GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.

If you insist on installing the crontab without the bbs is complete
you might get a lot of mail from cron complaining about errors.
The default crontab will have entries for regular maintenance.
You need to add entries to start and stop polling fidonet uplinks.
There is a example at the bottom of the crontab which is commented

v1.0.6A 17-Oct-2015 - Vincent coen
1. Amended mbmon.c and mbsetup.c to reflect new hosting
for the sources etc at www.sourceforge.net.
2. Other very minor cosmetics.
v1.0.6 03-Aug-2015 - Andrew Leary
1. Added support for specifying a literal IPv6 address
encased in square brackets for a node. Previously, IPv6 was
only supported for nodes having an AAAA record for their
hostname in DNS.
2. The BBS now allows alphanumeric and punctuation
characters in user passwords. Previously, only alphanumeric
characters were permitted.
3. Several minor grammar and punctuation corrections.
v1.0.5 02-Nov-2014 - Andrew Leary (Never officially released)
1. Adjusted mbcico's .flo file logic to support a space
character as the first character of the .flo file line.
This character indicates that the file named in the
remainder of the line should be sent to the remote system.
This is needed to allow transmitting filenames that start
with .flo file reserved characters such as ^, #, -, or @.
2. Worked on increasing reliability of Binkp NR mode. It
is strongly recommended that CRC mode be enabled for any
node which NR mode is enabled for.
v1.0.4 03-Sep-2014 - Andrew Leary
1. Reverted Vince Coen's packaging changes until an upgrade
script can be written and tested.
2. Added Binkp CRC support (FSP-1020) to mbcico.
3. Changed the No Binkp/1.1 setting for nodes to be
effective on outbound calls only. It was causing issues
with other mailers (including BinkD) on inbound calls,
because mbcico was reporting binkp/1.1 in the VER string and
then downshifting to binkp/1.0.
4. Updated the Internet Rex binkp/1.1 bug workaround to
reflect that versions 2.31 and 2.67 are also affected.
v1.0.3 13-Jun-2014 - Vincent Coen
1. Changed unix/mbuseradd.c
Added extra arg to useradd -p 12345 to avoid a locked
record under Mageia v4 that prevents the password
adding a record due to a file busy may be: Lets see.
No it is not so reverted back.
2. Still looking for cause of bug.
v1.0.2 14-Mar-2014 - Vincent Coen
Changed packaging to use /home/mbse instead of /opt/mbse
to suit users with a seperate / and a /home partitions.
IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE RESULTS FOR AN EXISTING INSTALL
WHERE mbse & bbs users are set up to use /opt/mbse.
YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS MANUALLY.
The supplied INSTALL script has been changed.
To do this you will need to change:
1. Users mbse, bbs and all bbs users to reflect the change
of home directory from /opt/mbse to /home/mbse using your
distro's graphic system editing tool for users or if not
available use usermod via sudo etc:
usermod -m -d /home/mbse mbse
usermod -m -d /home/mbse/home/bbs bbs
usermod -m -d /home/mbse/home/user-name bbs user-name
Note that the '-m' option in usermod option is to move the
contents from the existing to the new location.
You can see the list of bbs users by running:
ls -la /opt/mbse/home
2. Using your favourite editor Change
/etc/services and
/etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs
Replacing all instances of /opt/mbse with
/home/mbse
3. Now do the same with http and ftp config files in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and
/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf (or whatever ftp & web service
you use.
4. Having installed/upgraded the mbse system you must
reboot the system or stop and start mbse, xinetd, ftp,
httpd etc
services. It is easier just shuting down and starting
the system.
5. As su run cp -ap /opt/mbse /home
6. If not already done so, build the system using the usual
./configure & make and now run make install as su or if
not available do, sudo bash then su then make install
7. Change all crontab processes that deal with mbse both as
user mbse and root to reflect new directory using:
crontab -l to see what is current and then as crontab -e
to edit.
8. After rebooting the system check everything is working
Then I would suggest renaming /opt/mbse say from /opt/mbse
/opt/old-mbse and leave it a few days before deleting when
you are SURE that all is working.
9. Now when you change the /boot partition or install a new
version of your distro you can continue to use your /home
as is but do not forget to recreate the crontab, xinetd,
rc.d/init.d/mbseb etc as needed by using cp -vp from the
old partition to the new or failing that create a modified
version of SETUP.sh as needed and run it.
...........NOW READ THE ABOVE, AGAIN..................

MBSEBBS History in 2000.
v0.33.10 24-Jan-2000
general:
Changed version numbering. From now on, minor odd numbers
are testversions, even are stable. Same as with the
Linux kernel.
Changed the setup script, it should now detect SuSE systems.
This is not tested.
update:
Remove (as root) all bbs users from /etc/ftpusers. They are
not needed (and never were).
Compile and install this release.
Kill mbsed (killall -9 mbsed).
Edit $MBSE_ROOT/etc/mbsed.conf, remove the line with logdebug
and the commentlines above.
Start mbsed again (/opt/mbse/bin/mbsed).
Then start mbsetup, open the global menu 1, and exit. Answer
yes to update.
If you have any echomail passthru areas, give them a
message base path. Passthru doesn't exist anymore.
common.a:
The file_crc function now supports the usleep(1) code
for background processing.
The logfunctions now replace <cr> and <lf> with spaces.
msgbase.a:
Corrected a bug in the Pack function when the headerfile
was corrupt. If the header is corrupt, the index file is
used to find the right recordposition again. Errors are
logged.
mbsed:
Removed the logdebug loglevels. Logging is fixed now.
Changed the answers for the SBBS command.
mbsetup:
Added a global setup screen for the ftp server.
Added a switch in the menus setup for doors to set a flag
to create door.sys files for dosemu/Vmodem use.
Revised the message area setup screen.
Changed text's in global mailer setup to indicate that the
mailer flags are for TCP/IP connections.
mbuseradd:
Doesn't add usernames anymore to /etc/ftpusers. This is not
needed for standard ftp security.
mbcico:
Added send filerequest to the binkp protocol. In single
batch mode, you need to connect a second time to get the
request response. This is normal single batch behaviour.
Nodelist flag for Binkp mode is XX. (For POTS/ISDN XA).
Added received filerequest to the binkp protocol. In single
batch mode this will put the files on hold. Multiple batch
mode works now but is only tested against another mbcico
mailer.
Calling internet nodes could not use a forced hostname or
IP address. Fixed. Added search in nodes setup phone
fields for hostname/IP address, search in nodelist location
entry (2 nodes on the world do that, I needed one of them),
and the IP notation in the nodelist phone field (000-...).
Hostnames after the flags are not resolved, hostnames
should be in the system name field.
In the binkp protocol the flags from the global mailer
setup are sent as our flags.
mbsebbs:
The next two pathes are from Ken Bowley.
Changed the fullscreen editor with patches from Ken Bowley.
Improved behaviour for inserting and deleting text.
Changed the door.sys creation, if the COM port option in
the menu files is on, the door.sys file writes COM1 in
it with a portspeed of 115200. This is for running doors
under dosemu and a patched Vmodem.
Made newmail scan and other checks for personal mail case
insensitive.
The fullscreen editor source now has an extra define FSEDIT
to enable heavy debugging logs.
It didn't respect the BBS closed status on lines that did
not honor ZMH status.
Removed "Re:" debug logging from mail.c
mbfido:
Corrected the queue path for tic passthru areas, the
destination path missed a /.
Delete file from the inbound with passthru areas is now at a
later point.
Removed the message passthru switch, you needed and area
anyway.
mbstat:
Corrected screen output when it was waiting for the bbs to
close.
mbftpd:
New! Special ftp server for MBSE BBS. Should use BBS users
access restrictions etc. Doesn't work yet so don't use it.
It is included in the distribution, but not compiled or
installed.
v0.33.11 07-Mar-2000
upgrade:
Change the CLIENT line in ~/etc/mbsed.conf, the authcode must
now come behind the hostname. Remove the AUTHCODE line.
Kill the old mbsed, start the version from this version.
The same changes must be made to ~/etc/client.conf
Run mbsetup, goto 1.17 and 1.18 and set it up for your system.
Check the QWK area names in the message areas: if there are
areanames longer then 13 characters edit them so that they
fit in the 13 characters limit. In previous versions this field
was 20 characters.
general:
Added global config to create www pages for downloads.
Included the mbftpd directory in the main Makefile. Don't use
the mbftpd program yet!
Updated the documentation, some parts were 2 versions behind.
common.a:

close the server connection.
mbsed:
The syntax of the client lines in mbsed.conf is changed,
multiple lines are now allowed, hostnames and authcodes must
be on one line now.
It is now possible to close the connection when not authorized.
Minimized the number of response codes. Updated the
documentation.
mbsetup:
Added global setup menu for the html pages creation.
The length of the QWK area names in the message areas setup
is changed from 20 to 13 characters for the QWK specifications.
Removed selection of menu number 216 from the menu editor.
mball:
The index command now also creates index.html files for web
clients. The index files are stored in the download directories.
If a download directory contains .gif or .jpg files then
thumbnails will be created and the thumbnails will be used in
in the index.html files.
You need "convert" of the ImageMagick package to use that
future.
mbfile:
Added 'index*' to the list of filenames that isn't checked
with the mbfile check option.
Pack and Move file functions will now also delete or move the
thumbnail files.

^aTOPT kludge. Any missing ^aTOPT, ^aFMPT and ^aINTL kludges
are now added if they were not found during mailscan.
The unarc/viruscheck directory is now completly removed after
use and created again. Sometimes files with strange names
were left behind with a normal recursive remove.

