nickserv/chanserv replacement

construct

nickserv/chanserv replacement irc-hub that allows users to register and keeps unwanted users out of channels

construct's Issues

change loglevel without restarting

need a command to change the loglevel

also (but can be in config file), need to be able to set log targets (syslog/stdout)

ssl connection to irc server

identify-passwords are now sent in plain-text between the irc server and construct. should be ssl

expand readme

explain some more

unhandled commands (AWAY/TOPIC)

construct logs:

Unparsed line: :someone TOPIC #channel :sometopic
Unparsed line: :someone AWAY :I'm not here right now
Unparsed line: :someone AWAY

add testcases for channel case-sensitivity

salts in separate database

salts should not be stored together with the passwords, increasing security if the password database gets stolen

register/identify

people confuse the 'register' and 'identify' command.

xchat auto-identify

xchat has a field for automatically identifying to nickserv. would be nice if this worked for construct as well.

xchat uses server-extensions to find the nickserv, ie, it sends 'NICKSERV ...' instead of 'PRIVMSG nickserv ...'

ban (+b) users from closed channels

right now users can join and get kicked from channels that they should not be in, but with auto-rejoin they can still make life difficult for that channel.

at least we should set a ban-mask when someone gets kicked from a channel, but might be better to just ban everybody not allowed in (if server can handle that many bans).
note that bans should follow nick-changes, be cleared on quit and set on connect

group +o/-o changes

if construct needs to change lots of +o on a channel, it is spammy right now. should combine +o changes

daemontools (or other process-management) needed

running in a screen works for development, but not very professional

explain more to new users

If a user does not register/identify within 60 seconds, explain why he should
Perhaps add a field in the configfile, so irc-network operators can add their own text

Same after register

• explain that he/she should identify next time
• that he/she can now register channels
• send an out-of-band (ie, not through irc) message to the operator so he can confirm the identity

configfile should be in same format as ircd.conf

json won't even allow comments, which is inconvenient
