1. CREDITS
Blitzed Services are based on ircservices 4.4.8 copyright Andy
Church and Andrew Kempe. Additional development of Blitzed Services has
been done by the Blitzed Services Team for the benefit of the Blitzed IRC
Network.
2. INTRODUCTION
Please thoroughly read all the ircservices documentation in the
old-docs/ directory, ircservices provide the real backbone of Blitzed and
Blitzed Services as they are now could never have existed without the work that
Andrew Church et al have done on ircservices. Please do not expect to get
support for Blitzed Services from ircservices mailing lists and developers,
however. If you need some help you can find us in #blitzed on the server
irc.blitzed.org.
Blitzed Services are tested and developed solely for dalnet's Bahamut
ircd. Please don't ask for support of any other ircd. Provided you have
a network of Bahamut ircds, Blitzed will happily provide nickname and
channel services for you.
3. REACHING THE AUTHORS
We can be found on irc.blitzed.org in #blitzed, though email is much better
for detailed discussion. You can email us at [email protected].
4. SERVICES PUBLIC MAILING LIST
There is also a public mailing list, [email protected], for
discussion of, and announcements regarding, Services. The list is unmoderated,
but you must be subscribed to the list in order to post to it. To subscribe,
send an E-mail message to:
with the following in the body of the message:
subscribe <your-address>
where <your-address> is your E-mail address (without the angle brackets).
Unsubscription works the same way, but use "unsubscribe" instead of
"subscribe".
5. CHANGES
Here follows a brief list of features/changes.
- Version 3.0.18, 10th September 2002
Fixed MemoServ crash when MemoServ SEND was used with no arguments.
Again fixed the "This nickname is itself a linked nick" nick typo, as
the last change was mistakenly backed out.
Fixed ChanServ crash when trying to delete an unregistered nick
from a channel access list.
- Version 3.0.17, 6th September 2002
Fixed a typo that caused services to crash when NickServ LIST was
used to view SUSPENDED nicks.
Fixed a typo that caused garbled "This nickname is itself a linked
nick" messages.
Fixed a coding error that would allow anyone to set the last quit
time and message for any of your linked nicks, as long as you were
identified to one of the nicks at the time.
Fixed typo that was preventing AKILLs from expiring properly.
Added a simple check to stop people trying to run Services with
MySQL 3.x, which is not supported.
NSExtraGrace and CSExtraGrace options, which allow long-time users
more leeway on nick and channel expiry, were implemented.
Massive changes made between November 2001 and August 2002 to produce a version
of ircservices with a custom MySQL backend. Blitzed Services 3.x is born.
- Version 2.0.14, 29th November 2001
A Services Admin command to alter the registration time for
arbitrary nicks was added.
NickServ REGAIN security problem fixed by recording the unique
ID of the user issuing the REGAIN command.
Problems with the display format of ChanServ AKICK VIEW fixed.
Crash related to channels setting AOP level negative was fixed.
- Version 2.0.13, 16th September 2001
Services now automatically restarts when it loses contact with its
uplink.
All AKILLs are now placed in lowercase, since parts of services and
ircd were case sensitive.
Services is now capable of NICKIP, a bahamut extension which
propogates every user's IP address across the network. The
practical benefit of this is that Services can now operate with
both host names and IP addresses in AKICKs, NickServ ACCESS lists,
EXCEPTION lists, AKILLS and so on.
An example crontab script to periodically check and restart
services has been added.
ChanServ SYNC was added in order to allow users to more easily
remove the effects of any desync that may occur.
The NickServ REGAIN command was disabled due to reported flaws
that resulted in a nickname being lost. The command will remain
disabled until we can get to the bottom of the matter.
A channel is now regarded as "last used" whenver any member of the
channel has cause to use their access in any manner. Previously,
a channel's "last used" time was only updated when a user became
opped on join by ChanServ. This led to expiry of the channel
after 30 days. (Reported by #thefalls and RuneGod, sorry!)
Extra ChanServ ACCESS information is now available using ChanServ
ACCESS VIEW. Extra information:
- Time the access was added
- Who added it (their nick at the time)
- Time the access was last modified
- Who modified it (their nick at the time)
- Time the access was last used
- Time the owner of the access last read channel memos
Minor code cleanups for the vop/aop/sop functions and access list
sorting routines.
Extra ChanServ AKICK information is now available using ChanServ
AKICK VIEW:
- Time AKICK was added
- Time AKICK was last used
Better usage notices for NickServ RECOVER and ChanServ OP.
(Reported by blitz and dg respectively)
If a channel has new memos since the last time they were read this
is now reported to users on-join. A notice is also sent to users
who are in the channel at the time a memo is sent to the channel.
The MEMO ChanServ LEVEL setting has been broken up into MEMO-SEND
and MEMO-READ, so that founders may allow people to read, but not
send channel memos.