MBSEBBS History in 2001.
v0.33.16 07-Jan-2001
upgrade:
Edit the crontab to comment out the lines with run_inout,
mailer and mbstat check.
Compile the sources.
Stop the bbs, kill mbsed.
Install the new binaries.
Start the bbs as root with the new init script. It will be
in some init.d subdirectory depending on your distribution.
If you can't find it, reboot.
If you want to start using the newsgate, run mbfido news -learn
the first time to learn which articles there are.
Edit menu item 1.14.3 and check that it's empty if you don't
use it.
CRON.sh:
Removed the lines that ware replaced by the mbtask program.
SETUP.sh
Changed binkd into binkp because binkp is the official protocol
name.
Corrected a problem installing on a system without shadow
passwords.
Removed the part where the init scripts are installed. They
are now in a new script in the script directory.
clcomm.a:
New function Syslogp, to log unformatted strings, the normal
formatted string logfunction did hang sometimes when logging
strings containing the % character.
Improved some error messages in the NNTP and SMTP connections.
common.a:
Protected uniq_list and sort_list against NULL pointers.
Handles the error strings now if there is a $ at the start
of an logstring. This was only in the daemon but that didn't
give the right errorstrings. Nobody noticed this error has
been here from the beginning.
Protected the chkftnmsgid function from NULL input.
libdbase.a:
Dupe checking databases are now loaded in memory when needed
and written to disk only once when ready.
general:
Two new global switches, don't regate and allow control
messages.
Changed the maptab cp437__iso-8859-1 to translate 8bits dos
graphics to 7bits characters to make all fancy dos like
textboxes more readable on Unix systems.
New setup parameters for UUCP newsfeeds.
Added support for the PPC cpu.
mbtask:
New daemon. Takes over the functions of the run_inout and
mailer scripts. This program launches every program needed
to run the bbs. It will also check Zone Mail Hour.
mbsed:
Corrected a spelling error in the program header.
Made the userlog full transparant.
Fixed a memory leak in the userlog function.
Changed file locking of mbsed status files to use fcntl()
instead of placing lockfiles.
mbfido:
Protected the rfcmsgid function against NULL input.
Build some protection against too long lines in ftn messages
that were gated from rfc and regated to news.
Removed a lot of #ifdef statements for gating behaviour and
made a lot of code permamenent.
Original code for #ifdef ALLOW_CONTROL and DONT_REGATE is now
under control of configuration settings.
Forwarded files had an old copyright message in the tic files.
When sending messages to the SNMP or NNTP servers a line with
only a dot in it will be sent as a space and a dot to prevent
that the server thinks it's the end of the message.
When sending or forwarding messages to a destination with a
routevia address, the arcmail will be packed with the flavor
of the new destination node.
Magic execute uses the exec call now instead of the system
call, the programs to execute must now be in MBSE_ROOT/bin or
it will fail.
If a MSGID is missing the dupecheck includes the message text
in the dupecheck. (Redy).
Local posted echomail gated to news has now the right From:
address format and the right UTC time.
Imported news messages had an AREA: line in the message text.
Gating news to echomail doesn't crash anymore. Fixed several
bugs to make this finally work.
During gating news to echomail the mbmon program now displays
what is going on.
Added usleep code during news scanning.
The program is now installed setuid mbse and setgid bbs. This
allows it to be called by other users as mbse.
New commandline, uucp. This allows mbfido to process incoming
uucp newsbatches. Call it from uucp by:
cat newsbatch | /opt/mbse/bin/mbfido uucp -quiet or
cat newsbatch | /opt/mbse/bin/mbnews
It will handle compressed and uncompressed newsbatches.
If a scanned netmail should be send via your own UUCP gate, the
message will be handled further by the ExportEmail function.
All other UUCP destinations will be send via the remote UUCP
systems.
News articles that need to be send via NNTP are now first stored
in a temporary file. At the end of the mbfido run it will try
to post these articles. If it fails (newsserver down), the temp
file stays for a later try.
Added newsserver options for submitting articles via rnews and
to an UUCP remote host.
Added alias database again that was in the original ifmail.
Made a universal email post function.
Removed sourcefiles addos.*, they were not used.
If in configuration the root for the html pages is blank, then
no html pages will be created.
Netmail send to "ping" are bounced back to the sender if your
system is the final destination. If such a netmail is passing
thrue, the receiver is notified (trace). All ^aVia lines are
added to the replies. Systems running MBSE 0.33.16 and up may
now add the PING flag to the nodelist.
mbmail:
If there is no Organization header, the BBS default origin
line will be used.
Removed a lot of #ifdef statements for gating behaviour and
made a lot of code permamenent.
Original code for #ifdef ALLOW_CONTROL and DONT_REGATE is
now under control of configuration settings.
The packet routing is now determined using the mail tracker.
The point of splitting large messages is now set at the point
from the setup instead of hardcoded at 12 Kbytes.
The program is now installed setuid mbse and setgid bbs so that
braindead MTA's can still deliver mail to the Fidonet.
Mail for users at your own bbs is now imported into the netmail
board.
Added REPLYTO: REPLYADDR: and MSGID: kludges if these where
not yet present in the message.
Added alias database again that was in the original ifmail.
mbsetup:
In menu 1.13 added allow control and don't regate setup.
In all menus the default prompt selection is now "-" instead
of "0", so just pressing enter will leave from a menu.
When editing a new message area the area is automatic made
active when you assign a group to the area.
Most databases now create default records the first time.
The sitedoc pages for the tty lines were to big for each
printed page.
Splitted menu 1.13 in a Fidonet and Internet part, added setup
parameters for UUCP newsfeeds.
In the services setup the UUCP/Email entry is now added for
first time installations.
mbmon:
In all menus the default prompt selection is now "-" instead
of "0", so just pressing enter will leave from a menu.
mbout:
Fixed the helpscreen.
mbstat:
Removed the check command, this is now done by the mbtask
daemon.
mbcico:
Doesn't use tmpnam anymore during execute magic request.
The openfile function doesn't use tempnam anymore if a filename
is created after 62 name bumps.
When searching for a matching aka and your first aka is
disabled the first active aka is used as default.
The closefile function doesn't use the tempnam function anymore.
mbsebbs:
When posting news articles when not permament connected to the
internet, the From address will be Fido style.
Messages for offline packets are now packed using the
following tests:
- If area is netmail then only personal messages are
included (unchanged).
- If area is not netmail, and msg-kinds are private then
only personal messages are included.
- If area is not netmail, and msg-kinds are both (pvt/pub)
then personal messages and messages without pvt flag are
included.
- Otherwhise all messages are included in the packet.
Removed debug messages for the POP3 protocol.
mbpasswd:
Fixed a compile problem on systems without shadow passwords.
Thanks to Mario Mure.
Corrected a missing library in salt.c
Corrected a missing conditional header file in encrypt.c
mbmsg:
Wrote wrong CHRS kludge in the post function.
mbfile:
Warns about empty file areas during kill files.
v0.33.17 21-May-2001
upgrade:
Compile the sources.
Stop the bbs using the init script mbsed as root:
Slackware 7.0 and older: /opt/mbse/etc/rc.shutdown

Install the new programs.
Start the bbs using the examples above and use the word start.
Use mbsetup menu 1.18 to change the Zone Mail Hour if you are
not in Fidonet zone 2.
general:
The daemon mbsed is now obsolete, all these functions are now
in the mbtask daemon. For client/server communications Unix
Datagram sockets are used instead of TCP stream sockets.
Italian language added, translated by nervous@nervous.it
Spanish language added, translated by Redy Rodriguez.
JAM messagebase locking is now according to the JAM specs.

Added in file area setup and message area setup the description
of the global commands.
SETUP.sh:
Removed installing mbse as port in /etc/services
common.a:
The diskfree check now ignores a mounted filesystem at /boot
because that filesystem is usually small and not needed by
mbse.
The diskfree check should support reiserfs now (not tested).
Code and logging cleanup in packet.c
dbase.a:
Removed debug logging from the dupes databases.
mbinet.a:
When an NNRP server asked for authentication after the first
command instead of after connect, the user authentication
wasn't started.
mbsed:
Obsolete and removed.
mbtask:
Does all things mbsed used to do, it uses Unix Datagram sockets
to communicate with the clients.
If IP addresses to test are entered in the setup it will check
if the internet connection is available with ICMP ping.
Added Internet connection status, system running status and
system load average to the GSTA command for mbmon.
Create's the file ~/etc/config.data if it doesn't exist and
fills it with default parameters.
Note: the internet connection status is for future use.
mbfido:
The pktdate logresult is now only displayed if there was
something wrong.
The Checkdupe fallback logmessage is removed.
Corrected a small bug in the news to echomail gate to get the
correct replyto and replyaddr kludges in the messages.
Changed the tosspkt messages read functions back to the way it
was so the namefield may be exactly 36 characters long excluding
the null terminator.
The PING function didn't work if the message came from a node
not in the setup.
The PING reply now has a Re: prepended.
The scannews function now acts better on nntp error conditions.
Local posted echomail dropped the subject when it was gated to
news.
If imported netmail doesn't have a FMPT kludge and there is
pointinfo in the MSGID line, the pointinfo is taken from the
MSGID line.
Improved the TRACE message of the PING function to make it
more clear that it is a TRACE message.
The PING reply now uses the aka from address that was original
the destination address instead of the matched aka in the
reply message.
Added a hack to try to process .tic files that are not lowercase
filenames.
Added support for a system alias file to convert fidonet
addresses to RFC addresses.
In the mbnews function the tests for the headers Newsgroups:
and Message-ID: are now case insensitive.
File attaches with the leave case option set did not get the
TFS or KFS flags set in the attachement.
mbdiff:
Removed some debugging logmessages.
mbfile:
Removed some unnecessary logmessages.
mbmon:
When viewing the bbs lastcaller list the clock wasn't updated.
The <host> commandline option doesn't work anymore because we
now use Unix Datagram sockets to communicate with the server,
so we must be on the same system.
Added Internet status, running status and system load average
to the Server Statistics screen.
Minor adjustments to the screen layout of the Filesystem Usage
screen.
mbindex:
Sends the correct IsDoing information to mbtask during sort and
write.
mbsetup:
Added setup screen for the task manager.
Some menus didn't have the default "-" character in the prompt.
The language setup now adds Italian and Spanish on new

mbtask.
In golded.inc AKAMATCHECHO is no YES.
In golded.inc writing the AKAMATCH aka's other then fidonet
didn't really match the aka's, the main aka was written instead.

in stead of 80 characters length.
Moved the Nopper call in the fullscreen editor to a place were
it always should work.
mbcico:
The session debug logmessages are set to the special loglevel.
Implemented EMSI-II, FSC-0088.
When calling a TCP/IP node with hostname in nodelist system
name and a valid phonenumber, and if the hostname could not
be resolved, mbcico would dialout and try to establish a
TCP/IP session over the modem connection. Now the TCP/IP
flags are cleared and mbcico will fallback to valid old style
phone sessions.
In binkp added the M_NUL PHN and M_NUL OPM to log if they are
received from the remote. We also send these flags.
In binkp we now always send and empty dataframe after a file

directory Maildir with subdirs cur, new and tmp are created,
also owned by the user. Some MTA's need this (Qmail).
Doesn't create the .hushlogin file anymore, not needed.
mbmsg:
Now runs umask(007)
mbuser:
If users at the end of the userbase are deleted and the database
should be truncated, these users were not removed from the Unix
system and their homedirectories weren't removed also.
Added a check to see if the sysop defined in the main config
also exists in the user database because these two must match.
mbstat:
Added the semafore command to set internal mbtask semafore's.
script/installinit:
Corrected a bug for Slackware 7.0.0 were the wrong initscripts

Removed the subdirectory for this not finished program. It may
or may not return later.
mbfido:
Filefind replies had a wrong ^aREPLY kludge.
Rewrote a lot of code so that similar functions are only once
present. This will make bughunting and maintaining much easier.
Scanned netmail from point addresses created with GoldED are
now always checked for missing FMPT, TOPT and INTL kludges and
they are inserted when missing.
The checkdupe switch also work in uucp mode (mbnews).
The code for mbmail is now merged into mbfido. A symlink from
mbmail to mbfido is created to let mbfido run in mail mode.
The syntax to call mbmail is changed.
Implemented processing ^aFLAGS for received netmail (FSC-0053).
mbmail:
Obsolete, the functions are now in mbfido.
mbtask:

reports database is converted on the fly.
All path variables now have a length of PATH_MAX.
When mbsetup is started, all databases not present are created
and when needed filled with default records.
There is now one possible commandline parameter: init. This
should be used only once (but doesn't hurt if run more then
once) on a new installation.
A check is build in that mbsetup is started by user mbse.
Fixed segfault error during exit of mbsetup when writing the
golded.inc file when the bbs is more or less unconfigured.
The file golded.inc is now only rewritten if changes are made

upgrade:
Announce any new files you might have. If you run mbtoberep
it should display no data anymore.
Change the file /opt/mbse/etc/issue like the example in the
subdirectory mbtask.
Change the shell for user "bbs" to /opt/mbse/bin/mbnewusr
The make install fixes several permissions that are wrong for
the new style (not setuid) of mbsebbs.
Remove /opt/mbse/etc/maint to let it replace with a new
version, or change it by hand.
On RedHat, Mandrake or e-smith systems remove the existing
start and stop commands with the runlevel editor, they will
be installed with other values when the system is installed.
If you forget this then mbsebbs will start and stop twice.
After compilation and installation run "mbfile check" to
update all file entries in the files database. This give a lot
of output in the logfile, don't worry about it.
In mbsetup 18 (task manager) set the fields 18, 19 and 20 to
the right values of your system. Also consider the setting
of field 13, set it to Yes if you cannot have a internet
connection at the same time when normal dial to fidonet is
needed. All other users, (more modems, cable/ADSL etc) set
this to No.
Fill in the right IP addresses in fields 11 and 12 of your
ISP's nameservers. If you don't have internet, fill these
with 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 as dummy addresses.
Change the startup program in /etc/inetd.conf for telnet if
you previously used mbsebbs to mblogin.
Change the default login program in mgetty's login.config to
* - - /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin @
general:
Made the Makefile system more simple. The bbs program now
doesn't run setuid anymore! This makes the system more secure.
A new program, mblogin, is written to allow logins with
Fidonet style names from mgetty and telnetd. This is a login
replacement for bbs use only. Normal shell users can't login,
not even root!
On FreeBSD the installed files are not removed anymore from
the source tree.
Added German language file made by Harald Wuensch.
The mbtask daemon now handles the calling of Fidonet nodes.

When adding seenby entries, the zone number is copied from the
previous adress just like with the net numbers. This is for
old style tic files, they were not full 3d.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
The nodelist information now also holds the Txx flags.
The mkdirs function now needs a mode parameter for directory
creation.
The filesystem space check is now reliable on FreeBSD and
NetBSD.

mbsetup:
Changed usereditor, new layout, added new settings and
changed password reset function. The system password is
now also updated.
Added setup item for menus 317 and 318.
Changed the order of menu 1, global settings. The screens are
now in a more logical order for a first system setup.
Most datafiles are now saved mode 0640 exept the files that
need to be rewritten by users, they have mode 0660.
The filemodes are always checked and corrected during startup.
In the file database editor the default choice was 0 in stead
of -.
When a file area is made unavailable in menu 8.4, first the
files in that area area checked. If there are none, the area
is completly removed, including paths, indexes and database.
When an new area is made available, the database is created.
The AREADEF lines in golded.inc now contain the aka to use
instead of a dot.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
Now logs in the normal system logfile.

to these areas. Also 10 oneliners are installed.
Changed help for nodes billing flag.
Changed users password length to 14 characters instead of 12.
When you make a tty line available, some settings are
automatic set to reasonable defaults.

overflow.
Menu 5.1.14, helpstring was too long, causing a buffer

signed using the .signature file.
Patches from Bobby Cabral:
- Fixed display file with more that stopped after every line.

