How do you create a node entry in your binkd configuration that does not use a session password.

For me to use platinum express with binkd it's very easy but I have to have a node entry for every drop box I use. How do I create a node entry without a session password in the bink d. config.

node 1:1/1.0@fidonet test.net;* no-password i c:\\pxw\\out1-1 c:\\pxw\\inbound

What do I enter for it to not have a password?

Enter the minus sign '-', where you would put the password...

Simply enter a '-' for the password.

node 1:1/1.0@fidonet test.net;* - i c:\\pxw\\out1-1 c:\\pxw\\inbound

This works for other fields as well. E,g if you do not want an outbox, just an inbox:

node 1:1/1.0@fidonet test.net;* - i - c:\\pxw\\inbound

I've also broken the ipv6 barrier with this too... I can now send mail to Wilfred via ipv6. Haven't had anyone hit me back with ipv6 at ipv6.livewirebbs.com yet. Can't wait to see who comes in first on that one.

Anyhow... one more question. I have no idea what to name my .ilo files to
make it poll certain nodes. Not everyone is nice and crashes things over to you... would love it if I can figure out how to create an .ilo poll file. Surely there's a command line utility that will do this without having to use the binkd -P option

Not working yet ('no route to host')...

It's easy. Just convert the net and node number to 4 digit hex numbers and stick them together to get the base part of the filename.

I've written a little python (>= 2.5) script for it, that I use in my other scripts:

+++
#!/usr/bin/python

from sys import argv

nodestr = argv[1]
(zone, sep, nodestr) = nodestr.rpartition(":")
(net , sep, nodestr) = nodestr.rpartition("/")
(node, sep, pnt ) = nodestr. partition(".")

def ToInt(obj):
try:
return int(obj)
except:
return 0

zone = ToInt(zone)
net = ToInt(net )
node = ToInt(node)
pnt = ToInt(pnt )

print "%04x%04x" % (net, node)
+++



Bye, Wilfred.

With the "main" binkd running in server+client mode I type in another window:

binkd -nP<node number> binkd.cfg

It's different from the one I see his incomming connections from:

2602:306:83c1:a710:9d54:ff3c:6d09:1fcf

I can make a binkp connection to that address...

Yes, so can I. It also pings.

However... it is not a SLAAC address (no ff fe in the middle) , so it probably is a PE address. PE addresses are volatile, it may not work tomorrow. What we need is a non volatile address.

A dash (-) in place of the password indicates no password.

just like the distributed binkd.txt does... you put a dash '-' in that field...
