Unicode UTF-8 chars in channel names
by Krzysztof Staniorowski 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Hello, due to various reasons I discovered a weird bug. The #plock name comes from polish small city's name: Płock. I created #plock, then someone created #płock (yup, with Unicode "ł" letter) and this may lead to potential user theft (or even phishing!). Is it usual that Bahamut IRCd allows Unicode chars in channel names? Yours sincerely, ksx4system -- Krzysztof Staniorowski WWW: ksx4system.net GSM: +48 785 793 053

Recent Bahamut changes
by Aaron Wiebe 27 May '13

27 May '13

Hi all, The bug in 2.0.6 should have been identified in the code review and testing phase - and I feel like we got some egg on our face as a result. I wanted to take a moment to comment on it, and apologize. The fact that this bug, being fairly big and obvious, got through the process reflects that I've been a bit lax in reviews and testing. I'm personally going to change my review and approval process to try to resolve these issues, through a more formal off-trunk review. Bahamut as a project is effectively in a maintenance phase, as we don't have anyone working on it as actively as we previously have. We release new versions sporadically, and don't have a roadmap or any "next big thing". This is actually part of the problem - without goals, we have a lot fewer eyes on individual changes, and we're not all driving towards anything. So with that said, I'd like to put it to the community to discuss what we could put on our roadmap. Little things and big things. Let's brainstorm - what would you like to see in Bahamut? And out of this discussion, maybe we can line up a roadmap for 2.1, 2.2 and maybe even a 3.0. What would you like to see in Bahamut? -Aaron

I am proud to finally see this long long long time feature request not getting batted down after the first couple of emails (hostmasking). This very much has a need, I was shut down by a packet kiddie angry at another user and started targeting people in the channel, ecause my ISP forces me to a static ip based on my modem MAC address I was shut down until I could get another modem. This could have been avoided with this. I also like the DNSBL idea but I see the latency issues as possibly becoming a deterrent if using one single/multiple lists in itself much less if its down. Maybe DALnet could run its own as possibly support others?

bahamut 2.0.6 auditorium mode bug
by brandon 24 May '13

24 May '13

bahamut 2.0.6 hides all mode and topic changes from non-opped/non-voiced users in all channels, even if the channel is not set to auditorium mode. Thanks to nt-spki for reporting this bug. (repeat of RuneB's post to the admin list)... I challenged srd to fix this bug, and I believe he did. He will post a patch shortly for evaluation by the coding team and the community.

Here is my little patch, the only remaining bug, if it's considered one, while the channel is +A, when I op/voice usera, userb (normal user) sees usera /join (as expected), but the server does not inform userbs client that usera has been opped or voiced. patch: 1170c1170 < if(chptr->mode.mode & MODE_AUDITORIUM && !is_chan_opvoice(acptr, chptr)) continue; --- > if(!is_chan_opvoice(acptr, chptr)) continue; srd/zort On 23 May 2013 19:30, Holbrook Bunting <srd(a)powertrip.net> wrote: > Here is my little patch, the only remaining bug, if it's considered one, > while the channel is +A, > I who am opped, op or voice someone else, that person appears to /join (as > expected), but > to -ov folks, it does node pass the mode string, so the op appears as a > normal -ov user. > > patch: > > 1170c1170 > < if(chptr->mode.mode & MODE_AUDITORIUM && > !is_chan_opvoice(acptr, chptr)) continue; > --- > > if(!is_chan_opvoice(acptr, chptr)) continue; > > srd/zort > > On 23 May 2013 19:19, brandon <brandon(a)dal.net> wrote: > >> bahamut 2.0.6 hides all mode and topic changes from non-opped/non-voiced >> users in all channels, even if the channel is not set to auditorium >> mode. >> >> Thanks to nt-spki for reporting this bug. >> >> (repeat of RuneB's post to the admin list)... >> >> I challenged srd to fix this bug, and I believe he did.

The Auditorium feature (cmode +A)
by Kobi Shmueli 19 May '13

19 May '13

Hi all, This feature is intended to let us run network-wide events where people may ask questions during the events without "disturbing" the event. When a channel is in auditorium mode (+A'ed), the following applies to users who are not opped or voiced: 1) The user list of the channel is hidden, they can only see ops/voiced on the channel (with /names). 2) When the channel is not moderated (+m'ed), messages that are sent to the channel are being relayed to #channel-relay. 3) Joins are hidden. 3) Parts are hidden. 4) Nick changes are hidden. 5) Quits are hidden. 6) /who +c is hidden. 7) Mode changes are hidden (with the exception of +o/-o/+v/-v which makes the opped/voiced appear to join/part as needed). Opped and voiced users can still see the send messages to the channel, see channel user list, mode changes, etc. This feature (channel mode) is currently can only be set by u:lined servers (services). It may be opened to all users in the future but it will probably be limited to channel managers/founders as it isn't a mode that needs to be changed on the fly. Do you think this feature will be good for other usages? do you feel like it should be opened for everyone? do you have any other comments/questions? feel free to share. -Kobi.