If in menu entries "Display prompt" the fore and background
colors are set, the prompt is displayed with these colors.
If not, the prompt defaults to white on black.
Does now run as the users uid, not suid anymore. You are not
able to login with Fidonet style name anymore, the mblogin
program does this. Removed IEMSI support, this has no use
anymore. New users need to register with the mbnewuser
program, mbsebbs is only for registered users. This should
fix all kinds of setuid and security problems with previous
versions.
In the door.sys files is now a nodenumber written. This is
actually the tty record number.
QuickScan messages in netmail areas now only shows personal
messages.
The whoson list now uses mbtask to get the information.

known archives. Should catch macro viri and worms.
The file CRC is now set when importing an uploaded file.
Fixed quote initials of the original user containing a space
character if there was a dot followed by a space in the users
name.
If Ask Date of Birth is not set in the configuration the user
can't change his date of birth and his age is 0 years. You
should not disable this if you restrict access to some file
areas if you want to test the users age. Also the age in the
users record is invalid.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
System calls for archivers and virus scanners are replaced
with execute.
During startup the username is tried from the environment
variables LOGNAME and USER.
Added some automatic file permission corrections.
mbnewusr:
New program, run by user bbs. This is only to register a new
bbs user. Should be started by the bbs account.
Ask Date of Birth now only is asked if set in configuration.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
mbpasswd:
Added more checks to see if it's legal invoked.
Password change on FreeBSD finally works.
Moved to new sourcetree.
Ported to NetBSD.
mblogin:
New program. Replaces standard login, allows Fidonet style
usernames. Has it's own login.defs file.
mbcico:
Undefined IEMSI support since mbsebbs doesn't support it
anymore.
Filerequest responses are now created with long filenames.
When sending files, if the remote has the FNC link flag, the
filename is mangled to DOS 8.3 format when transmitted.
File request response messages now display the long and
short filename in the reply.
Filerequest response messages now have a random quote added.
The binkp driver now sends 8.3 mangled filenames if that
option is set for the remote node in the setup.
The hydra driver now sends 8.3 mangled filenames and long
filenames as specified in the specs.
Corrected the location of the modem lockfile on FreeBSD.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
When a session fails, the node status retry time is current
time + random dial delay time. Needed for mbtask.
mbout:
Fixes for Linux Sparc systems.
The node query now displays the system open times (Txx) flags.
The node query now also displays the CM,MO flags etc.
mbtask:
Changed to handle the External Doors flag in the lastcaller
information.
On new systems, ~/etc/config.data and ~/etc/task.data are
created with mode 0640.
On new systems, the DOS path isn't set anymore by default,
most people don't need it.
Starting utilities is now more relaxed using a 3 seconds
pause timer. Fixed some potential Sparc problems.
On new systems, all paths for MBSE are now created in the
/opt/mbse root.
When scanning outbound, flags are set if flo or mail pkt files
are present.
When the internet connection status changes, the outbound is
rescanned.
Implemented Txx nodelist flags, FSC-0062.
Added code to see which nodes could be called depending on
outbound status, nodelist flags etc. Experimental.
Added code to do outbound calling, experimental. Calling
systems in parallel is now possible.
Creates the semafore do_inet if there is an internet node to
call even if there's no internet connection. Removes this
semafore if there are no internet nodes to call. This can be
used by ppp scripts to see if there is work and when there is
no more work to do. Not important for permament connected
systems.
Made the FreeBSD and NetBSD disk status calls reliable now
that I know how to really get the mounted filesystems.
The system load value is implemented on FreeBSD and NetBSD.
mbmon:
Changed the lastcaller screen to display the External Door
information.
When lastcaller info is scrolling, the lines are first proper
erased.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
Added support for display do_inet semafore in menu 2.
mbmsg:
Corrected header in logfile for pack function.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
import:
Removed users import, could not work anymore.
mbfido:
When running in mbmail mode, it will try to get the lock on
the program for 10 minutes before aborting and waits until
another mbfido program is ready.
Fixed the problem that the KillSent flag was set on processed
netmail.
Reset the KillSent and Hold flags when storing netmail in the
message base.
The tic file import function now sorts and tests on long file-
names, with the new mangle function an DOS 8.3 filename is
also stored in the file database.
For all files received in tic area, the crc of the tic area
name is stored in the filerecord. This is for the future
rescan option.
Implemented long filenames with hatch. Now uses ticfile key-
word Fullname for the long filename.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
File forwarding now really depends on the downlink billing
flag.
Now limits fetching of newsheaders according to area setting.
Added the Size parameter to the tic files, this appeared to
be missing since a while.
Fixes for Fido->internet gate for dropped characters during
linewrap. Experimental.
Added netmail bounce function.
Protected the postemail function from posting to local FTN
addresses, this will cause a mailloop for undeliverable mail.
These mails will be bounced back.
mbfile:
During checks the file databases are reset to filemode 0660.
Implemented "mbfile adopt" function.
Started working on long filename support. The real name on
disk is the long filename, the database records also holds
an uppercase mangled 8.3 filename. In most cases this is just
the same name in upper and lowercase. Name mangling like Win$
is performed on the long filenames.
Implemented "mbfile import" function, this imports complete
areas from files.bbs information.
Added "mbfile toberep" function, this gives an overview of the
toberep database. The program mbtoberep does this as well, but
that one gives a complete dump and is for developer use.
The "mbfile index" function now also writes files.bbs files,
the index.html files for http download and 00index files in
all available areas. The files.bbs files have download
counters included.
The mbfile check function now converts the short filenames
to DOS 8.3 filenames. (The first time this logs lots of
errors).
The mbfile list function now gives a listing of the contents
of a file area if the area number is given as argument.

Fixed index screens to prevent negative totals with large
filebases.
Added standard doctype header and commentline to the html
pages.
The mbfile check function deletes double filerecords in the
database.
mball:
The index function is now obsolete, this is added to mbfile.
You may need to adjust your scripts that call "mball index".
Fixes for Sparc systems.
Fixed to prevent negative values with large filebases.
mbaff:
Fixes for Sparc systems.
Fix for large filebases, could not run longer then 10 minutes.
mbindex:
Fixes for Sparc systems.
mbdiff:
Fixes for Sparc systems.

MBSEBBS History in 2002.
v0.36.00 26-Dec-2002 - stable release
update:
These are the total update instructions for the upgrade from
v0.33.21 until v0.36.00. Read and perform this upgrade with
great care, this one is quite complicated.
Make sure you don't have download files with case differences
in download directories like FileName.zip and FILENAME.ZIP.
With this upgrade files with such names will be deleted!
Rename them before you upgrade!
Make sure your outbound is empty, "mbout stat" should not show
anything in the outbounds. You may delete ~/bin/mbfido before
you do this so when you deliver all pending mail no new mail
will be tossed. New mail will stay in your inbound now.
Now backup your whole bbs and download areas!
Compile the new bbs programs, do not yet install them.
Shutdown the bbs with "mbstat close". Kill the mbtask daemon.
Depending on your distribution as root you can do
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed stop", the location may vary.
Delete ~/etc/lastcall.data
Delete ~/etc/archiver.data
Delete ~/etc/virscan.data
Because the macro template files are changed and you may have
personalized them, these files are not automatic upgraded. If
you want them to be upgraded delete all files in
~/english/macro .
Now install all new binaries (su to root, make install).
Delete ~/bin/mbfido again (to prevent tossing mail).
Back as user mbse again, start mbtask by typing mbtask at the
commandline. Now you are ready to check and update the changes.
Start mbsetup, enter global configuration and exit and save.
This will set defaults for area-/filemgr logging and security.
The noderecords are updated with new security flags.
This will setup the new outbound queue path, default is
/opt/mbse/var/queue.
The filegroups, ticgroups, tic areas and message areas are
updated with default security flags.
In mbsetup enter Edit Fidonet Nodes. You might want to check
if all the session passwords are still ok. Also check all
nodes if the Pack mail flag is ok, this setting now also
affects echomail!
In nodes screen 1, enter item 2: "Outbox dir" to set a outbox
directory if you want that. This will propose a directory name,
change that if you like to for example to a system or sysop
name. Don't use spaces!
Check new settings in nodes setup, screen 6, items 9 and 10.
Item 9 does not work if the node uses BBBS and maybe others.
If the node uses Allfix or MBSE, 9 and 10 can be Yes.
Check TIC magic records (menu 10.4), all filenames tested are
now uppercase 8.3 names, adjust your filemasks.
In mbsetup enter the Edit Archiver Programs. The new values
should now be set. Do the same for Virus scanners.
This is all for mbsetup.
Run "mbfile check". This will create an error in the logfile
for each file! It will update the filenames on disk to have
both short and long filenames. Just ignore the errors but check
for real deleted files.
Now you are ready, install the binaries again so that mbfido
is present again and you can toss mail. Do this with
"mbstat set mailin", after a while all mail and files will be
tossed and you are back in bussines again.
Have fun.
changes:
See all changes from development version 0.35.01 upto 0.33.07.
MBSEBBS History.
v0.35.07 11-Dec-2002 - 26-Dec-2002
general:
On FreeBSD the lsz and lrz programs are found as alternate for
lz and sz.
common.a:
For testing purposes of the ESLF (Extended St. Louis Format)
nodelist, debugging is added to show the information in the
ESLF lines. Only visible with utilities debug 's'.
mbsebbs:
With menu 201 there is now a new optional data parameter N.
When used if a user selects a different message area, areas
with new unread mail are marked with a yellow star.
Also with menu 201 these is now options U+ and U-, which
takes the user to the next or previous Unread message area.
mbfile:
The index command displays LFN names in the webpages again.
The real download still sends the 8.3 name.
mbfido:
Better detection of zone information in netmails when netmail
was stored in a netmail packet of a different network and the
netmail misses a lot of kludges. Better logging of processed
netmails.
If a TIC file woth lowercase 8.3 filename is received the name
is forced to uppercase 8.3.
mbcico:
Code cleanup in opentcp, better handling of given ports and
better logging.
v0.35.06 13-Nov-2002 - 11-Dec-2002
templates:
The html templates are changed by Joachim Kuwan and now they
are valid html files validated at http://validator.w3.org/
This upgrade is not automatic because you might have personal
changes in the templates that I do not want to overwrite.
Another one changed is areamgr.status, that one had an error
and did display garbage for the routevia address.
They are in ~/mbsebbs-0.xx.xx/examples/templates.tar and should
go into ~/english/macro/
Some other templates are changed because they had spelling
errors, you may want to replace all templates.
general:
Added better support for 8.3 and long filenames by creating
symbolic links in the download directories.
common.a:
Changed the LFN name mangle functions to prevent 8.3 name
collisions. Now the basepart is 4 characters followed by the
tilde char and then a 3 characters code calculated from the
16 bits crc of the original filename. Original this was base 5
followed by a tilde and 2 characters code calculated from the
checksum of the string modulo 1849. Both methods are different
then what MS does.
Added long extension to 3 char extensions for mpeg, smil, perl,
jpeg and tiff.
The unpack function doesn't complain anymore when it was
testing for the archive format on files smaller then 257 bytes.
mbsebbs:
Several user input functions don't allow comma's anymore.
Uploaded files will now also have a symbolic link to then
long filename from the real 8.3 filename.
Filesearch on filename now uses regexp to find the files.
The caller id didn't show up when the info was available.
A user with only a limit on download files or download Kb could
not download at all.
mbfido:
TIC file forwarding now uses a list of qualified systems to
forward to, and with this information builds more reliable
seen-by lines.
Imported tic files with a new banner file in the archive got
the wrong filetime in the files database. The mbfile check
command would detect and correct this.
TIC files added to the bbs will now also have a long filename
symbolic link.
With TIC file attaches, the filename attached is the 8.3 name.
TIC processing completly modified to make better LFN support,
internal everything works on the 8.3 filename.
When writing ticfiles for downlinks, the To line now depends
on the new nodes setting.
When writing ticfiles for downlinks, the format of the Seenby
lines now depends on the new nodes setting.
When adding unpacked mail for a directory node, the mail
packets had the wrong filename.
Changed some logging to debug with auto create areas.
Request messages sent to the uplinks are now logged in the
manager logfile.
Removed heavy debugging on some parts of RFC message
processing.
During toss the Nopper code is called to prevent timeout when
a very large packet is tossed that takes longer then 10 mins.
When more then 1024 dupes were tossed, mbfido crashed because
a temp file wasn't closed.
The echomail dupecheck doesn't check the seconds of the message
date anymore. This will catch some rescanned dupes that modify
the seconds of the original messages.
mbcico:
With filetransfer errors, the attempts counter was not
increased.
mbfile:
Finished complete support for 8.3 and long filenames.
The check function now creates symbolic links in the download
areas with the 8.3 filename to the long filename so that the
files seem to exist under both names.
The delete and move functions can now use 8.3 or long
filenames as argument.
The index function now creates web pages with the uppercase
8.3 filename (including thumbnails) because webservers don't
allow downloads from symlinks and the LFN is a symlink. You
could allow your webserver to do this but this is a big
security hole.
mbsetup:
In filedatabase editor, if a file is deleted the name is
displayed in light blue.
Added setup switches in nodes setup, files, to toggle sending
advanced seen-by lines and the To line in ticfiles.
mbtask:
The outbound status didn't show the new error codes.
v0.35.05 19-Oct-2002 - 13-Nov-2002.
general:
There is now a mberrors.h file that defines all errorcodes
returned by all programs.
faq:
Changed the section about ftp feeds.
Added Q&A about failing internet polls.
mbsebbs:
Email posted at the bbs was not signed with the signature.
Fixed the bug where the filearea number was lost. This was
caused when a user was logged off before the login procedure
was complete.
If user was displaying the whoson list and there was no
matching isdoing action then browsing will be displayed
instead of system error.
Sends Unix name instead of long name to mbtask.

