How does one compile a nodelist for use with Binkd? I have seen mentioned in the config file a Perl script of some sort but when I enable that in the config
file I get an error.

There are several solutions...

I use: BINKD_NODELISTER.PHP which can be found here: http://ambrosia60.dd-dns.de/software/software.htm

This produces a file from the nodelist that can be included in the binkd.config.

I have these lines in binkd.cfg

defnode *
#root-domain binkd.net

It will use the DNS distributed nodelist as documented in FTS-5004 for all nodes not explicitly defined in the config.

Works great! Do you by any chance have a script that can automate the nodelist
updates? I run Binkd in Linux. :)

I use the husky nltools for this.

http://husky.sourceforge.net/nltools.html

You will have to compile those yourself, and it's best to get the source for the tools and the necessary husky base libraries from cvs. I use the following script for this, that will get me the source for the libs and the tools I use (htick, nltools). Execute in a new delelopment directory.

#!/bin/sh
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@husky.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/husky login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@husky.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/husky co -P areafix

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@husky.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/husky co -P nltools
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@husky.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/husky co -P smapi


And I use the following script to compile the libraries and tools in the right order:

#!/bin/dash

pause ()
{
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue..." DUMMY
}

MyMake ()
{
# echo "\nMake clean...\n"
# make clean
# pause
echo "\nMake...\n"
make
pause
echo "\nMake install...\n"
make install
pause
cd ..
}

cd huskylib
MyMake
cd smapi
MyMake
cd fidoconf
MyMake
cd areafix
MyMake
cd huskmisc
MyMake
cd htick

cd nltools

If you succeed with this you will still have to configure it, which is also interesting... ;)

I'm currently working up a node on this desktop running Xubuntu (14.04.3 LTS presently). It's based on a successful formula that has been working in a VirtualBox VM for the last five years, running an old Puppy Linux that cannot be upgraded. Hence the move to Xubuntu.

Anyhow, for the extraction of IP information from nodelists I use a beautiful little tool from Markus Reschke (2:240/1661) called nl2binkd. It's actually a bash script so it doesn't need any external binaries. It's easy to get the hang of, is its use is described by running the script without any parameters.
It's FREQ-able from here or from Markus's node simply by that name, NL2BINKD.

Why don't just use the full NODELIST or the DAILYLST. The file is not as big

Well, even when we would have a nodelist in size of the 90s, todays computers are more powerful than at that time, so even a Raspberry Pi would happily process the full nodelist, I guess. ;-)

there's not really such a task to be done... a binkd ""nodelist"" is simply another config file that is included in one's binkd.conf if needed... there's a
perl script available to create a binkd format nodelist from a standard FTN St.
Louis format nodelist... it should be available in the I-BINKD file distribution network area where the distributed binkd ""nodelist"" is found... the name is binkd_nodelister.pl and it is found in BNLPL13.ZIP...

1. The second line is commented out, so it does not help.

and it should ideally be defined as the very last field on the domain line... especially for systems in more than one domain... those other domains should also have their own DNS zone for the fnz converted FTN addresses...


for others following along...

eg: for 3D/4D
domain fidonet /bink/outbound 1 binkp.net
domain amiganet /bink/outbound 1 amiganet.invalid

actual directory structure:
/bink/outbound <- main zone outbound (Z1 in this example) /bink/outbound.002 <- Z2 outbound
/bink/outbound.003 <- Z3 outbound
/bink/outbound.004 <- Z4 outbound
/bink/outbound.027 <- Z39 outbound


eg: for 5D
domain fidonet /bink/outbound/fidonet 1 binkp.net
domain amiganet /bink/outbound/amiganet 39 amiganet.invalid

actual directory structure:
/bink/outbound/fidonet <- main zone outbound (Z1 in this example) /bink/outbound/fidonet.002 <- Z2 outbound

I don't know, but there is a couple of months of overlap in 2007, between the start of development of the php version and the last release (as shown in your message) of the perl version. So possibly some, but the php version has been updated since 2007, in 2013 by Ulrich and in 2016 by myself...

if not, why not??

You will have to ask the perl devs...

binkd does not need one, its completely in dns

f0.n230.z2.binkp.net is me :)

so all you need to know use binkp.net in binkp.cfg (root-domain binkp.net)

and then in node line use

node 2:230/0 * <password-if-needed>

Thanks. It won't even compile on my Ubuntu box I use for this. Will
look into it more later or simply try to write a script for it. :)

you get less problems on gentoo then that

Well, even when we would have a nodelist in size of the 90s, todays computers are more powerful than at that time, so even a Raspberry Pi would happily process the full nodelist, I guess. ;-)

why not compile /etc/hosts ? (dns resolve needed in compile stage then)

but works then in cached mode

and i find nodes stupid using multiple hostnames to a single ip, that can be optimized in /etc/hosts

Yes, using the root-domain globally will break your othernets (I've
done it ;) ). Best to put it on the domain line for Fidonet.

lets join fidonet, is the most simple way to solve it

That doesn't solve the issue. The proper way to fix it is to setup DNS lookup on a per domain basis in binkd's config file. Currently the only FTN domain I am in that has DNS nodelist lookup is Fidonet via binkp.net

This produces a file from the nodelist that can be included in the
binkd.config.

ward would need this one to keep his xp box doing something :=)

its not needed, see my previous msg

binkd.net uses the nodelist for it's information. It's a nice service, but if you can compile the nodelist for yourself into a binkd compatible format, you don't have to make your system depend on an extra SPOF.

Why do you specify the default binkp port, on this entry?