A new ChanServ LEVEL setting was added: AKICK-LIST. This allows
use of the ChanServ AKICK LIST and VIEW commands alone.
AKILL policy has been changed. Now any global oper may add an
AKILL that lasts no more than 12 hours and affects no more than 20
people at once. They may remove AKILLs placed by themselves only.
Services Opers and Services Admins may place AKILLs of arbitrary
duration affecting any number of users. Services Admins may
additionally override the "wildcard threshold" by using the FORCE
parameter.
- Version 2.0.12, 23rd May 2001
Removed ability for non-opers to add or remove mode O (oper-only
channel) in a channel's MLOCK. Reported by [email protected].
Updated informational message from NickServ REGISTER which was pointing
users at a nonexistant help file regarding hiding their email address.
Fixed typo in original ircservices code which allowed FORBIDDEN
channels to still be dropped by their founder.
ChanServ OP command is now more stringent about who it ops when
channel is set SECURE or SECUREOPS. If a channel is set SECURE
then the target nick must be identified to NickServ. If the
channel is set SECUREOPS then the target nick needs to be on the
access list at level AUTOOP or higher.
- Version 2.0.10, 26th February 2001
Removing code for other ircds introduced two major bugs: ChanServ
started joining channels in order to enforce AutoKicks, and AutoKills
no longer expired correctly. Both these bugs were fixed.
Minor fixes to help files.
- Version 2.0.9, 15th February 2001
Users may now change nick between their linked nicknames without
needing to re-identify to services.
Fixed problem where AutoKills placed due to exceeding session
limits (cloning) could not be removed.
Renamed ChanServ SET OPNOTICE option to VERBOSE. All uses of
ChanServ on VERBOSE channels are logged to the channel operators
in the form of a notice.
Added support for the new Blitzed channel mode +a (Anonymous Ops).
Minor changes to helpfiles and MOTD information.
- Version 2.0.7, 31st January 2001
Andrew Church released ircservices-4.5pre. Blitzed Services is
based on ircservices 4.4.8 and so this upgrade mainly merges
in any applicable or desired new features.
Support for ircd's other than Bahamut (and blitzed versions of it)
removed.
RFC compliant string matching (from ircservices-4.5pre) so that
nicks and channels with []{}\| in them behave correctly.
Fixed bug where a channel founder whose nick was dropped or
expired whilst they were also on the channel's access list would
leave the access list corrupted. (from ircservices-4.5pre).
Number of channels registered is now checked on nick link.
(from ircservices-4.5pre).
Fixed bug where a channel's successor could also be made the
founder. (from ircservices-4.5pre).
Fixed cosmetic bug where setting only +l or +k as a modelock
would report the modelock as cleared. (from ircservices-4.5pre).
Fixed bug where ChanServ CLEAR MODES wasn't clearing mode +O
OperServ STATS ALL now shows separate memory usage for MemoServ.
(from ircservices-4.5pre).
Services will now reopen logfiles when it receives SIGUSR2
(from ircservices-4.5pre).
Mixed time intervals are now allowed (e.g. 1h30m) (from
ircservices-4.5pre).
Simpler Guest-nick generation algorithm. (from ircservices-4.5pre).
Cleaned up problems with nick linking (from ircservices-4.5pre).
Fixed "Currently online" being shown in NickServ INFO even when the
(from ircservices-4.5pre).
Support for services stamps to enhance split recovery.
Added support for +a user mode (services admin). Non-services
admins trying to set this mode will have it taken from them. This
still needs some work, but it basically is working okay.
Better Turkish translation, courtesy of SuPeRGiRL.
- Version 2.0.6, 25th January 2001
Emergency fixes to NickServ LISTCHANS internals which were causing
random segmentation faults of services.
- Version 2.0.5, 24th January 2001
NickServ LISTCHANS command added, which allows users to list all
channels in which they have access. Services admins can specify
any nick.
NSRegExtraInfo config option added. An optional string to send
to users as a notice when they register a nickname.
NickServ LISTLINKS modified to allow users to use this command
on their own nicks.
MemoServ GLOBALSEND, OPERSEND and CSOPSEND added, to send memos
to all registered nicks, all registered IRC operators and all
services operators, respectively.
"ALL" option added to MemoServ READ to allow all memos to be
sent, whether previously unread or not.
NickServ LIST now has an option to match nicks set as IRC
operators.
OperServ AKILL VIEW now shows the full time and date of the
AutoKill as opposed to just the date.
- Version 2.0.4, 20th January 2001
Fixed denial of service when massive ranges were specified, e.g.
/msg memoserv del 1-9999999999999999 would cause services to
loop until it pinged out.
Added a wallops to notify opers of a new max user count.
