[Unreal-users] Remote Includes

[Robert S. <rob...@vo...>]

Hello,

When one wishes to use remote includes, what could they do to 
password-protect the directory?  Would they just password protect, let's 
say, public_html/confs with Apache?  Would I have to have the box admin 
password-protect the directory or could I do it myself?  If I can do it, 
how?  What is the format of the line that would be included in 
unrealircd.conf?  I've used Remote Includes before, but never 
password-protected the directory.  Since I am now thinking of using it on 
my production network, I think it would be wise to do this as I don't want 
the public viewing my configuration files.

Thanks,
Robby

Also, don't forget to add a listen block for 7029. Refer to 
http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/unreal32docs.html#listenblock for 
more information on this.

An example is:

-----

listen   127.0.0.1:7029 {
    options {
       ssl;
       clientsonly;
    };
};

-----

If you don't need any of the options, then this is fine:

-----

listen   127.0.0.1:7029;

Re: [Unreal-users] ircservices

[John B. (Special) <jo...@wh...>]

Looks like you are putting the server hostname after link instead of the 
server name

Look at what server name (I believe its called ServerName or something 
similar in ircservices.conf) you are using and replace link localhost { 
with link <servername> {

server names MUST have at least ONE period
so you could try link localhost. but not link localhost
i know that's hard to see the diff, but you can get away with just a=20
single period... but you MUST have one or more!

tho why not call the server services. ?
link services. {

[Unreal-users] ircservices

[Florin A. <fl...@an...>]

I'm using Unreal3.2.2b and ircservices-5.0.48 on Linux Fedora Core 3.
Both applications run on the same machine. This is the first time i'm
using Unreal and ircservices, although i played a bit with other IRC
servers before.

I am trying to get Unreal and ircservices to work together, but i'm
doing something wrong that i can't figure out. Essentially, ircservices
keeps dieing because Unreal responds with:

[Feb 25 15:38:16 2005] unknown message from server (ERROR :Bogus server
name (localhost))
[Feb 25 15:38:16 2005] unknown message from server (ERROR :Closing Link:
[127.0.0.1] (Bogus server name))

In Unreal, i added these config bits for ircservices:

###########################################
allow {
        ip              *@127.0.0.1;
        hostname        *@localhost;
        class           servers;
        maxperip        1;
        password        "XXXXXXXX";
};
link localhost {
    username            *;
    hostname            127.0.0.1;
    bind-ip             *;
    port                7029;
    leaf                *;
    password-connect    "XXXXXXXX";
    password-receive    "XXXXXXXX";
    class               servers;
};
###########################################

ircservices has this configuration:

###########################################
RemoteServer    127.0.0.1 6667 "XXXXXXXX"
LocalAddress    localhost
###########################################

I'm probably doing some silly mistake which i can't figure out, so if
someone could point out some guidelines for setting up Unreal and
ircservices, i would appreciate it.

Thank you,

[Devin <sa...@te...>]

If you ever changed the Max Users. That is sort of fooling people thinking 
you have alot of users when you don't.
ours here says max users so far is 47. But we aren't worried about it. 
Better to be honest of how many users you have then pretending more.

That's the "Max number of users that have been connected at the same =
time", not the max number of allowed connections.
The max number allowed is set up during initial configuration of the =
server, and again in the unreaircd.conf allow section.
What you are posting here is dynamic, and will change as more users =
connect, that are higher than your current 8 user record.

Re: [Unreal-users] Local connection limit

[Christian 'H. M. <ad...@in...>]

Max: 8 means, 8 People was the Highest User Connection on your Server.

It has nothing to do with Server Limit :)

Serverlimit is /stats Y (example 100):

Y default 120 0 _100_ 3000000 8000

[Unreal-users] Local connection limit

[Starfleet14 <Sta...@em...>]

Hi,

when connecting to my UnrealIRCd Server it says:

Current Local Users: 2  Max: 8

Is there some way to change the max users limit?

Hope you can help me! ;)

Absolutely. If I touch that log as roote, will the Unreal ircd
be able to edit it? Should I chown/chgrp to ircd?

[Unreal-users] Connections refused, and no logging

[Chris <ch...@gw...>]

Hi,

New user of Unreal; relatively competent but not Ubergeek *nix admin,
new to the world of administrating IRC.

Having got the disclaimers out of the way: got hold of Unreal 3.2.2,
which seemed to be the one to go with. Got it out, Configed it (btw,
thanks a lot for that: it's *so nice* to see that much work being put
into making the users' life easier), hacked the .conf in accordance
with instructions derived from here:

http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/unreal32docs.html

and a certain amount of re-hacking as error codes revealed missing semi-colons
and so on. The server is running alone, not in a network with other servers,
I just want to get it up and see if it works.

