  • more binkd problems..

    From eggy@21:4/143 to All on Tuesday, March 10, 2020 12:55:45

    Looks like my struggles with binkd are still present.. so far I've gotten inbound packets working from my BOSS node (21:4/143), but it seems binkd isn't sending outbound packets from my rPi (21:4/143.1) when I'm polling. Is there something special I need to configure in binkd.conf? I can see packets in my outbound folder.. (Enigma 1/2 BBS seems to be doing its job from what I can tell...)

    If binkd is receiving inbound packets, it should also send the outbound packets
    for that node.

    What files are in your outbound dir? Are Enigma and binkd using the same path?

    Below is my outbound path (which Enigma points to)

    From this output, I can see there has been outbound packets exported by
    enigma, but I don't see these packets or messages on my BOSS node (running mystic bbs).

    Hello eggy,

    Below is my outbound path (which Enigma points to)
    $ ls -lah /home/e/bbs/ftn_out/
    total 24K
    drwxr-xr-x 4 e e 4.0K Mar 10 16:00 .
    drwxr-xr-x 7 e e 4.0K Mar 5 20:25 ..
    drwxr-xr-x 2 e e 4.0K Mar 1 17:28 0001008f.pnt
    -rw-r--r-- 1 e e 23 Mar 1 18:26 0001008f.try
    -rw-r--r-- 1 e e 16 Mar 10 16:00 0004008f.try

    I can see by the .try files that this is the outbound directory binkd is using.

    drwxr-xr-x 2 e e 4.0K Mar 9 22:42 outbound
    $ ls -lah /home/e/bbs/ftn_out/outbound/

    by enigma, but I don't see these packets or messages on my BOSS node (running mystic bbs).

    Hmm I see no .try files here so I don't think this is a binkd outbound directory, at least binkd doesn't seem to be looking in there.

    Ttyl :-),

    Maybe you don't have zip tool installed, you know, sudo apt-get install zip

    Try it!