Wallops sent when autokills are added and deleted were made more
verbose.
NickServ REGAIN command added. "/msg nickserv regain nick pass"
will kill "nick", change your nick to nick and then identify you
to services, provided that your password is correct.
- Version 2.0.2, 9th January 2001
Fixes to help files after NickServ KILL was removed.
Fixed wrongly formatted reports to the snoop channel when services
admins used NickServ SET on other users.
The appropriate users are now notified immediately when a new item
of oper news or logon news is added.
Modifying an access list with the VOP/AOP/SOP commands could cause
it to become disordered, this has now been fixed.
As of version 2.0.1 channel access lists were sorted by access
level, but entries of equal access level were randomly placed.
Entries with the same level are now sorted alphabetically.
/info services.* now displays the correct information.
New channel LEVELS LEV-CHANGE and LEV-LIST allow channel founders
to decide who can list their levels settings (/msg ChanServ levels
#channel list) and who can change them.
ChanServ LIST is now case insensitive.
ChanServ CLEAR MODES now clears mode +R (only allow registered
nicknames into the channel).
NickServ NOEXPIRE has been made to properly log, snoop and wallops
on successful use.
A wallops is now sent when SENDPASS is used.
- Version 2.0.1, 3rd January 2001
VOICE and DEVOICE commands added to ChanServ.
Channel access lists are now kept sorted by access level.
VOP/AOP/SOP ADD commands added to ChanServ as shortcuts to the
usual ACCESS ADD syntax.
Configuration options added to show a wallops when nicks and
channels are registered
Chanserv OP/DEOP commands modified so that if the "nick" parameter
is missed off they op/deop the person using them.
NickServ FORBID made to log in snoop channel.
ChanServ FORBID made to log in snoop channel and to send a
wallops.
NickServ SENDPASS made to send a wallops.
NickServ ACCESS lists can be manipulated by number.
- Version 2.0.0, 29th December 2000
import-wrecked-db made from existing import-db, correctly imports
a Wrecked v1.1.6 services database to ircservices format. New -t
option sets all nick and channel passwords to "testnet" which is
useful for allowing developers to play with a real network's
database.
NickServ messages regarding nick enforcement were made a bit more
readable.
All options regarding killing people who use your nick were
removed. Forcing a nickname change was made the default.
NickServ SET KILL became NickServ SET ENFORCE.
Services could be forced to segfault when MemoServ commands were
used on forbidden channels. This problem was reported by Scott
Seufert <[email protected]>, additional fixes from Sean Kelly
Wallops are now sent when services admins:
- Change user's NickServ settings.
- Unlink people's nicks.
- FORBID nicks.
- DROP nicks.
SENDPASS was added to NickServ and ChanServ. This command allows
a nick or channel password to be emailed to the owner without the
operator ever seeing the password. This also required extra config
options.
NickServ SET MARK was added. A MARKED nick may not be GET, SET or
SENDPASSED except by a services admin.
NickServ SET IRCOP was added. Any opered client without this nick
option set is nagged about it.
A problem preventing services from being restarted more than once
under Linux was fixed.
NickServ SET NOOP was added. This option prevents people from
adding you to any channel access list.
Configuration options were added to send a URL to a user when they
register a nick or channel, the idea being to tell them on that
page all of the things they can do with their new nick/channel.
A dynamic MOTD for services showing some global settings and
listing available services admins was added. Visible with the
/motd services.* command.
The development libraries of Red Hat 7 produce a services binary
which segfaults on empty config lines. This proved to have a
trivial workaround.
ircservices does not allow services admins to be AutoKicked. An
option which disables this feature was added.
ircservices gives channel operator status to all services admins in
every channel. An option which disables this feature was added.
An option was added to make the provision of an email address
mandatory when a nickname is registered.
Users are optionally informed of the time remaining before the next
database update, when they register a nick or channel.
ID and REG shortcuts for IDENTIFY and REGISTER added to both
NickServ and ChanServ.
Services clients made to respond to CTCP VERSION.
Support for an optional "snoop" channel added. This channel
receives logging information from the services clients.
ChanServ REGISTER, IDENTIFY, DROP, AND GETPASS now log to snoop
channel also.
NickServ REGISTER, IDENTIFY, DROP, LINK, UNLINK, RECOVER, RELEASE,
GHOST AND GETPASS now log to snoop channel also.
All use of OperServ is logged in snoop channel.
All services clients now have a header and footer on their HELP
output.
NickServ INFO for a nick now displays how long ago a nick was
registered, e.g.:
"Time registered: Oct 31 05:41:39 2000 GMT (9 weeks, 1 day, 06:42:17 ago)"
NickServ INFO output given a general overhaul.
Fixed a few typos.
Nicks can now be JUPED.
When a server is JUPED it is SQUIT first.