THE PROBLEM

IRCd boots, runs, and is listening on the port I want it to (8765).
I don't speak IRC at protocol level, but telnetting to that port
produces:

:irc.$domain.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...
:irc.$domain.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead

Not sure why it can't resolve my hostname, but I believe this to be
tangential to the problem.

Connection attempts get refused. I can't work out why, because while 
it is configured as follows:

---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--
log "ircd.log" {
        maxsize 2097152;
        flags {
                oper;
                kline;
                connects;
                server-connects;
                kills;
                errors;
                sadmin-commands;
                chg-commands;
                oper-override;
                spamfilter;
        };
};
---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--

it is not, however, creating ircd.log anywhere I can find, so I can't
debug *why* it's rejecting my connections.

There is a difference in behaviour between connecting from localhost,
which gets this (using ircII):

*** Could not getpeername(): Connection reset by peer

and connecting from elsewhre:

*** Connection closed from irc.$domain.net: Connection refused

It is my suspicion that this is tangential to the problem, but
I'm not totally sure so I thought I'd put it in anyway.

OTHER INFORMATION

---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--
listen         *:8765
{
        options
        {
                clientsonly;
        };
};

allow {
        ip             *@*;
        hostname       *@*;
        class           clients;
        maxperip 1;
};
---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--

I'd appreciate any suggestions on a) how to get it to log, so I can
try and figure out what's going on, and/or b) any suggestions on what
might be going on and how to fix it. If any further information would
be useful, tell me which bits (as I felt posting my entire .conf would
be a little impolite).

Thanks,

~cHris

BIG NO !

Logging Channels are not allowed especially
+s +p or +k Channels or Querys. If a User find out
that you log Channels or something. Your Users
going elsewhere !

We are using UnrealWorld to watch over Network/Channel/Flood
or Clone activities.

Its a insiderZ.DE Project

No, what he means is the requirement of a FQDN name for his irc server.

and the answer to that is: the name in the me{} block does have to fit=20
the basic requirements of a hostname, in that it must have a period in=20
the name (hostname.domain or equivalent)
so you'd have to have 'irc.LAN', but you can't have it be just 'irc'
however the me::name does not have to be a real FQDN, it's merely an=20
internal identifier.

Your question is quite ambiguous :P

But if you mean the servername in the me block, then no..
this needs to contain at least 1 dot.. one of the reasons
is nick<->servername collision, but another important one is
that clients need it so they can distinct servers from
normal users (by checking if the source contains a dot),
and there are probably other reasons as well...

[Unreal-users] Security: Serious Unreal3.2* crashbug discovered

[Bram M. (Syzop) <sy...@vu...>]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

we became aware of a crash issue in UnrealIRCd
that can be triggered by users.
This time however, we are trying a new approach by
offering a "hot patch" that will fix your ircd
without requiring a restart, so the process
shouldn't be too painful.
It won't be possible for all future security issues,
but it works great for this one :).

In any case, we apologize for any inconvenience
this will cause.

	Syzop / The UnrealIRCd Team.

PS: If you experience any problems with the patch,
    then you can ask for help on our forums
    [ http://forums.unrealircd.com/ ]

SECURITY ADVISORY
==================

A serious Denial-of-Service issue has been discovered in UnrealIRCd.

==[ AFFECTED VERSIONS ]==
Affected:
- - Unreal3.2: beta18, beta19, RC-1, RC-2, 3.2, 3.2.1, 3.2.2

Unaffected:
- - versions older than beta18 (OLD, UNSUPPORTED)
- - 3.1* (VERY OLD, UNSUPPORTED)
- - If you have NO servers and NO services linked and you
  are using a vulnerable version then this problem does
  not occur (this is however an uncommon configuration)

Fixed in/by:
- - Hot-patched 3.2* servers (see FIX)
- - The newly released 3.2.2b (for fresh installs)
- - CVS from January 15 03:00 GMT and later

==[ PROBLEM ]==
There's a severe crashbug present in UnrealIRCd that can quite
easily be triggered by users. No code execution or anything
like that is possible (it's a NULL pointer dereference),
but it does cause a crash, which is of course serious enough.

Server admins should apply the fix (which does not require a
server restart) as soon as possible before an exploit will
become widespread (within 24h is recommended).

During the time of writing (Jan15 19:00 GMT) there are no signs
of "bad users" causing crashes, but we expect that this will
happen after public announcement of this bug.

