is strongly discouraged and should only be used for testing.
* Don't 301 if a PRIVMSG to an AWAY user originated non-locally.
* Support nick@server as valid targets for NOTICE and PRIVMSG.
* Support CS,NS,MS,OS,CHANSERV,NICKSERV,MEMOSERV,OPERSERV, and IDENTIFY
  commands, these are helper commands per Bahamut 1.4 used to send messages to
  services only.  Thanks to Foobar for pointing this and the above item out.
* Support oper sending of messages to #*mask.tld as per RFC.
* Cleaned up the global message sending routine, added numeric 413,414 per RFC.
* INVITE wasn't propagating across the network, and an invite wasn't expiring
  once a user entered a channel after being invited like it should've.
* Enhanced the DEBUG oper command to accept arguments depending on what debug
  setting you want to tweak.  "DEBUG D" to toggle debug mode on/off, and
  "DEBUG Y <val>" to set branch.yield_freq to <val>, suggested by DigitalMan.

Fixed bug in dns_blacklisted() - can't use SAFECOPY on char*.
Resets DNSBL-lookup result between messages if IP was found in received hdr.

the sbbs v2 method, where each node must down itself.

Added Native=Yes to sz/rz/gkermit configurations.

Servers now use auto-reconnect frequency as defined on their configured Y:Line,
STATS I for viewing I:Lines works.

Give opers their class as defined on the O:Line when going umode +o
Close all client connections when the ircd becomes terminated.
Changed all server_wallops to their proper Bahamut counterparts.
Not all oper notices are global anymore, and fixed handling of KILL messages.
Added LOCOPS as per Bahamut in anticipation of proper GLOBOPS and CHATOPS.

Fix stupid paren error.

Changed 'disclaimer' handling to use ftouch() instead.

properly across servers.

to track down the issue, I finally gave up... as a result, there is a new
feature!

Linux will no longer completely drop it's root privs (It never really did
anyways, and you couldn't possibly make it... but now it does so even less)

As a result, Linux can now recycle all servers when running as non-root.

From a security standpoint, doing this is more secure than running as root,
but less secure than the behaviour on POSIX.4 compliant pthreads.  Running
the BBS as root means that if a user can create a file with the name of his
choice, or pass *any* command through to a shell, that user will get root
access to the machine.  Using the new behaviour, the user would need to
trick the Synchronet binary itself into executing arbitrary and specially
crafted code... probobly using the dreaded buffer overflow... of which
there are probobly some in the web server code.  :-)  If the user can do
this much more tricky feat, then the user gets root privs.  If not, the
user will have to find something else to exploit on your system.

Knowing that some *BSD users (surely not OpenBSD users though) will want to
trade security for convenience, I stole a page out of the Sendmail book and
implemented a "DONT_BLAME_SYNCHRONET" make option.  Compiling like this:
gmake DONT_BLAME_SYNCHRONET=1

Will implement this same behaviour on non-Linux platforms.  Allowing this
partial security feature.

Support user PASS command to check vs. local synchronet db, global notices for opers, fixed bug with netwide TOPIC displaying server name instead of nick, TOPIC wasn't propagating beyond servers 1 hop deep, support nick hunting as per RFC1459, nick TS was incorrect, fixed reading of null line from config as per Deuce, WALLOPS wasn't propagating properly, began work on server-to-server numeric passing (ala VERSION), searchbyserver accepts wildcards and nicknames as valid server targets, an oper who SQUITs their uplink gets QUIT from it as per normal :)
