This change modifies extb_channel to allow matching users in secret
channels, which prevents trivial ban evasion by setting the target
channel +s. Information leak due to this change is unlikely since the
attacker would have to know that the target channel exists, the name of
the channel (or guess it), have a specific user they wanted to know
whether was in the channel (and not know already), and the target user
would need to have something like autojoin-on-invite enabled (or any of
the other various ways hostname cloaking is attacked).
Add REHASH SSLD (admins only) that starts new sslds and marks the
existing ones as inactive until all their clients disconnect.
Very useful whenever the SSL library has a vulnerability because
new connections can use a new version of the library without
disconnecting existing clients/servers.
Add STATS S (admins only) to list ssld processes, status, and client
count.
What is done here:
1. All the outdated configuration flag information has been removed and
replaced with the more current information.
2. Spellchecking has been done on all helpfiles and the actual errors
have been fixed.
Add two mechanism for avoiding name-collisions in a system-wide
installation of charybdis. The ssld and bandb daemons, intended to be
directly used by ircd and not the user, install into libexec when
--enable-fhs-paths is set. For binaries which are meant to be in PATH
(bindir), such as ircd and viconf, there is now an option
--with-program-prefix=progprefix inspired by automake. If the user
specifies --with-program-prefix=charybdis, the ircd binary is named
charybdisircd when installed.
Add support for saving the pidfile to a rundir and storing the ban
database in localstatedir instead of in sysconfdir. This is, again,
conditional on --enable-fhs-paths.
Fix(?) genssl.sh to always write created SSL key/certificate/dh
parameters to the sysconfdir specified during ./configure. The
previous behavior was to assume that the user ran genssl.sh after
ensuring that his current working directory was either sysconfdir or a
sibling directory of sysconfdir.
