now my question is now do I get it to poll the nornal address

as once it has polled f100.nl.21.binkp.net binkit won't send it

again question how do I fix this or what command or setting.


also is there a option in sbbsecho.cfg or same were for filebox
to put stuff in and send, I noticed there was one for inbound

Add "Host=agency.bbs.nz" to the [21:1/100] section of your binkit.ini file.

See above.

SBBSecho v3 supports file boxes, but BinkIT does not (yet).

You will need to change that at some point.. :)

Also sneaky should probably remove "AllowPlainPassword", unless they are using plain passwords.

It seems to me that only plain passwords are working with mystic at the moment on incoming calls handled by the binkp service. Outbound polls work well.

Is that what you see as well?

That host name isn't any good either:

Host f100.n1.z21.binkp.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

so how do we get remove the f100.n1.z21.binkp.net:24554

You override the default hostname and port number via the binkit.ini file.

Hi Digital man

Is that what you have in your binkit.ini yet it's still trying to connect to f100.n1.z21.binkp.net?

my binkit.ini

[21:1/100]
Host=agency.bbs.nz
Port=24556
Password=Pass
Poll=true
AllowPlainPassword=true
AllowUnencrypted=true

this is it.

this f100.nl.z21.binkp.net doesn't do it all the time but most of the time

ie run binkpoll and it tries f100.n1.z21 fails then on the same binkpoll 21:1/100 agency.bbs.nz does connect about a 1 minite later and picks up

my pkts which it probably ok, BUT it does it on outbound runs fidout/binkout it uses the f100.n1.z21 so hence mail goes out do a binkpoll same as row 2 haven't a question just passing on what it does.

I can confirm this, I see it too on inbound connections when using CRAM-MD5 passwords but I have good sessions on outbound (binkout or binkpoll). Hopefully this will be sorted in time.

I'm not sure why your having problems trying to connect to *.binkp.net. I have a minimal ftn_domains.ini but put all my links in binkit.ini and that works well here.

The lookup on binkp.net is a good thing if you are trying to send mail or files to a node not in your binkit.ini or nodelist. It will work if the node you are sending too is known at binkp.net. It won't work for Z21 though.

For binkd, nothing other than adding the DNS lookup domain to the domain line for the othernet(s) in binkd.conf. For other mailers, no idea. :).

Shouldn't be too hard to turn it into zone files for something like BIND either. Might have to look at knoching up a script and setting up a subdomain to try it with VKRadio. Obviously, I have the nodelist, that's certainly not a problem! :)

Does anyone have scripts or software for parsing the nodelist into a simple list of nodes? Don't want to reinvent the wheel, if I can avoid it. :)

How long has your node been around? I'm sure mine is.

Since 1995 off and on. I was just relisted 3 or 4 weeks ago after
almost a years absence. Yours is, I just pinged f410.n633.z3.binkp.net
and it resolved to freeway.vkradio.com.

That is correct. :-) And that address in turn resolves to both IPv4 and IPv6. :)

I'd like to setup a bbs.vkradio.com subdomain for this purpose too. Good place to learn, since that's my own net. :)

OK, Paul just said something like that so I think your on. :)

Looks like it. I think a bit of script hacking to setup DNS zone files should do the trick. :)

Maybe we need an fsx.net domain? I suppose any domain would do.

Have a look at http://binkp.net. I tried to setup 1:153/757 but my
node is not in their nodelist. Looking there you can probably see
what you need to do.

I have thought this before also... it would be fun to set something up

I think vk3jed is thinking the same thing, and since he has the stuff
it may be a reality bofore you know it.. :)

Paul has his own nodelist too, I'm happy to work with Paul on this, since we both have the same goals for different nets. :) I just have to setup my own DNS servers for the new subdomain. :)

Thanks Tony - appreciated. I'll move this thread to FSX_GEN and pick up the topic with you there as it's not strictly Synchronet related now.

Best, Paul

Shouldn't be too hard to turn it into zone files for something like
BIND either. Might have to look at knoching up a script and setting
up a subdomain to try it with VKRadio. Obviously, I have the
nodelist, that's certainly not a problem! :)

exactly...

Does anyone have scripts or software for parsing the nodelist into a simple list of nodes? Don't want to reinvent the wheel, if I can
avoid it. :)

ummm... i already pointed to binkd_nodelister.pl ;)

copy it to vkradio_nodelister.pl and then fix up the output so it is a zone file... i've done it once for updating the domains my perimeter firewall allows
gated email for... it was a simple list... a zone file shouldn't be that hard to do if i recall their format from yonks ago correctly...

the latest/best binkd_nodelister.pl should be in the I-BINKD FDN along with the
weekly binkd.txt binkd nodelist file... the script is version 1.3 from 14 April
2007 by Jerry Schwartz... i'm not sure if it has been rehatched into the FDN lately or not... rehatching simply to try to ensure that all sites with I-BINKD
do have the script...

FWIW: folks using this script to create othernet binkd nodelist files will have
to edit it to replace the forced "@fidonet" domain with the othernet's domain and don't forget to use different output file names for each othernet...

Good idea, I think all of us discussing it are on FSX. :)

Hmm, not sure what I can do with that, haven't done much with Perl :( But somehow I missed that last time around. lol

Yeah the hardest part will be determining if the address is an IP address or domain name. Also, are there SRV records, so systems with non standard ports can be accommodated?

I'll have a look at it anyway, might use it as is for local use too, at least on those nets I don't get to use DNS. And does the FDN reach this far? I'm not on a lot of file echoes in any case, haven't got around to sorting Tickit out yet.

FWIW: folks using this script to create othernet binkd nodelist files
will have to edit it to replace the forced "@fidonet" domain with the othernet's domain and don't forget to use different output file names

That makes sense. The domain should have been a command line parameter. That way, domain and filename could be the same. Easy to know which nodelist file is which that way! :)

Tickit really doesn't need any sorting. It is simple and effective. Five minutes in the wiki and you'll be set.. :)

Except for the time factor, and having the head space to do it. Dealing with a lot of other (non BBS) crap ATM. :(

I hear that.. I have a few things I don't need taking me away from where I'd rather be ATM. But when you do have the time it won't take much.. :)
