Summary0002950: SVSHOLD/qline-H nicks still produce qline rejection notices

Steps To Reproducestart using SVSHOLD in services, and have a user try to use that nick while it is qlined/enforced. Note notice "Q:lined nick <foo> from <bar> on <baz>"

Supposed to go into 'steps to reproduce'

start using SVSHOLD in services, and have a user try to use that nick while it is qlined/enforced. Note notice "Q:lined nick <foo> from <bar> on <baz>"

The way I read the code.. that could only happen if a svshold is on a server but then on a remote server someone changes his/her nick into such a svshold'ed nick. This would obviously be quite weird, since on the remote server it should also be on-hold and no user should be able to use that nick.
Even thinking of lag, it's not possible to reach such a situation (unless I'm missing something), since services should unhold it before anyone could use it (or unhold it before SVSNICK if that is used), so still synchronically ok (unhold, nickchange/forcednickchange), however you do it.

After reading the code, I think I have an idea of how it occurs.
a) it's line 263 of modules/m_nick.c, "remote user changing nick"
b) it occurs when the user manages to change nick either before the TKL entry expires (locally), or possibly before the TKL - Q message is received locally (unlikely).

Thus it appears likely to be a race. I am not _sure_ of this however.

Oh wait.. you mean an oper ?
Since I don't get any notices otherwise here.

I admit it shouldn't happen, but at the least, I do have it happening right now. The simplest fix (tho not necessarily the right fix) is to just add !ishold to the end of line 263's if(...)

Only opers are receiving the notices, but no, the users who are triggering the Q:line notices are _not_ opers.

EDIT: I love the asynchronous comment posts here :P

Fixed in CVS .532
- Got rid of qline notice that could happen if using services holds (semi-race condition),
  reported by tabrisnet (0002950).


- if (IsServer(cptr) && IsPerson(sptr)) /* remote user changing nick */
+ if (IsServer(cptr) && IsPerson(sptr) && !ishold) /* remote user changing nick */
