I've got a downlink, 1:102/401, who's getting a password error. He says that I'm matching one of my Fido AKAs to him, not my primary AKA which we have a password set for.

I tried overriding the local address in echocfg to 1:218/700, but when I try polling using jsexec binkit -l (his node number) it shows me presenting my AKAs, and not in the order listed in scfg (1:218/700 is my primary AKA)

Sending M_ADR command args: 1:143/1@fidonet 1:143/0@fidonet 1:10/1@fidonet 1:10/ 0@fidonet 1:1/1@fidonet 1:218/700@fidonet 1:218/1@fidonet 1:218/0@fidonet 46:1/115@agoranet 21:4/122@fsxnet 618:300/16@micronet 618:300/1@micronet 700:100/20@spooknet 9:91/4@survnet

The help file mentions something about trying to choose a local address that best matches the net and node number, it looks like it's doing that. He's matching on 143/1.

Any clues as to why specifying a local AKA isn't working?

Thanks!

The "Local Address" setting in echocfg is for packet generation by SBBSecho. I think what you're looking for is the "Source Address" under the BinkP Settings for the linked node.

There's 2 different settings for choosing the local AKA to use: one for SBBSecho (packet generation) and the other is for BinkIT (BinkP M_ADR ordering) and they're both in EchoCfg->Linked Nodes.

Aha - found it, trying it now.
