I'm preparing to PR a succession of privs changes with the ultimate goal
of severely limiting the scope of the binary oper/user dichotomy and
move conceptually distinct oper functions into their own privs.
Accomplishing this is a non-trivial task, and can wait, but it's
inconvenient now to have such functions enabled by the same mechanism
that grants any privs at all--so I'm moving all of them to a
transitional priv with the intention of eroding that later.
Move opername and privset storage to struct User, so it can exist for
remote opers.
On /oper and when bursting opers, send:
:foo OPER opername privset
which sets foo's opername and privset. The contents of the privset on
remote servers come from the remote server's config, so the potential
for confusion exists if these do not match.
If an oper's privset does not exist on a server that sees it, it will
complain, but create a placeholder privset. If the privset is created by
a rehash, this will be reflected properly.
/privs is udpated to take an optional argument, the server to query, and
is now local by default:
/privs [[nick_or_server] nick]
As it stands, oper hiding is rather messy and inconsistent. Add
SeesOper(target, source), which is true iff target should appear as an
oper to source. If I haven't missed something, all commands that reveal
oper status now use the same logic.
general::hide_opers_in_whois is a special case, and affects /whois only.
general::hide_opers is introduced, and has the same effect as giving
everyone oper:hidden. All commands that reveal oper status respect both.
Links that are 'no-export' are not distributed to the rest of the IRC network (including local peers).
This provides a core primitive for 'anycasting' services (but the actual issue of synchronizing data in
a services package is left to the authors of the services package).
Fix the server connection configuration so that it can simultaneously
handle a hostname/IPv4/IPv6 for connecting and a hostname/IPv4/IPv6
for binding. Maintains backwards compatibility for matching a hostname
with a mask.
Multiple host/vhost entries can be specified and the last value for
each address family is stored. Hostnames that resolve automatically
overwrite the IP address.
Server connections can now be made to either IPv4 or IPv6 at random
as well as preferring a specific address family.
It seems to come from an era where long long didn't exist and 64-bit
machines weren't common. 32-bit machines are still common but I can't
imagine this will have much performance impact there.
This "fixes" #179 in title only, but see comments within.
Note that in some cases (different TS delta settings,
heavy lag) it is possible only one of the servers
detects the problem and autoconnect may be left enabled.
The mechanism used for disabling is the same as
/quote set autoconn <server> 0; the A flag in /stats c
disappears and a rehash or /quote set autoconn can put
it back.
Specifying need_ssl on auth{} denies the connection if
it is not SSL/TLS, much like need_ident or need_sasl.
Specifying need_ssl on operator{} refuses opering with
ERR_NOOPERHOST if the connection is not SSL/TLS.
