• tickit zone mismatching

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to ALL on Wednesday, August 08, 2018 18:43:00
    I did get tickit working but am now having another issue with another sbbs node. He is a downlink from me in zone 618. However, tickit is defaulting
    all of the outgoing tics from my system to my default zone 1 address.

    Tickit on his end sees the zone 1 address in the tic file and gets the
    password mis-match error because he does not have (and shouldn't have) my
    zone 1 address set up in his sbbsecho.ini file.

    How do you tell tickit which zone address to use for each file echo if you
    have echos across different zones?

    Oh yeah, that would be me. I recognize my name anywhere ;)

    Deuce just commited a fix.

    You'll want to update your exec directory. Let me know when you've updated
    and I'll watch for the next tic file coming down.

    Thanks,
    Nigel

    Updated. Are there any updates, that you know of, that need to be made to any of the config files also?

    Thanks.

    After updating here I tossed an incoming tic and got a password error
    so I added @fidonet back to the sending nodes entry in sbbsecho.ini and retossed the tic with exec/jsexec tickit. The file was placed in the directory it should have been but was not imported to the BBS or sent to any links.

    Not well tested but that's what I see here at the moment.

    Thanks, I looked it up in the echo after I asked and got the same

    Hmmm, I am not a tic expert by any means, so this could be a no-no, but I wonder if adding something like this to the tickit.ini file would help:

    [MIN_LIST]
    Dir=directory
    Aka=618:250/1 <== the aka to use in the tic file
    Links=618:250/0, [...]

    I noticed that deuce said something about not wanting to change
    sbbsecho.ini, so something like this might prevent any changes there.

    It seems to be working here now..

    I still see my fido address on the path line but the from address is from the right zone.

    It would be a good thing if the path line was written from the other zone as well but I think those tics will pass without any error now.

    I just got a netmail from one of my links. It seems he got a tic addressed from 1:153/0 instead of 1:153/757.

    How do I get tickit to send tic files from 153/757 instead of 153/0? 153/757 is the first node in my AKA list followed by 153/0.

    There is a new setting in echocfg called "Local Address (AKA)" that is set to best match and I haven't adjusted it for any nodes. I wonder if I should set that to 1:153/757 and if tickit will read that?

    No, Tickit won't (currently at least) use that new setting.

    OK, I'll leave that setting as is. Here are a few lines from a tic that a link here had trouble with because of the from line.

    The path line looks OK. I wonder if tickit could use the same method to get the from line that it uses to get the path line?

    Also, the from line has @fidonet attached to it. That is accurate but I wonder if that might be a problem for some nodes when tossing as well?