Sends Unix name instead of long name to mbtask.
During login the OS and CPU type is displayed.
mbmon:

doing field is increased to 26 characters.
mbcico:
Fixed crash with incoming YooHoo session with bad password.
Still used the phone override fields for hostname override
with internet calls if there was something filled in.
For inbound sessions if the remote is listed in some nodelist,
mbtask is updated with the sysop name and location.
mbout:
The stat command now also shows what is on hold for a node
with an directory outbound (ftp node). Status is always hold.
mbmsg:
The summary counters in the logfile are increased to 6 digits.
mbsetup:
When installing the default unarchivers (new installations)
the rar is used to unarchive instead of unrar when available,
rar is compiled static and prefered.
Added support for the nomarch unarchiver. Files are extracted
with the -U switch for nodelists.
Removed from Screen 1.13 the unused switches Res Future and
Repl ext. Fixed some help texts.
Added in screen 1.14 settings for Plus All, Notify, Passwd and
Pause.
Removed the default Virnet record from the fidonet setup.
In node setup the pack netmail switch is renamed and is now
for all mail. Default for new records is Yes.
Added length check when importing taglines.
Now writes also ~/etc/msg.txt for MsgEd after messagebase is
updated.
When a new echomail area was created with a default group
setting, then when the group was selected setup would create
the jam basepath itself instead of using the base from the
group.
New JAM areas will not have spaces anymore in the pathnames.
Spaces are replaced by underscores.
mbfido:
With ticfile processing, the KeepDate setup setting now works.
The FileMgr requests now honor the setting of the switches
Plus All, Notify, Passwd, Message, Tic on/off and Pause.
The AreaMgr reuqests now honor the setting of the switches
Plus All, Notify, Passwd and Pause.
Echomail is now also packed or not according to the packmail
switch in mbsetup.
Statistics count for exported echomail now works.
Email posted in the email box in full domain mode was refused
by SMTP servers because of bad address formatting.
Addex extra check to prevent overflow of arcmail packets
extension. This is logged with a warning when this happens.
If filenames were exhausted and the last one (ending on z) is
truncated in the outbound (has been sent already) it is erased
before the archiver is called to reuse that filename again.
When mail/files were moved to the inbound from a directory
node, this was not processed in the same session.
Moved the ^aTID kludge to the top of the exported message
after the last kludge so people won't complain anymore.
With local hatched files, the aka of the tic area was not added
to the seenby list.
mbtask:

outbound directory instead of the point outbound.
Files and echomail security flags implemented.
Echomail rescan will also work with newsgroups.
Removed some debug logging with files replace.
Fixed trashing news dupes file when mbfido was called multiple
times. Improved program locking.

general:
Now compiles and installs on HP-PARISC hardware, tested with
Debian 3.0 on a HP 712/80.
common.a:
Added nodelist override to the nodelist lookup function.
Added protection against emty rfc headers with only a space.
Added test for HA archiver.
mbinet.a:
If during a connect a newsserver refuses the connection then
don't close our side of the connection. This is a temporary
solution, we should disconnect with timeout instead.
lang:
Corrected a spelling error in the Dutch language file.
mbcico:
Changed IsDoing information.
Makes use of the node nodelist override settings.
Fixed a bug that mbcico refused to do internet calls when one
of the No IBN, No ITN or No IFC flags was set.

Implemented directory inbound tossing and outbound queueing.
Rewrote the outbound queue system, the queue now works for
files also.
Removed debug logline with extract of FILE_ID.DIZ.
When a file is imported with a name that is already present,
the existing filerecord is updated and not replaced.
There are people using M$ wordprocessors to create TIC files,
there is now better filtering to get that garbage out of the
received tic files. We will forward plain ascii of course.
Fixed the outbound queue to send to nodes not in the setup.
When mbfido stops with error 110 it doesn't remove any locks
because this error is only being used before that main lock is
made.
Changed the error codes during init until the main lock is
made, this must prevent destroying a another lock.
Added extra check to unlock directory function to check that
only the owned lock is removed.
newuser:
Check for Unix accounts is now case sensitive.
Check existing usernames now also checks handles.

modems.
mbout:
Implemented nodes special outbound boxes.
mbfido:
In newsmode when a mesage is received with an illegal formated
date headerline, the date is replaced with the current date
and time. Possible cause: SunMail 1.0
When reading taglists if there was no description after the
tag, mbfido would crash.
Filefind netmail replies now set the private flag.
Removed debugging messages displaying the incoming tic files.
The mbfido test command now needs a extra parameter, the final
destination to test. It doesn't use the internal fixed table
anymore.
mbindex:

mbcico:
Now uses the new session password field for session handshake.
The binkp version string now includes the OS and CPU type.
If a transmitted file via binkp is skipped by the remote it
will stay in the queue for the next session.
The binkp protocol now supports the CRC option proposed by
Tobias Ernst. This unofficial extension is also supported by
Irex and patched BinkP versions.

Upgrades the nodes records, the new session password is copied
from the old combined mail/session password.
In nodes submenu 14 the session and mail passwords can now be
edited seperatly. This will change again!
Archivers, file transfer protocols and virus scanners found
during first configure of this program are automatic installed
in the setup and enabled. Others are shown there with default

connections. Code cleanups.
In FileMgr when %tick=on/off command was received, mbfido
crashed.
Implemented auto area create comparing a new received echo
from a uplink which has a echomail taglist in one of the
mailgroups defined. The area is created with the defaults
from the mailgroup.
If mbfido fails to unzip a incoming mailarchive, a second
attempt is done after a sync() and one second delay. This
seems to be a kernel flush problem.
The same goes for adding .pkt files to the outbound, a second
try is done after a sync() to add the .pkt to the archive.
In the To field of a created TIC file there is now a comma
between the sysop name and fidonet aka.
When creating a filefind netmail reply there was no
destination address.
Corrected spelling errors in the Areamgr and Filemgr help

the first aka is not the aka in the areas.
In mgr result reports, lines with connected areas do now also
display the aka to which they are connected.
The file forward function now always puts a 8.3 filename in
the outgoing ticfile. For most files nothing is changed.
AreaMgr and FileMgr netmails are now split into more netmails
when the become too large.
When a downlink requests an echomail area which is not yet
available, and there is a areas file for some uplink, the area
is automatic created and a areamgr request is sent to the
uplink to connect that area. The area is created with the
defaults from the mailgroup.
Experimental patch in mkftnhdr to create a To address in news
articles where a Reply-To: header is present.
It was not possible to disconnect file areas.
Added nopper code to full mailscan.
Fixed a problem that caused a SIGSEGV when a node was in the
ticfiles setup to forward file to and there was no noderecord.
When a ticfile was received while our aka is in the path, the
bad tic counter wasn't increased.
Made error message in AddMsgHdr function more clear.
Removed experimental patch in news->ftn gate were wrong To:
address was created.
The mbfido news functions doesn't abort anymore when a
newsgroup didn't exist.
For points in echomail no seen-by entry is added.
The AreaMgr and FileMgr responses and notify messages now use
the diesel macro language.
The tic file forward function now uses only filenames in the
subject of the netmail messages without the path.
The tic file forward netmails now uses template forward.tic
When started a second time it doesn't destroy the lockfile
anymore.
When a converted email to news listserver message is processed
that has a header line starting with X-MS-, the headerline is
suppressed because there is no key for this header. This looks
like a new kind of M$ standard. mbnews crashed on this one.
Fixed a small problem in magic filename testing.
In rfc2ftn the Approved: header now becomes a kludge instead
of being plain passed.
Auto file area create implemented, it can use plain tagfiles
or filegate.zxx formatted files.
The mbfido web command now uses macro templates.
Areamgr uplink requests the sender name is now set to the
sysop's name, so he/she will get to read the responses.
New command: areas. This will read all defined area lists for
files and mail groups that have the Auto Change set to Yes.
Missing areas are created, areas not present anymore are
removed if they are empty. Good for bulk areas create.
When missing areas are created, uplink requests are sent to
connect the areas.
Added more checks to processing of file_id.diz files. Also
when it is illegal formatted the already processed lines are
cleared to prevent later malformatted descriptions.
The hatch and magic processors now scan the filenames to test
using the regexp library, this should be more reliable.
Increased the size of the buffer for filesort.
Improved error reporting when file copy fails.
When a virus scanner is started, de mbtask connection timeout
is set to one hour.
Changed the confusing No Touch setting in tic areas to Touch.
When a file to be attached doesn't exist, a error message is
logged and the attach is treaded as an error.
mbmsg:
When creating non-existend message bases, the path is created
first if it doesn't exist.
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
mbfile:
The mbfile index command now creates the html pages using the
macro templates html.main and html.areas. The files.css file
is no longer needed.
The check function now checks download directory permissions
and tries to correct errors.
Missing download directories are created mode 0775.
Moved check for empty areas to mbfile check function.
The mbfile move command now also moves the thumbnails.
Better console error reporting when files are copied.
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
The html file indexes now have better translation from ANSI
to low ascii and html codes.
The import function didn't import files starting with the
letter 't'.
When a virus scanner is started, de mbtask connection timeout
is set to one hour.
The virus scanner was sometimes not executed in the right
directory with the adopt and import functions.
mball:
Will not crash anymore when it needs more then 10 minutes to
create the allfiles and newfiles lists.
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
mbaff:
The High-ascii table to translate to lowercase has now the
right values to translate the ansi graphics.
Now uses the template newfiles and filefind to create the
reports.
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
mbdiff:
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
Improved error reporting when copy fails.
mbindex:
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
mbtask:
Removed some debug logging.
Creates the semafore is_inet when the internet connections is
available, and removes it when it is down.
Added test for ISDN/modem lines in use. If a line status
change lasted 5 seconds or longer, the oubound will be
rescanned.
Lots of code cleanup.
No setup setting anymore for maximum POTS and ISDN lines, this
is now automatic.
mbtask will now update internal counters how many ISDN and POTS
lines are free to use for dialout.
For ISDN and POTS calls, mbtask now decides which tty to use,
mbcico gets the tty to use as option on the commandline.
Keeps track of the number of mailers running.
Added default path for arealists.
Keeps track of total mailer TCP/IP sessions and will not start
new sessions if the limit from the setup is reached. This will
hopefully prevent that mbcico will use too much bandwidth on
TCP/IP trafic.
Splitted no TCP settings in no IBN, no IFC and no ITN.
Improved the ping tests, better errorlogging and suppresion of
icmp replies that are not for mbtask. Better protected against
flood pings. This should fixes the problem that the internet
seemed down while it was available.
mbcico:
Fixed binkp driver to accept incoming unprotected sessions.
If a binkp session comes in and there already is a session
with that node, mbcico stopts the binkp session with an error.

New command, mbout reset <node>, unconditionally resets the
nodes "try" counter, ie. make an undiable node try to call
again.
The status command displays the call attempts.
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
mbsebbs:
On some systems the download taglists contained garbage after
the short filename causing wrong filenames at the users side.
Added support for external message editor written by Redy.
Doors are now passed the parameter to display a prompt after
the door or return silently.
Fixed lharc file return code to LHA.

