  • WWIVnet & BinkD

    Hey

    Just a heads up, using stock binkd with wwivnet will cause a buffer
    overflow as discovered by alpha.

    I've patched binkd to fix it, https://github.com/apamment/binkd

    I've commented on the official binkd github page, and we'll see if they
    accept a patch.. (don't like my chances)

    So, for the time being at least, if you want to use WWIVnet on talisman,
    use my forked binkd. (It will still work for FTN nets as well ;P)

    Would it help you if systems that are not running talisman were testing
    this version of binkd for their FTN connections?