==[ WORKAROUND ]==
There's no safe workaround, but see next for an easy fix.

==[ FIX ]==
Thanks to modulized commands we have created a "hot patch" utility
that will fix the issue WITHOUT requiring a server restart, all
you will have to do is install it and rehash.
This patch can be used on Unreal3.2-RC2, 3.2, 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.
Older version (eg: beta's) are not supported, in that case we
suggest you to upgrade to 3.2 (and apply this patch) or 3.2.2b.

*NIX:
 Download and run the hotpatch utility, available URLs:
 http://www.vulnscan.org/tmp/unrealpatch322
 http://www.unrealircd.com/unrealpatch322
 http://unreal.atlanti-ka.org/unrealpatch322

 EXAMPLE:
 cd ~/Unreal3.2 && wget http://www.unrealircd.com/unrealpatch322 && \
 chmod +x unrealpatch322 && ./unrealpatch322
 (or 'fetch' instead of 'wget', or any other download utility)

 Alternatively if that did not work, try this .tar.gz:
 http://www.vulnscan.org/tmp/qpatch.tar.gz OR
 http://www.unrealircd.com/qpatch.tar.gz OR
 http://unreal.atlanti-ka.org/qpatch.tar.gz

 Extract it, cd to the directory and run ./doinstall

Windows:
 Download and run the win32 hotpatch utility, available URLs:
 http://www.vulnscan.org/tmp/322_hotpatch.exe
 http://unreal.atlanti-ka.org/322_hotpatch.exe
 http://unrealircd.funny-chat.net/322_hotpatch.exe

 (this hotpatch is for 3.2.2 only, if using an older version then
  upgrade to 3.2.2 first).

Additionally, we have replaced the 3.2.2 downloads on our site with
"3.2.2b" which is 3.2.2 + this patch (useful in case the hot patch
utility did somehow not work, or for any new installs):
See http://www.unrealircd.com/?page=downloads

This issue has also been fixed in CVS, both in 'stable' and
'unreal3_2_2fixes' since January 15 2005 03:00 GMT.

[Unreal-users] Wanted to say thanks codemaster

[droolin <dr...@ad...>]

I didn't ever get your reply, but just found it in the archive.  Your
correct, I was looking for _ or ^.  That actualy explains a lot.  I have
been using that regexp in an eggie now for a long time, and never knew it
was wrong.  I also see a couple other areas where I know my origional syntex
was off with what you provided.
I actualy have a couple e-books on regexp's.  And am always looking things
up before I try them.  But, that still doesn't excuse the fact of where I
was wrong.  
I've had a couple people tell me that they didn't think regexp's looked that
hard.  I keep telling them otherwise, that it requires test.. Test.. Test..
Shoot, my network clearing just proved that.  Specially sence I thought that
regexp was correct.  
Thank you again codemaster, very much appriceated.

Ok, the first thing I'd suggest is that you go find a nice regexp tutorial 
so that you can prevent such mistakes from happening again. But, let me try 
to explain what is wrong with that regex. The first thing I notice is the 
[_|^] I'm guessing you want _ OR ^? Well, inside a [], the | doesn't mean 
OR, it means the "|" character. A [] is known as a "character class." It 
works by taking a list of characters, and, if the input string has ONE of 
the characters in the [], it matches. So [_|^] actually means "_ OR | OR ^", 
what you really want is simply [_^] (note, it is important that the ^ goes 
last because an ^ as the first character has a special meaning). Next is 
your use of "*". * is different in a regex than in a wildcard. In a wildcard 
it means "match 0 or more of any character." In a regex, it means "match 0 
or more of THE PREVIOUS character." So for example, !* says "match 0 or more 
!'s" and @* means "match 0 or more @'s" What you want there is actually 
".*". The "." character means "any character." So, ".*" means "match 0 or 
more of any character," just as an * does in a wildcard. However, you really 
want .+ which is "match 1 or more of any character." Lastly, by default, ALL 
regexps in Unreal are case-insensitive. What that means is, [A-Z] and [a-z] 
are equivilent. Yes, I realize that can be confusing, but that is just how 
it works since most of the time, you do want to ignore case. However, when 
you do need case sensitivity, you can easily turn it on using the (?-i) 
expression. This tells the regex library to treat it as case sensitive. For 
example (?-i)[A-Z][a-z] matches an uppercase letter followed by a lowercase. 
My guess is, the following is what you want:

(?-i)[A-Z][a-z]+[_^][0-9][0-9]!.+@.+

Hope that helps,