New users have the default internal fullscreen editor.
Removed nonsense error message when stopped on a signal.
mbuser:
If a new user has registered and not yet used the bbs, mbuser

$Id: ChangeLog_2003,v 1.1 2004/02/09 14:36:36 mbroek Exp $
v0.38.0 26-Dec-2002 - 03-Oct-2003
upgrade:
Note: if upgrading from a 0.37.8 or 0.37.9 development version,
then no upgrade procedure is needed. All others read the next
carefully!
A bit tricky to upgrade and start using the new debug logfile,
follow the next steps exactly!!
1. Download and install the source
2. Run "./configure"
3. Run "make" (and do not install yet)
4. Run "mbstat close"
5. Backup /opt/mbse/bin and /opt/mbse/etc.
6. Run "mbstat close"
7. Kill mbtask, mostly "kill `/sbin/pidoff mbtask`" will do.
8. Run (as root) "make install" to install the new software.
9. Make sure you are user mbse again.
10. Start mbtask manual, "mbtask"
11. Run "mbsetup", enter menu 1, exit, save and close.
12. Wait one minute.
13. Run "mbstat open"
After this is done the first time, restarting mbtask can be
done as usual by running the mbsed init script. If something
doesn't work (you get socket errors), it is important that you
kill mbtask during software versions swap. All software must
be of the same build.
Check settings menu 1.5.21 for maximum allowed logins.
Check setting of menu 1.14.15.
Remove ~/etc/archiver.data, start mbsetup menu 3, leave and
save. This updates the archiver view contents commands.
After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/maptabs and it's contents.
After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/bank.data.
After upgrade you may remove ~/etc/safe.data.
If you want, download and install the nu-door and safe-door
packages.
In mbsetup 1.17.3 check if you have the XX,CM,IBN,IFC flags,
which indicates your TCP/IP capabilities. This is only for
systems that use TCP/IP, dialup systems should only have
the XX,CM flags. Important: only protocols that you place
in this entry are supported, so XX,CM,IBN will let your system
only call binkp nodes.
general:
The nodelist lookup functions are now in a separate library.
This will give us easy implemtation of new nodelist formats
and flags.
Introduced a new file, ~/etc/nodelist.conf, this file will
be used for nodelist lookup behaviour.
The current looked-up nodelist strcuture has an extra field,
the URL how that node must be contacted.
Debug logging is now in a separate file, the normal logging is
now only in the normal logfiles.
Changed all Linux references into GNU/Linux.
Changed the address of the FSF in all sources.
Removed memwatch debugger.
Changed all gif and jpg images to png images.
Added a setup switch for the nodes for selecting the wrong
binkp long filenames escape method for Argus and Irex nodes.
Activated the productcode for mbse that is published in the
ftscprod.007, MBSE now has an official product code.
Changed the website address in several sources.
Added switches for binkp CRC mode in global and node records.
Added check for inconv.h in configure script for UNIX98
character set conversion. (Not yet used).
Removed external (sysop) chat, chat paging times and other
chat stuff that is of no use anymore. The sysop shows his
presence by running mbmon. The mbchat program is obsolete.
Menu item 22 is added, this is user chat session.
For chat (and sysop/user paging chat) works now using the
mbtask daemon.
In several messages handling functions the international
charset translations are removed because of several bugs. They
will be replaced by standard library functions. Right now the
messages are 8 bit clean and there is no translation on the
gateway. The maptabs are removed.
Menu items 22 and 23 are removed, menu 319 is added. You may
want to replace the default txtfiles and menus, upgraded
versions are in the distribution but are not automatic
installed.
Documented menu 318, was present for a long time, just not in
the html docs.
The main Makefile now sets each txtfiles directory to mode 775
to allow doors to write ansi/ascii screens.
Removed the safe cracker door, this is now external.
A new developer/translator joined the team, David Gonzalez.
The settings to suppres some IP protocols (global and nodes)
are removed, this behaviour must be set using nodelist flags
configuration.
Debug logging for mail and news now have one setting, the M.
Nodelist debug logging now uses the N character.
In some makefiles the chown user.group syntax changed to
user:group to follow the new POSIX syntax. Please let me know
if you are using an older distribution that complains about
this. This was needed for FreeBSD 4.7.
Added Dutch template macro files. Updated English and German
template macro files. Please remove old ones before installing.
common.a:
Added a set of general purpose timers.
Node locking tests for non-stale lockfiles older then 6 hours.
Added general code for prgram locking.
The getheader function changed to support stone-age .pkt's.
If the packet year has a Y2K bug, the year is fixed. This is
only cosmetic for logging.
If the zone info is missing, the zone is guessed from 2d aka
matching against the system aka's. Then all mail in the .pkt
file is also assumed to be in that zone if there is no zone
info in the messages also.
Guess what, these packets do still exist in Fidonet, it took
5 years to find them! If you want to check, call 5:5/0
Fixed compiler warning in network code.
printable function now escapes all non-printable characters.
In rfcmsg function the Cc: header is now treated as any other
header to prevent a SIGSEGV when the headerline is empty.
Removed charset conversion/translation.
Added integer endian byteorder swapper, usefull for non-Intel
hardware.
The poutCR function for the bbs never did send a newline.
New function to get the real case of a filename.
nodelist.a:
Added experimental support for IP nodes lookup using a default
domain method. This is not the final implementation yet!
Update, this works now as described in a FSP-xxxx that is in
discussion in the FTSC. This will also work for current
practice.
msgbase.a:
Moved messages link from mbmsg program into library.
Resolved a buffer overflow problem with kludges larger then
512 bytes.
mbcico:
Compiled IEMSI code back in, starts mblogin which is not IEMSI
ready yet. A user with an IEMSI terminal can from there do a
manual login.
If doesn't do Multiple Batch mode anymore against binkp/1.1
mailers.
File resync during receive finally works.
In binkp we don't send a empty dataframe after a file anymore.
Completly changed the files inbound receive, all files are now
first stored in a unique per node temporary inbound directory.
Only after a successfull session all received files are moved
to the final inbound directory.
Another goodie is that this is more safe on busy multiline
systems.
A light improvement in session handshake setup timers.
Added EMSI handshake timers, this gives a more relaxed EMSI
handshake.
Set the EMSI receive failure count to 20 instead of 6, we can
now even accept buggy maindoor sessions and still display a
banner.
For FTS-0001 sessions the mail password was used instead of the
session password. Also improved the password check.
The product code was not entered in the FTS-0001 packet headers.
Revised some state tables in the binkp session setup stage.
Fixed a possible buffer overflow in the binkp driver.
Implemented CRAM rev.4 change in binkp driver.
Binkp now sends M_BSY to the remote when the bbs is closed.
Better logging of BSY and ERR messages.
The binkp transmitter does now escape the unsafe filename
characters. Method is selectable in the setup.
The binkp receiver now does process escaped filenames.
The binkp protocol now supports MD5 crypted passwords.
Removed some heavy debug code from ttyio functions to increase
throughput.
Standarized raw ifcico protocol logging.
Some minor changes to the raw ifcico protocol, better error
checking and a check for buffer overflow.
YooHoo transmitter fixed for transmitting 16 bits product
codes.
With binkp and EMSI sessions double received remote aka's are
filtered.
When calling ITN nodes, the default port is now 23.
Call setup changed and uses now the nodelist lookup URL.
Changed raw ifcico debug logging.
mbout:
When a poll was removed, the outbound was not rescanned.
mbfile:
Added program locking to prevent that more than one mbfile can
run at the same time.
When a file was deleted for age or download age, the 8.3
filename was not removed from disk.
A better check againts empty upload dates when purging files.
Also added a log when this happens. Please report if you see
any of these.
In the import function several bugfixes for reading files.bbs.
Fixed upper/lowercase filenames bug with import.
Move old files to another area failed, only the symbolic link
was moved.
Prepared for multilanguage html pages creation.
mbfido:
The rfc to ftn gate now drops the headerlines starting with
X-Spam- because they are only filled with advertisents and are
very large (upto 1200 bytes which is somewhat larger for a
fidonet kludge).
Stone age packet support, see common.a.
Due to a configuration error in some system using some tic
processor mbfido did crash.
Now it will log this and continue processing ticfiles with the
risk of sending files back to the owner of that faulty program.
Added the same check for Seenby lines.
In a scanned netmail destined to our own local UUCP gate the
useless X-FTN-INTL and X-FTN-TOPT kludges are no longer
inserted in the message.
Finding the inbound tic file now uses the new filecase function.
Removed all code for charset translation.
In areamgr/filemgr lists the messages are forced splitted when
the force limit is reached in the middle of a group listing.
The nodes statistics are expanded with flow counters.
If echomail is accepted in a unsecure area or the unsecure
commandline option is set, a violation is logged as warning.
Removed some debugging tests and log messages.
If a tic file was received in uppercase, during import in the
bbs the LFN is converted to lowercase.
Promoted some normal debug logmessages to heavy debug messages
in the outbound queue packer.
Echomail from other zones showed the address of your own zone.
Added logging when other errors are found.
At zonegates, the seenby lines were twice stripped.
Another patch to compensate for sysops that pack pascalnet
files in fidonet packets and send these messages into the world
without zone information.
Made the incoming tic files complete case insensitive, mixed
case is now processed. If such file is received, the LFN will
be set to that name.
The magic unpack command now uses the mail unpack command
instead of file unpack command so that paths in the archive are
junked.
mbsebbs:
When a message is saved, the messages in that area are linked.
Added check for maximum simultaneous logins.
Removed debug logging for userrecord i/o

semafore is not set anymore.
Offline reader, the reply packets are now handled complete
case insensitive.
Dropped BlueWave v2 format completly, obsolete format.
The BlueWave and QWK download packets can have kludges, this
depends on a setting in the userbase.
In downloaded netmail, if message comes from a point, the FMPT
kludge is allways included in the message.
Added some forgotten checks for a valid QWK board name.
Lots of code cleanups in the offline code.
Added menu 320, toggle Offline Reader Extended Info.
Added new control code: control-U + 8, this displays YES or NO
for the new Extended Info setting.
The display file function now displays the ^U8 code.
Added support for door32.sys dropfile.
Fixed user idle logoff when new mailcheck took too long.
Added email reply when reading new (e)mail.
To page the sysop, the CPAG and CCAN commands to mbtask are now
used.
Removed all old chat code that worked on the tty device.
Added chat client site. If the sysop responds to the page
request, the user is dropped into chatmode in the sysop
channel as soon as the user does nothing (ie in a menu or still
in page mode).
It will now refuse to up/download OLR packets when the system
bbs id is not set in the global setup.
When a reply is made on a message in a area which allows
aliases, the user is asked to use his alias.
When a reply is made on a message in a newsgroup and your
systems has a permanent mail domain the email address is used
as from name.
Removed timebank and nextuser doors.
Added editing of user's signature file. New menu item 319.
If the sysop is exporting a echomail message he will have the
option to save to his private directory or to the rules
directory. If saved to the rules directory the message will
have the filename of the area tag. Normal users can only export
to their private directory. Sysops: now you can start
collecting area rules!
New menu 221, display arearules. This function tries to find
the arearules in the rules directory and if found displays
this to the user.
Fixed whoson list to display user real names and handles again.
Fixed send online message to send to user real names, handles
and unix names again.
The menus are machine endian independant.
Maybe removed a bug where the bbs sometimes crashed during
mail reading.
Fixed some minor things to the door.sys file.
Normal users were allowed to delete messages of other users,
now only the writer or those with sysop access to the area are
allowed to delete messages.
Finally wrote Delete Message from the menu (menu 206).
Removed the safe cracker door.
Changed to use the new nodelist lookup methods.
mbsetup:
Made menus editor work on non-intel platforms.

Added program locking, only one mbsetup can run at the same
time.
In menu 1.14 added global switch to disable binkp CRC32 file
transfers.
In menu 7.x.3 added a switch to enable binkp CRC32 file
transfers with this node.
In menu 1.14 added a switch to turn MD5 crypted passwords off.

