The only differences between the nodes is that league10 only uses a session password via binkp and fidonet uses session and packet passwords. Also, I wasn't sure what to do with the security settings for fidonet. It had worked at zero, but all of the fidonet areas need at least 150, so I just gave it sysop access.

Let me know if you guys can think of anything for me to try.

Hello Marty,

The only differences between the nodes is that league10 only uses a session password via binkp and fidonet uses session and packet
passwords. Also, I wasn't sure what to do with the security settings
for fidonet. It had worked at zero, but all of the fidonet areas need
at least 150, so I just gave it sysop access.

Remove the packet password from Irex and put it in your Fastecho mail
tosser instead.

I don't understand the packet password in Irex, but the packet
password for Fidonet mail bundles goes in the tosser. I had this
happen to me the first time I set up Irex for Fidonet. :)

Frank

The only thing I spotted there was a mis-match with the semaphore directories.
I don't know if that's significant in the long term, or even if it relates to the present situation.

The security settings are only relevant to how you want the echoes to be shared
with other nodes and points. Bob's ought to be the highest as he is your uplink. Any other nodes' levels can be set at anything you like (at a lower level), and match the levels set for -each- echo in the manager. You would end
up with a situation where Bob is the only who can send new echoes to you, whereas other nodes and points can send & receive mail only.

Let me know if you guys can think of anything for me to try.

Can we have a look at just one of the Fidonet echoes configured in the manager,
please Marty?

Cheers,
Paul.

The packet password in Irex is for unpacking before the tosser gets to see
it. I unpack mail bundles with Irex and toss them with FE.

but the packet
password for Fidonet mail bundles goes in the tosser. I had this
happen to me the first time I set up Irex for Fidonet. :)

Did any of that info help? I'll gladly supply more. The echo and netmail are definitely coming to me, but fastecho just isn't tossing them into their message areas. Even for this I have to use Lord Time's system...

In my case Marty, I looked it over at a least a dozen times and couldn't spot the trouble. The only items that looked awkward on the area configuration screen were the 'zero' read/write settings for the area (BTW, that area has been deleted from distro on the WWB); maybe they should be set for something a bit lower than Bob's level, and certainly lower for other nodes/points that you
don't want to share the area(s) with.

You could try a one-time only:

FastEcho TOSS -S

Per the FastEcho.Doc (top of page 114), it will "temporarily disable all the security functions provided by FastEcho". If it works then there is/are some -other- setting(s) stopping the toss from working properly, which would require
you to step through your config settings again. (Page 114 could be a good guide for things to look for, IAC.)

Cheers,
Paul.

Yeah, that was a little silly... The message before that one had the info that this one was talking about.

Sorry for not being more specific :((.
