• Areafix has stopped working

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to Digital Man on Sunday, May 03, 2020 15:17:31
    I am not sure when it started, but Areafix has not been working properly with the 3.18 version of Synchronet I pulled down & compiled last week or again today.

    I have a node that is trying to get a listing of the echos available to him. Instead the messages are being routed to me. I thought that should only
    happen if the requester goofed but, having received the netmails I see no issues with them. They are formatted as follows:

    From: Christopher Hall (1:2320/200)
    To: AreaFix@1:2320/105
    Subject: correct-password-here
    Body:
    %LIST

    The password matches exactly what is in sbbsecho.ini for that node. I have also since tried sending netmail to both 'AreaFix' and 'areafix' from my MagickaBBS and am also not getting any responses (meanwhile, both were routed to my user on the synchronet bbs).

    I also could not get a response to a message sent to Filefix but, as that is new and not documented yet (last I looked!), I suspect I am missing something somewhere.

    Thanks!

    P.S. Forgot to mention, we are able to exchange netmail otherwise. He receives netmail written by me, and I him.

    Also, in case you are curious, here is what his sbbsecho.ini entry looks like. His password is only 7 characters long, if that matters?:

    [node:1:2320/200@fidonet]
    Name = Christopher Hall
    Comment =
    Archive = ZIP
    PacketType = 2+
    PacketPwd =
    AreaFix = true
    AreaFixPwd = passwrd
    SessionPwd = passwrd
    TicFilePwd =
    Inbox =
    Outbox =
    Passive = false
    Direct = false
    Notify = false
    Keys = FIDO
    Status = Normal
    GroupHub =
    BinkpHost = slasho.me
    BinkpPort = 24554
    BinkpPoll = true
    BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
    BinkpAllowPlainAuth = true
    BinkpAllowPlainText = true
    BinkpTLS = false
    BinkpSourceAddress =

    He is running Mystic but I don't think that should be an issue since the netmails are getting through.

    Thanks!

    run echocfg and see what you have in the Netmail Settings->Sysop Aliases field... if you have areafix, filefix or similar in there, remove them...

    mine has only SYSOP and one other alias that i use for special purposes unrelated to FNT operations...

    I actually figured out the problem! I keep all of the *.NA files that are set up in sbbsecho.ini in a directory to themselves. The ones for the "othernets" were still there but somehow the BACKBONE.NA file for FIDO had gone missing. So, I guess when an NA file is missing, this is what sbbsecho does. I
    replaced the missing file, and sbbsecho started generating the responses for
    my other Zone 1 system.

    I have asked the other sysop to try again.

    I was mistaken about it not generating for another Zone... for some reason, it just took it longer to process than I expected. I could not just crash the system, wait for the FIDOIN/OUT tasks to run, and then crash again. But it
    was generated so all is good!

    Sorry for the false alarm!

    it was discovered that this could go missing... if it is missing, add it to all [robot:blah] sections and ensure that you update to the latest .js and binaries...

    but that's only for tickfix stuffings... it should not affect areafix if that's messing up, too...

    is this the fix for what i was attempting to help you with? if so, glad you found it... but still check for those attr lines in the [robot:blah] section(s) of your sbbsecho.ini file and fix them if they are missing...

    exactly why i was telling Dumas Walker about it... not everyone monitors the cvs log page, irc, or the message area where the cvs commits are posted ;)


    BTW: did you see my posting yesterday morning to you in IRC? it was about your hatchit and tickit problem with the hatched files being sent back to your system's inbound from its outbound??

    i manual add the Seenby 4:902/26 line editing outbound tic files, but i

    i will try more debugging tickit/binkit logic.

    i see that sbbs is near to work as complete/working hub/boos system, my

    That is in there. file/tickfix was not working initially because I miseed the jsexec install step. Figured that out reading the code.

    The system is still not responding to filefix netmails, though, so something else is amiss. I pulled the latest version of tickfix.js about 12 hours ago (~2200 GMT).

    Filefix, OTOH, is still not responding. I read the code and realized I needed to run the jsexec install for it. Did that. Robots entry is now in the sbbsecho.ini file (the only robots entry), and the event is active but it is still not doing anything (aside from exiting with 0) when the event does run.
    I have sent netmails both to FileFix and TickFix. All are routed to my
    account when they arrive.

    Are there any changes required to the tickit.ini file? Is the TO case sensitive? I am using my areafix password... is that right?

    An 'smbutil v' dump of the message headers of the problem request netmails (in your data/mail base) would be helpful in debugging the issue.

    Netmail should not be sent to 'tickfix'. If you netmail sent to the robot name (e.g. "filefix") are going to "your account", that sounds like you're not running SBBSecho v3.11.

    No.

    Re: Tickfix not working
    By: Dumas Walker to Rampage on Tue May 05 2020 06:55:41


    The jsexec install step created it as 'filefix' and not 'tickfix' if
    that matters. The netmails that are being ignored are addressed to filefilx.

    filefix is the correct default... i also added allfix to mine...

    i don't have any idea why the netmails are not being handled by sbbsecho, though... it should see them and trigger tickfix to do the thing...

    I actually figured out the problem! I keep all of the *.NA files
    that are set up in sbbsecho.ini in a directory to themselves. The
    ones for the "othernets" were still there but somehow the
    BACKBONE.NA file for FIDO had gone missing.

    is this the fix for what i was attempting to help you with? if so, glad you fou
    d it... but still check for those attr lines in the [robot:blah] section(s) of >our sbbsecho.ini file and fix them if they are missing...

    It is the fix for areafix not working. Areafix does not have a robot
    section here. File/tickfix does. It is still not working.

    Mine only has SYSOP and an intentional typo that needs to be routed to me. :)

    I had to add an alias for a mispelling of my name, so I could receive a netmail
    intended for me.

    Yep, that is the reason. Now that I also have anything addressed to an apparently non-existent user routed to me I guess that is redundant.

    yeah, i've read that... have you updated to the latest sbbsecho and echocfg, too? can't tell from here or the fidonet side of the gateway... i think 3.11 is the latest but there may have been another update since i updated early today or yesterday...

    Netmail should not be sent to 'tickfix'. If you netmail sent to the
    robot name (e.g. "filefix") are going to "your account", that sounds
    like you're not running SBBSecho v3.11.

    Interestingly, someone sent a netmail to tickfix on my system recently. :/ Odd, because my Synchronet system is not a FTN hub, it's a QWK hub and a FTN leaf node.

    I have been trying it both ways to see if I can get it to work. I should
    have the latest of everything as I pulled a clean copy the last time I
    pulled it. I also pulled a newer version of tickfix.js a couple of days
    ago when I saw the message saying that it had been updated.

    I will have to check it when I am sitting at that box. I cannot find
    anywhere in this packet where someone has quoted my ftn origin back to me.
    :)

    Thanks!

    you have to post from the fidonet side of the gateway for us to see that... that means carrying the fidonet side's echo which mean two identical message areas but in two different groups fed by two different technologies ;)

    like this one coming from the fidonet side on my system whereas most of my others have been posted from my dove-net side via QWK-networking...