$Id: ChangeLog_2004,v 1.1 2005/10/06 20:49:37 mbse Exp $
v0.70.0 06-Jun-2004 - 26-Oct-2004.
upgrade:
If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0
If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0
(That was twice).
Don't forget to backup /opt/mbse and all fle areas!
Check if /opt/mbse/var/msgs is empty before using this version.
Make sure that /opt/mbse/queue is empty, then close the
bbs with "mbstat close wait".
Kill mbtask, "kill `/sbin/pidof mbtask` might work.
Now you may do the upgrade with "make install" as root. This
order is important because the files database moves to a new
location (~/var/fdb). Some other directories move too.
Now you may start the bbs again.
Start "mbsetup", enter 1, global setup, leave and save".
Run "mbfile check" and then "mbfile index". This fixes the
thumbnails if supported by your system.
Update all maintenance scripts to change the semafore directory
to ~/var/sema.
If you compiled with ./configure --enable-newsgate you may
need to erase the newsgroup names in the echomail areas you
don't want to gate to news.
In mbsetup menu 1.14 update the TCP/IP connection details.
In the english txtfiles and menus the doors menu and screens
are updated for the newer doors setup, you might want to
upgrade or use them as examples.
In the examples directory type "make macros" to update the
macro templates. Be carefull if you have personalized versions.
To reinstall the corrected macro templates go into the examples
directory and type "make macros".
In mbsetup menu 1.7 check the new items 15, 16 and 17.
If you want to switch running doors as user instead of via sudo
then read doors.html and follow the instructions.
If you have BBBS uplinks and use automatic uplink requests then
change the setup of these nodes in screen 7.10.
general:
Added compile directive for full newsgate. If this switch is
used then mbfido behaves like it did upto version 0.50.0 and
mbnntp is disabled.
Added define for nodelist line length for all programs.
Added -fno-strict-aliasing switch to gcc to prevent some
warnings.
With the newer versions of dosemu running doors as user finally
works. To migrate you need to read doors.html.
Changed security of most directories and files to allow only
bbs users.
In SETUP.sh better xinetd.d system detection.
On Linux SETUP.sh adds user mbse to group wheel and uucp.
SETUP.sh adds disabled telnet service to inetd.conf or xinetd.
libmbse.a:
In nodelist.conf changed the order of fields to search for ip
information, field 8 before field 6.
Added a new keyword 'ipprefix' in nodelist.conf to define a
table with IP prefixes to use in field 6.
When files are attached that should "leave" after sent (not
truncated or removed) they are now prepended with the @
character instead of no character. This is compatible with
ifcico but not with other mailers, but should do no harm
because most mailers only look for the ^ and # characters.
Fixed function to return full 5d address in the outbound when
the address is in a different zone then our own zone.
The socket_connect function now sets the global nodenumber from
the reply of mbtask.
libnodelist.a:
Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
Fixed IP port override if there is a port added to a protocol.
Removed some debug logging.
libmsgbase.a:
If a message area becomes empty after a pack, all lastread
pointers are reset to zero.
Removed debug logmessage from jamPack.
libdbase.a:
Removed some debug logging from files database module.
The files database is moved from ~/fdb to ~/var/fdb.
Added debug logging to dbfdb to find the problem with not
cleaned magic aliases.
Fixed a problem with the files database were the temp file used
for sorting and inserting files didn't close the temp file.
Changed method of inserting new files so that old magic names
are really cleared.
mbcico:
Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
In the binkp driver, when files were found to transmit and
didn't exist anymore, they are not added to the list of files
to sent but are marked as already transmitted so they will
be removed from the .flo file. Also, after a successfull
session .flo files with all files marked as transmitted are
removed. With nodes that were marked crash, this will prevent
continuous calling.
Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
Changed binkp IsDoing info.
Removed a little debug logging.
mbout:
Implemented the ICM flag (FSP-1033).
Code cleanup for nodelist processing.
Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
mbfido:
Added compile directive for full newsgate.
Removed logmessage in addpkt function.
Added code to un_attach files during tic import that are
deleted from the system by replace, or keep # magic actions,
but also for files with the same name that are replaced.
Removed debug logging from toberep function since all problems
are solved.
In rfc2ftn added check for ".\n" to change to " .\n" instead of
only check for ".\r\n".
Added support for *.msg files. If any are found, they are
processed and put in a netmail area. From there the mbfido scan
function is automatic called so that the message is sent out or
stays in the area if it has a local destination. File attaches
are supported. Note that this is not a gate, only put *.msg
files in that directory that originate from one of your own
aka's.
Fixed logging of 0 articles in scannews.
With the command "mbfido areas" without the -q option the user
must confirm this action.
For netmails to uplinks for areamgr/filemgr changes, the wrong
password was used.
In large areamgr/filemgr responses each 2048 bytes was an extra
<cr> inserted.
No help was displayed when no valid command was given.
Echomail for non-existing areas now finally is stored in the
badmail area.
Echomail received from not connected nodes is stored in the
badmail area unless the area allowes it.
Can now send (hopefully) valid uplink requests to BBBS systems.
Removed some debug logging from un_attach, made one into a
normal logmessage.
The postemail and scanemail functions are changed so that
Outlook email addresses are parsed so that we can reply via
smtp.
During scan the Msg_Read function is now called with a width
of 79 characters instead of 78. This fixes the missing address
on Origin lines of 79 characters long.
The *.msg function now uses Fgets instead of fgets to read the
message.
mbmsg:
With te post command, the right number of commandline options
is checked, if this is wrong the help message is displayed.
If a message is posted in a local area, no echomail.jam is
updated and the mailout semafore is not set.
Added checks in the mbmsg post command if the To parameter has
the correct syntax for netmail and all other areas.
Will now return a non-zero error if the post() function
failed.
Fixed counter in logfile that should show the number of linked
messages.
With the post command a check is done to see if the input file
has a tearline and origin line, if not mbmsg will add these
lines, else the lines of the input file are used.
mbfile:
The filenames in the html pages are now the long filenames.
This fixes download problems with some mangled 8.3 filenames.
Fixed a bug where "mbfile k p i" didn't give the help screen.
The html index now uses html named character entities on the
area names on the main index page.
With html index creation if the convert program for the
thumbnails failed, the html pages were wrong.
The thumbnails were created from the 8.3 name but the url was
created to the LFN. Depending on the settings of your apache
server you would see the thumbnails or not.
The check for wrong thumbnails changed from LFN to 8.3 names.
Updated to use the new files database location.
mbindex:
Code cleanup for nodelist processing.
Added a extra check to see if nodelist datalines are valid to
prevent segfaults on Skynet nodelists.
Does finally compile a username index.
Fixed compiling pointlists where on the Boss line when there
is no last comma on the line.
mbdiff:
Added EOF character as last character in the new created list.
mbaff:
In newfiles and filefind reports with the tty info lines, also
display TCP/IP connection details.
mbstat:
In the wait function the semafore directory was scanned direct
instead of using the library functions.
mbsebbs:
Added user@domain login for pop3 mailboxes.
If pop3 login fails, the bbs won't hang.
If a users homedirectory doesn't exist, a correct error message
is displayed and logged.
If a user replied to a email and the system was in Own
maildomain mode, the From address was changed to the Fidonet
style address instead of Unix address.
When a netmail reply is done to a node without a valid address
we ask the user if he wants to continue.
Changed menu logging.
The exec_nosuid function for doors now also has a extra small
delay just like all other execute functions to prevent problems
on fast machines.
Added extra fflush in quickscan mail.
When calling the external editor, the fromaddress if available
is given to joe.
In Quick_Bye reset all signal handlers to prevent that die() is
called in case something goes wrong during Quick_Bye.
The fake nodenumber is now obtained from mbtask instead of a
count of tty line records so the used nodenumbers will be a lot
lower then before.
Changed Msg_Read from 78 to 79 characters.
In menu the semafore directory was scanned direct instead of
using the library functions.
mbnewuser:
Made questions for screenlen, newmail check and newfiles check
dependant of settings in the setup.
During program exit, it tried to remove the wrong socket to
mbtask.
mbnntp:
If compiled in full newsmode, this program acts like a dummy.

node number.
The magic filenames directory is moved from ~/magic to
~/var/magic.
The semafore directory is moved from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.
When shutting down on UPS semafore "upsdown", the log was
garbled.
When shutting down on an external event and there were users
online, mbtask did not wait.
mbsetup:
In mail and files group edit screens, to make an area active
existing connections check is skipped.
If a node record is deleted, the outbox and directory paths
are removed as well if they are empty.
Added user@domain login for pop3 servers in screen 1.12.
Added compile directive for full newsgate to prevent newsgroup
name creation in default compiled mode.
When editing files, after leaving a file record the file range
displayed stays around the last area.
If a message area is deleted and a rulefile is present, this
rulefile is deleted too.
When a new golded.inc file is written, only fidonet records
that are active are written.
When a file area is deleted, the file path wasn't removed.
In menu 2, added 3 checks to see if enough info is entered to
make a valid network setup.
Changed in menu 1.14 some labels and help messages for TCP/IP
global settings.
In menu 1.7 added 3 new items to ask new users for screenlen,
newmail check and newfiles check.

Changed all locations for dosemu so that we run in the mbse
environment with privileges of the user running the door.
In the editor script (that calls joe) made a fix for screens
wider then 80 characters. Also fixed the joe path if it should
run in emacs mode. Added FromAddress in the header.

v0.60.0 09-Feb-2004 - 04-Jun-2004
upgrade:
Before upgrade announce all new files!
Compile all programs.
Close the system with mbstat close.
Install programs as root (as usual).
Start mbsetup, this can take a while on a system with lots of
files, during startup the files database will be converted.
After the menu appears, enter global setup, exit and save.
This will also update the message area records and the message
group permission.
Now stop and restart mbtask.
Open the system with mbstat open.
In all message groups set check/set default character set.
In all message areas set the character set to use with the
global editor (to CP437 for example). Local and netmail
areas must be done by hand because they are most likely not
in a group.
The macro templates are updated, you MUST install the newfiles
macro template at least because the format changed!
Type "make help" in the examples subdirectory to see how.

To better support Darwin (OS X) a hardware sponsor is needed.
libmbse.a:
Changed the execute function so it will work on 2.6.x kernels

package. (A better solution may follow in a next release).
In delete file in home directory the Y/N keys were read from
the wrong language prompt.
Replaced system() call with execute.
Updated to the new files database structure.
Fixed SIGCHLD logmessages on Fedora.

the newsgroup name will be set.
Fixed news command, only real newsgroup areas are fetched from
the remote newsserver.
Now uses new FDB functions.

there was nothing in it yet.
Removed setup for the unused free diskspace parameter.

script:
In the maint script removed the check option from the mbfile
command so it will not run every day.
Updated maintenace scripts to check that they are run by user
mbse. The new scripts are not automatic installed, in the ~/etc
directory you will find these scripts with the extension .new
You may need to manually update the scripts before you install
the new scripts manually.
v0.50.0 03-Oct-2003 - 09-Feb-2004
general:
Added menu setup switches for doors: Singe user door and
hidden from lists.
Make dist now creates bzip2 archives.
Two html pages are now under control of configure.
The configure scripts shows the use of zlib compression for
Hydra and Binkp.
Updated all documentation to validate html makeup.
Added installation support for Gentoo Linux, contributed by
Capitán X.
Since this version Posix threads are being used, please let
me know if this doesn't compile on you system.
All Makefiles do not strip the binaries anymore, the binaries
are stripped during make install only. This allows to run the
not yet installed binaries under debuggers.
The configure script has a --enable-debugging option so that
all code can be compiled to let it run under debuggers. Not
usefull for production systems.
This version had a lot of testing using valgrind. Most errors
were minor problems.
Added French language file created by Francois Thunus. This
translation is not yet complete.
Cleanup in main makefile, added help.
Revised configure and all Makefiles for better support of
linking with threads libraries.
Changed endian tests using the configure script.
Upgraded to new released ftscprod.008
Added setup option per node to disable the binkp/1.1 protocol.
Added new binkp/1.1 driver.
In all sources replaced the usleep function with the msleep
function. The usleep function will become obsolete someday.
Incoming and outgoing telnet (ITN) sessions finally works.
upgrade:
If you don't have any personal archivers, then remove
~/etc/archiver.data and start mbsetup to recreate the
archivers setup.
If you didn't change anything of the language defaults then
delete /opt/mbse/etc/language.data and run mbsetup to create
a new language.data including the french setup.
Check setting 7.x.3.18 for each node. If you know the node uses
Irex between 2.24 and 2.29 then set this to Yes or you won't
have good sessions without files with this mailer. Sessions
with Irex that do transfer some file are Ok.
libclcomm:
Fixed a small (not harmfull) buffer overlapped copy detected
by valgrind.
libcommon:
A small fix in printable log function.
Added a safety check for the TCP registrate function to prevent
stale TCP/IP mailer counts.
Fixed a forgotten fclose in proglock.
Allows node locking with zero bytes lockfiles created by some
other OS when enabled in the setup.
The attach function now checks if a file is already attached.
In execute and execsh on Linux systems sync() is called before
and after running the external program to make sure diskbuffers
are committed. Also added a 300 ms pause.
Added a milliseconds timer.
Code cleanup.
libmsgbase:
In JAM_Open replaced a strcpy with memmove.
Fixed invalid memory read/write in Msg_Link.
libdbase:
Code cleanup in dbdupe.
libnodelist:
Fixed a small memory leak.

The whoson list displays the doorname if set in the menus.
If a door is single user and the door is in use, the second
user can't start the door but gets a message about this
situation.
Fixed a bug where the bbs goes into a loop after idle timeout
during login (and maybe in other situations).
Fixed chat debug logging to only log to the debug.log file.
Posted netmail messages now support CC: lines. The CC: lines
should be the first lines of the message in the format:
CC: Michiel Broek 2:280/28
The Carbon Copied messages are marked with original sender.
Fixed small memory leak.
Fixed posting to local/echomail areas from bbs users.
A lot of small fixes for problems found with valgrind.
mbsetup:
Added menu settings for single user door and hide door. Added
setting for the door name in the menus and removed the never
used password for the menu (Was only present in the setup).
In node editor, fixed error message when there was no more
room for new nodes to point to the right menus.
Added support for tar compressed archives.
Changed all fidonet domain names to maximum 8 characters so
that we now follow the FTSC specs.
Removed binkp CRC settings.
Fixed a unitialized unlink call in nodes close.
Fixed unclosed tempfile.
Fixed several small memory leaks.
Added default record for french language.
Added setting in menu 1.14 to allow zero bytes lockfiles
created by another OS.

