurs and do a backtrace
on the core file.

Subject: [IRCServices Coding] Services 5.1a11 released
Message-ID: <45794ef9.71107@msgid.achurch.org>

     Services 5.1a11 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

http://www.ircservices.za.net/download/testing/   (Japan)
ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/testing/          (Western USA)

4c46c4a600d742bd06c8528caee4d3bc  ircservices-5.1a11.tar.gz
196e3fcca6e86001ae4b72ccef63507e  ircservices-5.1a11.diff.gz
7de244b51a88bce35ffc956edcfee138  ircservices-5.1a11-1.i386.rpm
adc4c9f32f19135ad93329476b0a7584  ircservices_5.1a11-1_i386.deb

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     At last, the first draft of the technical manual (docs/tech/index.html)
is complete!  The manual should provide guidance to future developers, and
has also brought to my attention a number of problems with the current code,
some of which have been fixed in this version and the rest of which will be
addressed in future alpha releases.

     The Spanish translation has also been updated for 5.1, thanks to
<RealCFC@chatfirst.com>.

Changes in version 5.1a11
-------------------------
2006/12/08      Merged section 6 of the user's manual (on adding features
                    to Services) into the technical manual.
2006/12/08      Removed unused read/write macros from
                    modules/database/fileutil.h.
2006/12/08      Fixed bug causing the "shutdown" parameter to modules'
                    cleanup functions to always be nonzero.
2006/12/06      Removed all remaining "press Enter" warning prompts from
                    configure, making it fully automated.
2006/12/06      Clarified that missing system functions (strtok(), etc.)
                    detected by configure do not prevent Services from
                    being compiled and run.  Also updated the warning for
                    a missing gethostbyname().
2006/11/09      The httpd/top-page module now explicitly returns an error
                    if the specified file cannot be read, rather than
                    deferring to a subsequent handler.
2006/11/03      Added workaround for NULL masks in autokick lists.  Reported
                    by Gabriel Baez <gabriel.baez@solid-ircd.com>
2006/10/29      Fixed the encryption/unix-crypt module to allow crypt()
                    results longer than 13 characters and to not truncate
                    the final character of a PASSMAX-length password.
2006/10/01      ChanServ OP/VOICE/etc. now check that the target user is on
                    the channel before performing privilege checks; PROTECT
                    is now disallowed on auto-deop users.
2006/09/26      Merged modules/chanserv/autokick.c back into main.c.
2006/08/16      Updated documentation to reflect new domain name.
