Raw Blame History

==============================================================================
2021.02.20 * Added -new suffixed web sql database files to use with the official webpage
Original files are kept for optional use with the original-old-webpage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced database migration, or complete rebuilt of the database required
==============================================================================
2020.06.26 * FIX/UPDATE: Newly created users are created with no last_seen data
so without login within one day they expire.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beside the usual update procedure, you must enter into postgresql command line:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql cservice
and execute the command:
cservice=# DROP TRIGGER t_new_user ON users;
In case of new installation this step is not necessary!
==============================================================================
2020.06.12 * cservice HELLO now sends out a real email with the generated password
* cservice NEWPASS now clears TOTP authentication data as well!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The feature has to be enabled in cservice.conf:
hello_sendmail_enabled = 1
** IMPORTANT: mailutils or mailx package must be installed on your system!
For normal users NEWPASS command now can act as Password recovery in case the user is not logged in!
(For admins no change in the behavior)
If the user is logged in, the original new password generation mechanism applies.
So the new syntax is:
NEWPASS <new passphrase|username>
So for example a user lost it's password and is NOT logged in,
can recover it's password by passing the username as parameter, for example:
/msg x@channels.yournetwork.org NEWPASS SomeUser
otherwise if IS logged in, just want to change it's password:
/msg x@channels.yournetwork.org NEWPASS NewPassword
==============================================================================
2020.04.26 * SETHOST: Prevent setting some restricted/reserved hostnames
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restricted/reserved hostnames are set in cservice.conf.
Any number of "reservedHost = " entry is allowed.
To restrict admins/opers to set restricted/reserved hostnames edit
mod.cservice/cservice_config.h
#undef ADMINS_USE_RESTRICTED_SETHOSTS
==============================================================================
2016.02.18 * Added halfop support: mod.cservice HALFOPCommand and HALFDEOPCommand
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To enable halfop command in mod.cservice you must
#define USING_NEFARIOUS
#define USE_HALFOPS
in mod.cservice/cservice_config.h
The syntax is very similar to op and deop.
/msg X halfop <#channel> [nick1 nick2 nick3]
/msg X haldefop <#channel> [nick1 nick2 nick3]
Warning! This feature requires Nefarious2 with it's halfop support.
Warning! Don't forget to enable halfops in ircd.conf:
"HALFOPS" = "TRUE";
If you have an existing installation, to upgrade read README-DO-UPDATES.txt
==============================================================================
2016.02.04 * Recognizing and handling Nefarious2's cloaked IP and cloaked Host
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you set "HOST_HIDING_STYLE" greater than 1 in Nefarious2's ircd.conf
gnuworld now will recognize the cloaked style
==============================================================================
2016.01.08 * Prevent users to set 'exotic' hostnames, like with colors, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You might find lame to see colored/bolded/etc. hostnames, so if you enable
#define VALIDATE_SET_HOSTNAME
in mod.cservice/cservice_config.h only normal characters will be allowed.
Also it is a possibility of confusion/abuse to allow users to set hosts
with the network's hidden-host-suffix(eg. something.users.yournetwork.org)
so this is not allowed from now on.
============================================================================
2016.01.07 * Added mod.cservice SCANCommand
First puropse: find owner user of a nickname
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To find an owner of a nickname:
/msg X scan nick|nickname <nick>
==============================================================================
2016.01.07 * mod.cservice NEWPASS: Admins can set target users a new password
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Admins above access level level::newpass can set target users a new password:
Syntax:
/msg X@channels.yournetwork.org newpass <targetUser> <target New Password>
Note: Changing own password remained valid as originally:
/msg X@channels.yournetwork.org newpass <your new password>
==============================================================================
2016.01.06 * Nick protection through mod.cservice (nickreg/nickserv function)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning! This feature requires Nefarious2 with it's svsnick support.
Warning! This feature requires to patch Nefarious2 for a proper svsnick handling. Read README-DO-UPDATES.txt!
Also USING_NEFARIOUS must be #define in mod.cservice/cservice_config.h
If you have an existing installation, to upgrade read README-DO-UPDATES.txt
This nick protection works through an svsnick nick changing mechanism by gnuworld.
For the cservice user structure is added a nickname field, so gnuworld takes care any nick on the network is used by the 'right person'
by force-changing and generating an arbitrary 4 digits numbers ended nickname.
Syntax:
/msg X set nick|nickname <TheNick>
To clear any nickname:
/msg X set nick|nickname OFF
or simply
/msg X set nick|nickname
Also coders/admins with (levels.h -> level::nickset) access can set nickname for a target username.
/msg X set nick|nickname <targetUser> <targetNewNickname>
There is a new user flag too, AUTONICK:
/msg X set autonick <ON|OFF>
If it is ON, on login the saved nickname will be set for the client.
==============================================================================
2016.01.06 * Set welcome message-notice for channel joins through X
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The command syntax for setting welcome message for a channel:
/msg X set #channel_name welcome <welcome_message>
To clear any welcome message:
/msg X set #channel_name welcome OFF
or simply
/msg X set #channel_name welcome
Done.
You can see the welcome message on any channel join.
==============================================================================
2015.08.06 * Set (fake)hostname for users
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning! This feature requires Nefarious2 with it's Fake host support.
If you have an existing installation, to upgrade read README-DO-UPDATES.txt
The command syntax for setting a hostname for a username:
/msg X set hostname <anyhost.youwant.com>
To clear your hostname use:
/msg X set hostname off
The set hostname will be applied instantaneously (if +x), and on every login with +x
insted of the default users hiddenhost suffix
==============================================================================
* Status * command shows currently logged in officials
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/msg X status *
-X- Status of currently logged '*' officials:
-X- Auth: SomeUser1/SomeNick1 (1000) SomeUser2/SomeNick2 (750) SomeUser3/SomeNick31 SomeNick32 (750) SomeUser4/SomeNick4 (600)
Note: The original function of status * is moved to stats *
==============================================================================
* Suspension of users on channels with reason
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-X- SYNTAX: SUSPEND <#channel> <username> [duration] [level] [reason]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-X- Your reason must be 2 - 300 charcters long.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> *x* access #coder-com Seven
-X- USER: Seven ACCESS: 499 L
-X- CHANNEL: #coder-com -- AUTOMODE: None
-X- *** SUSPENDED *** - Expires in 0 days, 00:09:48 (Level 400)
-X- Reason: Not proper behavior
-X- LAST SEEN: 0 days, 10:13:18 ago.

