When a server is running with SSL/TLS support compiled in, it is trivial to crash the server by sending an MOTD request via another server in the network. - ONLY servers without ssl/tls support compiled in are not affected. Disabling SSL in the configuration (no ssl listening ports, etc) does NOT help. - servers that are running standalone (i.e., not connected to any other servers) are not affected, either. This affects all ngircd releases since ngircd 13 (earlier versions have no SSL/TLS support).

In addition to the "ngircd" and "ngircd-full" packages a new package named "ngircd-full-dbg" is build: this package contains all the features of the "full" package but includes debug code and both the --debug and --sniffer options and the resulting binaries are _not_ stripped.

When ngircd announces the list of currently known servers to a new (connecting) server, it sent the introducer of the servers instead of the top server. Assuming this network: irc1.example.com |--irc2.example.com | `--irc3.example.com | `--irc4.example.com `--irc5.example.com When irc4 connects to irc3, irc3 tells irc4 that irc5 was connected to irc2. (irc2 had introduced irc5 to irc3; but thats not what ngircd should have sent to the new server). This also placed users on the wrong servers.

that code does not really make sense -- the info text is freely cofngiureable and des not follow a specific format. Also, that "+2" might have caused invalid memory accesses.

callers of (Un)Zip_Buffer() assume that the function closes the connection on error. However, this was not always the case.

With this patch ngIRCd displays IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]:<port>" when accepting new connections and later, if no successful DNS lookup could be made (or DNS is disabled altogether).

Change VERSION to include the __DATE__ when compiling from within Xcode. When building using "make xcode" or "make osxpkg" VERSION already is defined to the "real" version number set in configure.in.

- PidFile, ServerUID and ServerGID are read from actual server configuration - Exit code and behaviour is more LSB compliant - New "status" and "test" sub-functions