In global main aka setup, added check if a domain name is
present.
Updates to the database is now shown to the user.
mbcico:
Added Hydra zlib compressed data blocks using the idea of Alex
Shakhaylo. The compression will transfer some files about twice
as fast as without compression.
Changed signal handlers to better detect broken TCP links.
Changed two inbound logmessages to debug level.
All internal references to tfido port changed to telnet port
because we now default to telnet port 23 for ITN calls.
Dropped binkp CRC support because it will be incompatible with
future extensions.
Fixed a small memory leak.
New binkp/1.1 driver. Check the upgrade for your Irex links.
In case of troubles please report these.
Added support for T-Mail fileboxes, partly written and info
provided by Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski (2:480/127).
Removed the check to disable calling points.
Added a check to see if we get a URL to call other systems.
If nodelist info fails, increase error counter in steps of 10.
Fixed nodelocks during session handshake after many years. The
problem showed only when mbcico was used together with a mailer
on a different OS. When a aka is busy, the aka is now dropped.
When all akas are busy, a session is impossible and the session
is refused. Thanks to Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski for finding and
documenting this bug.
The total session avg cps is now corrected with the two seconds
session close delay time.
Added PLZ compression option to binkp.
Added telnet input and output filters so we can now call and
answer telnet (ITN) sessions.
mbfile:
When the areanumber with the adopt command was not given, the
help is displayed instead of trying area 0 that doesn't exist.
With the file move, adopt and import command if the file
already exists in the destination area, the action is refused.

All init scripts now clean the ~/var/run directory and start
the bbs allways so that the bbs will try to start after a power

v0.82.0 06-Oct-2005 - 06-Nov-2005
This is a bugfix release for version 0.80.0.
general:
Made changes to structures and sources to make everything
compatible between 32 and 64 bit systems. Special thanks to
Alan Ianson and Robert Wolfe for testing the 64 bit versions.
Added escaping in client/server comms. It is now allowed to
use comma's in user names, locations etc.
upgrade:
The bbs menu Change Screenlength is obsolete. Remove this from
the menus (setup.mnu) and ascii/ansi screens (setup.a??).
Owners of 64 bits systems should check if all *.sts files in
the outbound are 12 bytes log. If not, stop the whole bbs and
remove all these files. Then start the bbs again.
Owners of 64 bit systems that have run version 0.80.0 or older
should really backup everything and be prepared that all data
files are not compatible anymore. Blame the GNU people for
changing the storage format for some variables.
After upgrade databases are compatible between 32 and 64 bit
systems.
libmbse.a:
Added clencode and cldecode to safe escape messages to mbtask.
In nodelock show program name if node is already locked.
mbcico:
Made binkp GZ and BZ2 compression final.
Fixed compile errors when both zlib and bzlib development
packages are not installed on some distro's.
mbfido:
Fixed a segfault when tossing as a point echomail without a
seen-by line.
mbsebbs:
Automatic dynamic detection of the users screensize.
There is no check anymore for a valid tty with network calls,
instead a fake ttyinfo record is created. Modem/ISDN and
console still need a valid configured tty.
Fixed a bug in the email menu that would let the current
mailbox disappear.
Fixed the internal fullscreen editor.
Accepts connections via ssh.
Log close message sent to the user.
Allow comma again in several input functions.
mbnewusr:
There is no check anymore for a valid tty with network calls,
instead a fake ttyinfo record is created. Modem/ISDN and
console still need a valid configured tty.
Accepts connections via ssh.
mbtask:
Logs program name that locks serial ports.
Added clencode and cldecode to safe escape messages with
clients.
mbsetup:
Removed settings for users screenlength.
In tty setup the network records are automatic removed. The
setting for auth log is removed (was never used).
SuSE compile fix.
lang: Removed prompts 64, 80 and 81.
Changed prompt 348.
Added prompt 31.
examples:
removed Change Screenlength from the English menus and
txtfiles.
v0.80.0 27-Oct-2004 - 06-Oct-2005
Yes, this release took too long to complete. But there were too
many problems that a stable release wasn't a good idea.
general:
Due to lack of maintainers italian language support is dropped.
Upgraded to ftscprod.010
Added port to OpenBSD, is under test (and doesn't work yet).
Code cleanup so that compile stops on unknown OSes and CPUs
instead of missing code parts.
Added Unix codepage KOI8-R (Russian) and patches from Dmitry
Komissaroff.
Updated Copyright notices to 2004 to 2005.
From filetranfer records removed the batch and bidirectional
switches, these are no longer needed.
Added new subdirectory mbutils. Some sources from the mbsebbs
subdirectory are moved there.
Changed the CFLAGS back from -O3 to -O2 since there seem some
stablity problems and I want to rule out the possibility that
this is caused by bad gcc optimisation.
upgrade:
In mbsetup menu 8.2 remove the Italian language.
In /opt/mbse "rm -rf italian".
In /opt/mbse/etc "rm italian.lang".
Or keep it, but you need to take care of updating this language
yourself.
Check mbsetup 7.n.3.14 and 7.n.3.15 settings.
You may limit the mailhistory.html size by setting 1.15.8
Check mbsetup 1.13.4 and 1.13.5, they should be empty or point
to valid and readable logfiles. If set then ftp and or www
downloads are counted as valid downloads.
Enter setup menu 8.4 once and leave to clear unused data.
Start mbsetup, in screen 1.2 item 10, add your real internet
name or IP there. This MUST be the name that is returned when
you do a nslookup on your external IP address.
Add the following line to /etc/services:
fido 60179/udp # chatserver
Make sure you remove everything related to bbslist menus from
your menus and txtfiles.
Start mbsetup and leave.
You might want to check menu 8.5, file transfer protocols since
we now have internal protocols.
nodelist.a:
Clear node Hold or Down status if set in nodes setup.
mbselib.a:
Removed some debug logging.
Added a function to clean subject lines from garbage, trailing
spaces etc. to improve message linking.
Added code for Internet BBS Chat.
msgbase.a:
Fixed JAM pack function, the lastread pointers could be wrong
if the last messages of an area were deleted.
libdiesel.a:
Changed the maximum string length from 2560 to 4096 characters.
libmbinet.a:
Fixed error messages when the host to connect to has a DNS
error.
charset:
Changed rfc-2045 name x-mac to mac. Changed x-ibmpc to cp437.
This allows rfc mime headers to show official names.
Added some basic things to support Chinese.
mbcico:
Added support for binkp GZ and BZ2 compression. Can be turned
off per node. To use it configure with --enable-experiment.
Record previous session state so we can better react on failed
sessions.
Added detection of remote options NR, ND and NDA to prepare
for implementation.
Rewrote inbound handling for binkp sessions so that recovery
from failed sessions works, even with compressed transfers.
Fixed crash on received m_get command.
Increased binkp timeout from 180 to 300 seconds.
Added protection during binkp receive for zero bytes compressed
data frames, this will cause uncompress error -5 because zero
bytes can't be compressed at all.
Fixed test for valid aka's in the EMSI handshake that prevented
that host aka's (node /0) were not presented to the remote.
(thanks Przemyslaw Kwiatkowski).
Removed binkp extra debug logging and some standard debug logging.
Added auto workaround for Internet Rex 2.24 upto 2.29 binkp bug.
However, it is still wise to set the "No binkp/1.1" setting in
the node setup if you have a record for such node.
mbout:
Code cleanup.
mbfido:
If some newsarticles are not accepted for post, don't treat
this as fatal and clear the sendqueue.
Removed soft-cr filter during message import.
Code cleanup.
Added debug logging in rfc2ftn to track a rare problem.
Added error logmessage in case *.msg path isn't defined.
Fixed a segfault when echomail.jam or netmail.jam is corrupted
when scanning for outgoing mail.
Fixed fido style from address for posting news.
Reinstalled charset translation on the gateway. Changed the
way how FTN kludges are translated to RFC headers.
Dropped support for newsgroup distribution.
In tic processing changed pointer type for seenby lists.
Fixed running out of file descriptors when there are lots of
bad mailpackets.
Fixed commandline parser for mail recipients.
Added subject line clean in several places.
When message areas are autocreated, golded.inc and msg.txt are
recreated for the external editors.
The web stats can now limit the size of mailhistory.html
The FileMgr command connects news nodes SR if set for the tic
area.
Empty *.msg netmails for our own system are dropped with and
logged (just like received empty netmails). Empty netmails to
remote systems are still stored in the netmail base.
Added debug logging for exporting netmails from the messagebase
so that we later can decide to mark these messages auto deleted.
In rfc2ftn a debug logmessage added to check for unrecognised
message ids.
With html create the general strings are now converted to html
entinities.
mbnntp:
Removed some debug logging.
Added leading zeros for generated msgid's.
Improved charset detection.
Does now send the right mime headers recognised by news clients.
Fixed compile problem with some compilers.
When sending the mime header with the charset used to the news
client, the original message charset is tried first, else the
area charset, else the users charset and if all failed, we send
the us-ascci charset as default.
More patches added from Dmitry Komissaroff to improve charset
support. Also improved msgid linking.
Removed dead timercode.
Code cleanup.
When a message is posted without RFC Messageid, a fidonet MSGID
is fresh created.
Changed X-JAM kludges to X-FTN kludges to make it compatible
with the rest of the gates.
Patches from Dmitry Komissaroff to make charset translation
work on message subject lines. It will now also send the right
charset for the user in the charset header line so that the
client will show the message in the users charset.
mbfile:
Code cleanup.
With the index command only changed areas are indexed. This
removes the feature request for a switch per area from the
TODO list because this solution works better and much faster.
Dropped support for areas on CDrom.
The adopt command now first checks if the filename is 8.3 or a
long filename and the correct format for import is then set.
With mbfile import, download counters in files.bbs are skipped.
When the file description was missing in files.bbs with the
import command, mbfile would crash. Now a dummy description is
inserted.
The directory from which the import is done is first tested for
write access, if forbidden then no import is done. This also
means you cannot import directly from CD's but that you need
to copy the CD contents first to a harddisk.
Better error reporting if something is wrong.
The import command now also figures out the difference between
8.3 and long filenames and does the right thing during import.
During file import the destination is tested for both 8.3 and
LFN for an existing file. Improved error reporting.
With mbfile import the original file isn't renamed anymore.
Fixed error reporting when files in files.bbs were not found
on disk.
In mbfile check added a check for the filemode of the real file
in the download area, if it's not 0644 it will be corrected.
With adopt, import and move allow to overwrite a file with the
same name if the -f option is used on the commandline.
mbsebbs:
Code cleanup.
Changed syntax for calling mbpasswd.
Blocked sysop to chat and page the sysop. Sysops use mbmon.
Fixed errormessage if chatserver is not available.
Added language prompts 29 and 30.
Added logging of remote host and terminal.
Added subject line clean in several places.
Fixed headerlines for posting news.
Fixed headerlines for posting email.
When a message is posted by a user, the CHRS kludge of the user
is used in the message, not the area setting.
When a user logs in, the users locale (guessed value from his
characterset) is set. Experimental to see if libc functions will
support Chinese characters.
Allowed hi-ascii input characters in the internal fs editor,
the chat input and one general input function. This may have
effects for all users not using us-ascii keyboards.
Added more support for Chinese using the traduce function.
Changed color for chat lines with one * at the begin.
The creation of the mailout semafore is now after the hangup
so that mbfido won't start before the bbs is finished.
Removed bbslist menus, this will become a door.
Added #define NFGVMIN 1 in openport.
During hangup we set sighup to ignore.
Some small buffer protections added in addfile.
Fixed keyboad input for all bigendian machines.
Patches from Dmitry Komissaroff to make charset translation
work on message subject lines.
In change handle the first character of the name is not
capitalized.
Changed layout of raw directory listing to support longer
filenames.
Rewrote terminal i/o.
If a user pages the sysop a hint is displayed to fill in the
reason to chat, language prompt 28.
After forced chat, redisplay the last menu.
Removed support for non-batching protocols (xmodem) and for
bidirectional protocols.
Removed Ctrl-F G, this is of no use anymore.
Switched to new modular download and upload functions.
With download from file areas, the long filename is sent to
the users, we will only support protocols that allow this.
When an invalid OLR reply packet is received, it is removed
from the users upload directory.
We don't reward upload time anymore, only bytes. It's more
troubles to implement right then it's worth these days. This
is caused by telnet connections when we never know what the
real linespeed is with to/from the user.
Added the following internal file transfer protocols: Xmodem,
Ymodem, Ymodem-1K, Ymodem-G, Zmodem and Zmodem-8K (aka ZedZap).
Xmodem should not be used, but is available because Ymodem is
available, ie: don't make it available for your users.
For more information see the manual setup/protocol.html.
After upload, files are now stored correctly in the filebase.
In change protocol, changed the colors.
With user chat, the timeout timer wasn't refreshed.
Improved test for users protocol available.
Fixed download K and files setting for users on a new day.
mbnewusr:
Changed syntax for calling mbpasswd.
If we can detect the users screenlength then we don't bother
asking the user.
Added logging during execute of mbuseradd.
Corrected wrong ANSI setting for new users.
Added logging of remote host and terminal.
If the external editor is configured a new user gets the
external editor by default instead of the internal editor.
During hangup we set sighup to ignore.
Fixed keyboad input for all bigendian machines.
Rewrote terminal i/o.
mbsetup:
Removed Italian default record. Rewrote code to create default
language records.
Added node setup switch to override node Hold or Down status.
Changed syntax for calling mbpasswd.
Dropped support for newsgroup distribution.
Added setup switches per node to disable PLZ or GZ and BZ2
compression protocols with binkp.
Added setup entry 1.15.8 to set a limit on the size of the
mailer history html page.
Added setup for Internet BBS Chat.
Added setup items 1.13.4 and 1.13.5. These could point to
a valid apache logfile in common format and ftp xferlog
logfile. If defined then downloads via www and or ftp can
be counted.
Dropped support for file areas on CDrom.
In menu 10 added a switch to default connect downlinks SR
instead if S.
Added language defaults for Chinese.
Removed obsolete bbslist editor.
Made some web sitedoc screens look better.
Changed helplines for areamanager filenames to indicate that
these are case sensitive.
Added support for XxxxBSD console port.
For new systems, there will now be 16 terminal ports created
instead of 10, this is the maximum number of safe created ttys.
The ttys are now sorted on the comment fields.
In file transfers edit, removed switches for batch and bidirect
protocols, added a switch for internal protocols.
New internal protocols are automatic added and the external
protocols are disabled. Some fields of the internal protocols
are protected.