-X- UNSUSPENDED - I forgive you this time
-X- LAST SEEN: 0 days, 10:16:09 ago.
-X- End of access list
If the suspension expires, no reason will be show.
If no reason is supplied, reason will be "No reason supplied"
==============================================================================
* NOTEs is accessible for normal users too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes can be used to bother the another, and maybe admins don't even want to get notes from normal users, for
this I introduced config lines in "cservice_config.h"
#define USE_NOTES
/**
* Do you want normal users to use the Noteserv functionality?
*/
#define USE_USERS_NOTES
/**
* Normal users can send notes to admins?
*/
#define USERS_NOTE_ADMINS
It can be choose between only admins use notes, admins and users, and admins can or cannot get notes from users.
An ignore option might be advisable.
==============================================================================

The from-IRC accept is superior realtive to web-accept, because it's no needed any sychronization time betweeen gnuworld and web,
the channel chache is refreshed instantaneously, +R appear, X can be asked to join immediately.
-X- Your reason must be 2 - 300 charcters long.
=============================================================================

-X- Your verification answer must be 4 - 300 charcters long.
=============================================================================
<EFBFBD>* Channel REGISTER and HELLO commands take into account NOREG/LOCKED's
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> *x* hello duckyjoe duckyjoe_2001@yahoo.com duckyjoe_2001@yahoo.com 2 Rexy
-X- Invalid username (NOREG)
-X- Usernames matching *ducky* are disallowed for the following reason:

-X- Invalid email address (NOREG)
-X- Email addresses matching *ducky* are disallowed for the following reason:

*** Also for locked verification answer ***
In cservice_config.h i'v separated 2 config line:
#define ALLOW_HELLO ==> enable HELLO command only for admins
#define ALLOW_USERS_HELLO ==> enable HELLO command for admins and users
Note: If HELLO is not enabled for admins, than also will not be for users.
Note2: Admins with access level above level::hello defined in mod.cservice/levels.h can bypass NOREG/LOCKED's, etc.
Tha same story for REGISTER command. (cheking for NOREG/LOCKED email, username, verification answer
+ target user must be logged in at least once on IRC
Note: Admins with access level above level::immune::registercmd defined in levels.h can bypass NOREG/LOCKED's, etc.
=============================================================================
<EFBFBD>* POWER user flag, enables almighty admins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/msg X set POWER [targetuser] ON|OFF
Many networks asked for a possbility of 'special' admins, with absolute administrative power, to be able to set another 1000 admin,
remove, etc.
Userid 1 always has the capability to set itself as POWER, other users can get only from an another POWER-ed user.
The POWER flag is visible in user info only to an another POWER-ed admin, for normal admins is not listed.
=============================================================================
<EFBFBD>* SPECIAL channel flag is used for prevention of setting normal accesses above 499
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logic dictate to not to allow to set accesses above 500, except for some special cases, those with SPECIAL channel flag:
-> *x* adduser #cservice Seven 501
-X- Access levels on regular channels cannot exceed 499 (except SPECIAL)
-> *x* adduser #cservice Seven 499
-X- Added user Seven to #cservice with access level 499
-> *x* modinfo #cservice access Seven 501
-X- Access levels on regular channels cannot exceed 499 (except SPECIAL)
=============================================================================
<EFBFBD>* Expiration<6F>of users for more than 60 days are automatical from the gnuworld's internal timer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In mod.cservice/ in cservice.h/cservice.cc it is declared a new timer looking after users expiration.
This can be fine tuned within cservice.example.conf
"users_expire_days"
config line.
For this, and for the channel expiration it is valid the
"hour_seconds" and "day_seconds" config lines.
The "users_db_idle" is the time interval in hours to check the users for the lastseen value.
=============================================================================
* Expiration of channels<6C>within gnuworld, with setting the proper MIA, LOCKED,<2C>DESC, URL's
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is well known the steps of channel expiration, this does the same in automatic way.
In cservice.example.conf there are config lines for this
#
# Frequncy for check database for for channels for missing managers(in hours)
# cannot be 0, default 3 will be used
channels_db_idle = 1
# Set hour length in seconds
# (appliabale only for "new" features user and channel expires
# cannot be 0; 1 will be used
hour_seconds = 3600
# Set day length in seconds
# (appliabale only for "new" features user and channel expires
# cannot be 0; 1 will be used
day_seconds = 86400
#
# Set MIA flag on channels where manager missing for
# 0 = never expire
MIA_start_days = 21
#
# Purge MIA flagged channels after
#
MIA_end_days = 30
#
# Description for MIA starting period
#
MIA_start_desc = Manager has failed to login. To vote for new manager send mail to cservice@undernet.org
#
# MIA URL
#
MIA_URL = Only 400+ Ops
#
# Description for MIA ending period (manager has logged in)
#
MIA_end_desc = Manager has logged in. This was the last warning for failure to login
If the manager has logged in in the MIA period, a CAUTION channel flag will be set (LOCKED,MIA will be removed),
what will cause an immediate channel purge next time when the manager fails to log in in time.
=============================================================================
* Automode VOICE/OP are Not allowed in any kind below the required access levels.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone knows that automode voice/op can be set starting with 1 access. This is an issue to fix,
So:
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com access Seven 24
-X- Modified Seven's access level on channel #coder-com to 24
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com automode seven op
-X- Target user Seven on channel #coder-com has insufficient access for an automode OP
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com automode seven voice
-X- Target user Seven on channel #coder-com has insufficient access for an automode VOICE
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com access Seven 25
-X- Modified Seven's access level on channel #coder-com to 25
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com automode seven voice
-X- Set AUTOMODE to VOICE for Seven on channel #coder-com
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com automode seven op
-X- Target user Seven on channel #coder-com has insufficient access for an automode OP
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com access Seven 99
-X- Modified Seven's access level on channel #coder-com to 99
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com automode seven op
-X- Target user Seven on channel #coder-com has insufficient access for an automode OP
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com access Seven 100
-X- Modified Seven's access level on channel #coder-com to 100
-> *x* modinfo #coder-com automode seven op
-X- Set AUTOMODE to OP for Seven on channel #coder-com
In addition if channel has a userflag VOICE/OP, when the access level is modified to the required level, it will get the automode,
if the access is modified below, it will be lost, set to NONE.
=============================================================================
* RENAMECommand of the usernames
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-X- SYNTAX: RENAME <old_username> <new_username>
-> *x* rename seven George
-X- Successfully renamed username Seven to George
It is required an admin access level level::rename in mod.cservice/levels.h
=============================================================================
* Reimplemented NOFORCE channel flag
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noforce channel flag prevents admins to force themselves on a channel.
-> *x* set #cservice noforce on
-X- NOFORCE for #cservice is ON
-X- Channel #cservice has 2 users (2 operators)
-X- Mode is: +tnR
-X- I'm currently in this channel.
-X- MassDeopPro: 3
-X- Flags set: NOFORCE AUTOJOIN
-X- Auth:
-> *x* force #cservice
-X- The NOFORCE flag is set on #cservice
Requires an adminlevel level::set::noforce
=============================================================================
* Implemented NOVOICE channel flag, homologous as NOOP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/msg X set #anychan NOVOICE <on|off>
=============================================================================
* REGISTER command is available to normal users, to start a new channel registration from irc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/msg X register #channel
and than follow X's instructions!
The admin registration method remains:
/msg X register #channel [targetuser]
=============================================================================
* NOTAKE channel flag prevents 'takeover' banning *!*@* through X
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/msg X set #channel NOTAKE <on|off>
The revenge action can be 3 types:
/msg X set #channel TAKEREVENGE <IGNORE|BAN|SUSPEND>
IGNORE - simply will do nothing on ban *!*@*
BAN - will ban and kick the person for 100 days at level 500
SUSPEND - will ban and kick and suspend for 100 days 500 level
=============================================================================
* PURGE command can delete users too
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/msg X purge <#channel|username>
If a username is provided, then will delete it.
=============================================================================
* Other minor enhancements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* On Channel join (bursting channels) X looks after NOOP and NOVOICE channel flag, and deop/devoice everyone.
* Ban nicklength is now 50 instead of maximum of 15, ident legth is 25 instead of 12.
* Channel description length is now can be 128 charcters long, url is 75 charcters long.
Don't forget to adjust ircu's values too if needed.
* On user suspension on a channel, all logged clients corresponding the suspended account will be deopped instantaneously.
* On global user suspension, all clients corresponding to logged user, on all channels where is opped will be deopped instantaneously.
