  • SBBS and binkd...

    From Martin Kazmaier@VERT to All on Tuesday, June 02, 2026 15:16:00
    Should an sbbs system running Linux be reporting that the binkd server is
    1.1a 115? I'm not sure if this guy has a rogue server or what. It's
    reporting that he's in russia with a different name and invalid AKAs. I
    asked him to check his settings, but haven't heard back yet. He said it
    worked at one point, but he's no longer receiving packets. The domain is pointing to the right IP address, but the information I'm getting from his system is nothing like what it should be...

    I use binkd with Synchronet, no reason why you wouldn't and I reports

    binkd/1.1a-115/Linux

    so...

    It's reporting that he's in russia with a different name and invalid
    AKAs.

    That sounds like the info that is in the example configuration:

    address 2:5047/999@fidonet 2:5020/999.1@fidonet
    address 618:100/10@micronet 110:220/1@linuxnet

    sysname "Ivan's BBS"
    location "Magadan, Russia"
    sysop "Ivan Ivanov"


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Thank you, and yes! He says he's set it, but it doesn't appear so.

    AKAs.

    That sounds like the info that is in the example configuration:

    I'm doing my best but totally unfamiliar with sbbs. I'm hubbing him from EleBBS w/ fastecho and binkd. I don't know what to tell him about his setup.
    Supposedly the russia info isn't in any of his config files or setup screens, but I'm certainly not making that up...

    I was talking about the default config file for binkd. Probably named binkd.conf.

    Bye, Wilfred.

    tell this sysop?
