[srvx-devel] things to fix for 1.2..

[Entrope <en...@us...>]

This is just a short list things I think we should fix for the 1.2
release.  The main point of the release is to port to Bahamut, but
there should be time to fix these issues (some from 1.0, some only
in 1.1).

- !users should use table_send() .. this requires some flag (or a new
  function) to expand $-variables in the fields.

- Sort of related, it would be nice to get rid of the formatting
  glitch that lets users use $-variables.  We can do this by expanding
  them out before calling vsnprintf (although we'd need to make sure
  to double any % characters in the variables' values).  This should
  also make the line-breaking code simpler.

- OpServ should track users by IP, not hostname, when determining
  whether or not they have too many clones online.  I started to do
  this in 1.1, then realized it would be a fair chunk of code.

- Sort of related, trusted hosts should be able to take a IP wildcard
  (not necessarily a hostname wildcard, though, if the above is done).
  This helps some of the bigger LAN parties; they *require* multiple
  outgoing IPs for the number of users they support.  Bonus points for
  letting the counting be done either per-IP or across all IPs that
  match the mask (so you could say "let any number of users on from
  each IP in 10.0.0.*, but no more than 500 for the whole range"),
  for those same LAN parties.

- HelpServ logging of closed requests to a file.

There are probably some more things that I have overlooked.  What do
you folks think should be fixed in 1.2?
