• telnet error

    From Suji@21:1/130 to G00r00 on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 17:50:58
    Hello, sorry to bother you, great work on Mystic. I've got the BBS
    able to send and receive echomail after following Mystic Guy videos.
    I'm using the Linux A46 version. When I fire up the mis server over
    the local network it tells me telnet error 1 13. I can telnet into the
    computer over the local network on port 23, but Mystic BBS is not
    available. I've also tried the OSX Mystic and that won't send and
    receive echomail when I try to connect to 21:1/100, it gives me "error
    4." Don't you think it would be a good idea to publish these error
    codes with an explanation of what they mean? Or at least give your
    email address on the wiki. I had to join another BBS in order to send
    you a message!

    g00r00 isn't quick here and most of us will try to help, I'm Brian and run Mysitc Pi BBS since 2016 or so on a Pi. If you look at the tagline you'll see I'm currently chasing the A47 Alpha version of mystic which is likely near release. My general handle is bcw142 as you should see above.

    Something has to be wrong with your binkp settings for 21:1/100. There is also likely no hole in your router firewall for incoming signals. You can get to other systems so normal outgoing is working. I get through from my work so
    I know even a tricky vpn/firewall can be binkp connected through. I'd say that is the first thing to tackle. I'll have to look at the mystic/docs, but I think the error messages are there if in programeze (header file or the like). Are you using the /999 for binkp or have you got a number from Avon?

    My main BBS system (A Pi) is setup as DMZ on my router, which means all of
    it is directly exposed to the net. Mystic works well to keep the attackers
    out even then. My other systems have holes through the router's firewall.

    I see you used tinysbbs to get through. Mine is at bcw142.zapto.org using mostly standard ports (21, 22, 23, 80...). You'll find a webpage there using the old http://bcw142.zapto.org/ setup (haven't figured out the SSL and such for https on Mystic yet, but the SSH port is working.

    The best tutorials for Mystic setup come from Avon as "Mystic Guy"
    on YouTube. The first things you'll usually see are:
    Mystic BBS - Installing + First Steps
    Mystic BBS - Message Network Setup Part 1
    Mystic BBS - Message Network Setup Part 2

    A telnet error isn't all that important, getting binkp up and running is.
    That would give you a way to get help on your system. Generally you setup
    the system as in the above videos and then use nodespy as a terminal to
    send and receive via mystic. Nodespy should handle the telnet side of
    things without issues. nodespy has a 'phonebok' setup, if you hit spacebar
    on the 'Waiting; lines you'll see the 'phonebook' setup. On empty lines
    you can use Alt-E to edit the 'Phonebook' in nodespy that allows you to
    setup an autodial like entry to reach your bbs and others.
    Graphically the general /999 setup for binkp looks like:

    Thanks for your reply and for taking the time to explain your setup.
    My Binkp is working fine and I have been able to send and receive
    echomail using 21:1/999. The problem I'm having is that I can't telnet
    from one computer to another over the local network. The mis server is
    showing error 1 13, which I have since found out is a permissions
    error. So if I run mis with sudo, the error changes to error 1 98. I
    don't have a firewall running, it's just two computers on the local
    network. Binkp is running with no errors. I can telnet in from one
    computer and log in with my user name, but I am not interfacing with
    mystic even though it is up and running on the other computer. My
    intention was only to apply for a node number once I was able to get
    mystic running on the local network. I have tried linux, windows, and
    OS X and they all act differently but I can't telnet no matter what.s

    It does seem odd, as you may have noticed I'm running on Linux so I use
    sudo ./mis daemon
    to start mystic from in my case the /mystic directory. If you can telnet
    in then you've opened port 23 I guess. Between Linux & Windows I use putty
    and run mystic on Linux. The permissions thing can be tricky and error messages as well, my guess is the 1 is the fpc (Free Pascal Compiler)error
    and the 98 is from mystic. I generally use nodespy between machines and to
    get to the outside world as well. On the machine running mystic you should
    be able to telnet using both nodespy & the normal telnet command though
    you may need to change the general settings in mystic. There are two
    important settings under Configuration, General Settings: Config Theme
    as 3D ANSI and Local Codepage UTF8. Current Linux & Windows are both using
    UTF8 at present by default. The easiest thing to do is using nodespy on
    the machine running mystic, Linux in my case so
    ./nodespy #from /mystic directory
    It should come up with default entries that include localhost or the IP4 address of the machine on the local network (10.0.0.21 in my case). So
    in nodespy hitting space on a waiting line will show the phonebook entries
    with a system name, Address like localhost:23 LastCall date and number of calls. With Alt-E you can edit the entries and use either localhost if on
    the machine or the IP4 address (10.0.0.21 in my case) and both should work fine. To exit a login you can use Alt-X which will 'drop carrier' in the old
    way of looking at it (drop telnet session) and put you back to nodespy. If
    you have mystic on both machines that should all work If not, then putty
    on the remote machine should work (on Linux or Windows). It will need a
    host name or IP4 address for the remote machine and port 23 for telnet with connection type set to Telnet, then give it a name under Saved Sessions
    and click the Save so you can easily call it up after this.and click open.
    The PuTTY window should open with the BBS prompt and login as was done with nodespy locally. If the Mystic screen looks all messed up but the text of the lines is right you want to change a setting in putty, so drop out using
    the close window, it will ask to close this session and click Yes. Start
    putty again pick the saved one and load them click Translation under Window.
    If it says UTF-8 then click on the down arrow at the end of the line and
    pick CP437 and uncheck the Override with UTF-8. Then click Session and Save
    so it will be saved that way and open again. It should appear right now and
    you should login and use the BBS. Everything should look and work correctly. You can google putty to find a version for Windows or generally just load
    it under Linux with:
    sudo apt install putty
    Or using whatever the install setup is for that Linux. Putty will setup the permissions on that end. If your still getting errors from the remote machine, but nodespy worked, then you need to set the permissions for the mystic directory. In my case that's
    sudo chown -R user:user /mystic
    with user as your Linux user name. It will run OK even with mis running and things should work correctly after that. You may want to change or add user names to mystic (./mystic -cfg) and change permissions under mystic for them. under Editors, U User Editor, enter on a user name and Ctrl-U to change the mystic permission level to 20 (regular user) or 255 (sysop) after you've logged off mystic with the remote setup.

    ... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.

    First I would recommend upgrading to the most recent A47 version. http://wwwmysticbbs.com/downloads/prealpha/
    Second a Telnet 1 error means the port is not open. Make sure you have that port open on your router/firewall.

    Sparky, thanks to you and everyone else for your replies and patience. I couldn't reply for a while because i was communicating via Tiny's BBS which has either been down for days or I have been locked out. What i discovered after days of searching and trying is that telnet on the linux machine was already on port 23 and that mystic had to be on another port to respond automatically. That really should be in the documentation. I'm slowly making progress and I will soon apply for a node number from Avon. I really am amazed at the generosity of this community and all that info certainly steered me in the right direction. I hope some day I can return the favors!

    documentation. I'm slowly making progress and I will soon apply for a
    node number from Avon. I really am amazed at the generosity of this community and all that info certainly steered me in the right direction.
    I hope some day I can return the favors!

    Kudos guys for your support helping new folks get into our great hobby.