the allfiles listings are created. Note that the very first
time only a mark is placed in ~/var and nothing is done.
mbstat:
Code cleanup.
mbuser:
Code cleanup.

Don't start connections with IBC servers that miss settings in
the chatserver setup.
Several commands now send the server address from the servers
setup to the neighbours.
After server connect send the correct usernames already in chat.
When the IBC server detects a IP change of a remote server it

v0.92.0 08-Oct-2006 - 16-Oct-2007
general:
With this version de default internal character encoding is
UTF-8. BBS users who have a UTF-8 terminal can use the bbs in
UTF-8 mode and should have no troubles at all reading and
writing messages in several language encodings.
Fixed building on FreeBSD, tested on 5.3 and 6.2.
Added support to link to the GeoIP library. If it's present on
your system, mbcico, mbsebbs, mbnewusr and mbnntp will log the
country from which the connection is made.
Added example telnet login for NetBSD.
Dropped support for NetBSD < 3.0.
Added support for Ubuntu.
Added support for the ARM processor.
upgrade:
Because some directories will be moved, a special upgrade
procedure is needed. Take the following steps:
1. Don't install the new source yet and make a backup!
2. In the source topdir run "make clean".
3. Unpack the new source.
4. Build new source, "./configure" and "make".
5. Run "./mbsetup-0.92.0/mbsetup", enter global setup and
leave with save. this 'should' move all your existing
language files to the new directory structure.
6. "su", run "make install" and restart the bbs.
7. "exit".
If you didn't do steps 1 and 2 (automatic updates) and you
installed the source over the old source, you will have some
extra files in the lang subdir of the source. No big deal.
If you didn't run step 5 then the new language paths have
the default files from source and not your own. Your own files
are then still under ~/english/*.* ~/dutch/*.* etc. Move the
contents of these subdirs into ~/share/int/menus/en/* etc.
Compile and install this new version.
In all macro files html.* change the charset to UTF-8. You will
find these in /opt/mbse/share/int/macro/*/html.*
If you still have all default macro files then in the source
directory mbsebbs/examples simply run "make macros" to install
the updated versions.
Run "mbfile index -f " once to regenerate all download html
index pages with UTF-8 encoding. Check the error.log for
errors.
In mbsetup menu 1.3.7 change logo.asc into logo.ans and make
sure you have that file. A note about the logo file, it will
be displayed before we know if a user has a utf-8 or ansi
terminal, so change your logo screen so that it has no ansi
grafic characters, just plain ascii with ansi color codes.
Start and leave mbsetup, this will upgrade the newfiles and
filefind reports to set a defaults CHRS kludge CP437 2 which
is good for reports with ANSI blockgraphics.
The next step is optional but advised to make the symbolic
links in the download areas without path information:
mbse$ cd /opt/mbse/ftp
mbse$ find pub -type l -exec rm '{}' \;
mbse$ mbfile check
Make sure mbtask is restarted.
libmbse:
Fixed commandline address parsing if a 2d address was given.

Fixed log message for scanned netmail.
The make web stat command produces UTF-8 webpages.
The add file function now creates links without pathnames.
In rfc2ftn if we cannot find the incoming charset from the
standard table we will fall back to the charset in the
Content-type: header and try to initialize iconv with that
value.
For debug info help to me, the headers Content-Type and
Content-Transfer-Encoding are temporary stored in the fido
message as kludges.
Added mbtask commands to update the MIB counters.
Fixed mbfile import with too many description lines in
files.bbs

Check nodelist permissions and try to correct them.
When the first Zone entry is missing in the nodelist, mbindex
aborts with a fatal error and doesn't replace the nodelist
index.
Keep the latest 4 instead of 2 nodelists in the nodelist
directory to allow a few weeks for recovery.

Debugging with MBSE BBS.
From version 0.33.15 I changed the way debug logging goes. There are no more
#ifdef .. #endif directives in the code that change the loging behaviour.
Lines that could be logged in the code for debug are now written in two
possible ways:
Syslog('b', "This is always logged for debug");
Syslog('B', "This is logged if most_debug flag is true");
The difference is the uppercase or lowercase logclass. Uppercase is only logged
if the global flag most_debug is set to true. If you want to use it in one of
the sources declare that flag like this:
extern int most_debug;
Then, from the moment you need the extra debugging, insert
most_debug = TRUE;
in the code, and set it to FALSE when you are done.
I did this because the extra debug is good for developers but not for regualar
users that need some extra logging. The log output with the most_debug flag
set to TRUE can be huge and does affect system performance.
For those who are developing code for MBSE BBS, use two kinds on debug logging.

New installation procedure.
---------------------------
The old initial system setup was a little tricky and didn't work on some
systems. This procedure is tested on Slackware, RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE and Debian.
I have not tested on other distributions. Installation is now done by a
script which will do the dirty work. This script can be executed once only,
unless you undo all changes the script has done. Basicly, if you already
have installed MBSE BBS, or there are parts left of an old installation, the
script will abort and inform you why. I hope this will give a better and more
universal setup on most distributions.
Installing MBSE BBS for the first time.
---------------------------------------
Login as root and type the following commands to do the basic install:
cd /tmp
tar xfvj /@prefix@/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
cd @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@
bash ./SETUP.sh
This will setup a new directory structure @prefix@ and create's some
necessary users. If this in successfull, logout and login as user "mbse".
To build and install mbse bbs type the following commands:
cd
tar xfvj /pathtopackage/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
cd @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@
./configure
make
su
[type rootpassword]
make install
exit
@prefix@/bin/mbtask
Note: On XxxBSD systems, use gmake instead of make.
The next step is to read the documentation in @prefix@/html with a browser.
After your system is configured and tested type "sh ./CRON.sh" to install
a default crontab for the bbs.
Upgrading MBSE BBS on a running system.
---------------------------------------
Login as user "mbse", backup your bbs configuration, and then type the
following commands:
cd
tar xfvj /pathtopackage/@PACKAGE@-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
cd @PACKAGE@-@VERSION@
./configure
make
su
[type rootpassword]
make install
exit
Read the ChangeLog file for update instructions from the version
you were running and the version you have just installed over the old
version. Perform the upgrades step by step, version by version.
Next the instructions for the standard GNU installation programs:
Basic Installation
==================
These are generic installation instructions.
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
(useful mainly for debugging `configure').
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
the package.
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
with the distribution.
Compilers and Options
=====================
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
this:
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
architecture.
Installation Names
==================
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`@prefix@/bin', `@prefix@/etc', etc. You can specify an
installation prefix other than `@prefix@' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'. This is NOT ADVISED for MBSE BBS!!!
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
Optional Features
=================
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
package recognizes.
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
Specifying the System Type
==========================
There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the host type.
If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
system on which you are compiling the package.
Sharing Defaults
================
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
Operation Controls
==================
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.
`--cache-file=FILE'
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
debugging `configure'.
`--help'
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
`--quiet'
`--silent'
`-q'
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
messages will still be shown).
`--srcdir=DIR'
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
`--version'
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
script, and exit.
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.

MBSE BBS Packages.
Distribution naming scheme:
mbsebbs-0.33.18.tar.bz2
| | | |
| | | +-------- minor patchlevel
| | +----------- minor version
| +------------- major version
+------------------- package name
For fidonet distribution, the tar archive and FILE_ID.DIZ are
zipped together in a file like mbb03318.zip
The odd minor version numbers are developent versions only. From 0.35.1 and up
these will not be released anymore but are only available via cvs.
The even minor version numbers will be stable releases, they will be available
at http://www.mbse.eu and at 2:280/2802. The first version using this
scheme is 0.36.00
For first time installing, see the file INSTALL. After installation, the html
guide is installed in /opt/mbse/html.
Since 1 August 2013 I (Michiel Broek) stopped developing this package. But this
is a GPL2 licensed open source package so feel free to continue to improve it.
I only ask to make it clear to others that it is a modified package. You can do
that by changing the version numbers and messages in the file configure.ac and
then run autoconf to update the configure scripts.

README.developer for MBSE BBS
This file is only available on CVS, not in the distribution. This file will
hold information about CVS tags, scheduled releases and other info for
development only. There are no secrets in this file because it's public
available.
Wordlengths.
From bits/types.h:
Here we assume what is presently the case in all the GCC configurations
we support: long long is always 64 bits, long is always word/address size,
and int is always 32 bits.
IOW: Never use long in the sources because it breaks between 32/64 bit
hardware.
How about time_t, it seems an alias for long! (and it is).

Everything looks allright to start the installation now.
Next the script will install a new group 'bbs' and two new
users, 'mbse' which is the bbs system account, and 'bbs' which
is the login account for bbs users. This account will have no
password! The shell for this account is the main bbs program.
One final important note: This script will make changes to some
of your system files. Because I don't have access to all kinds of
distributions and configurations there is no garantee that this
script is perfect. Please make sure you have a recent system backup.
Also make sure you have resque boot disks and know how to repair
your system. It might also be wise to login as root on another
virtual console incase something goes wrong with system login.
Darwin (OS X) Users must install the .dmg image of user utils
available on Version Tracker and within this archive prior
to continuing the installation.

The script made it to the end, that looks good. Before you logout do some
sanity checks;
1. Can you still login as a normal user.
2. Login on another virtual console, network or whatever as user 'mbse'.
Then type 'echo \$MBSE_ROOT'. Does this show the path to
'$MHOME' or nothing.
3. Login on another virtual console as user 'bbs'. It should not ask for
a password, but should direct try to start the bbs. This is not
installed yet but you should see error messages and then be logged out.
If these three tests weren't successfull, restore /etc/passwd and
or /etc/shadow, the backup copies have the extension '.mbse'.

MBSE BBS V1.0.1 TODO list.
--------------------------
These are a list of things that must be implemented one way or
another. Some things are urgent and necessary to operate the bbs
without human intervention, others are just for comfort, or nice.
I think this list will always contain items, I only hope the urgent
matters will be removed.
Note that most goodies are still in my mind instead of in this file.
Classes: U = Urgent.
N = Normal, second priority.
L = Cosmetic or nice to have.
W = Feature request.
everything:
N: In BSO the i flavor should have been d flavor.
W: Increase size of Unix usernames > 8. The limit on Slackware is 32
characters, defined in utmp.h in UT_NAMESIZE
W: Add personal message area.
N: The ttyinfo.tty field is too short for NetBSD.
W: Implement topic groups for file and message areas, with access level
control.
W: Switch to MySQL as database backend. This can also solve some other
limitations. A php API should be added too.
mbsebbs:
W: OLR, implement file requests.
N: Only count posted messages in local mail areas.
N: OLR: qwk, check netmail entered from reader, fido address missing?
mbfido:
N: Don't log an error if no file_id.diz is found.
W: Check all .flo files for dead attachments.
W: Check all .flo files for to old attachments.
W: Count posted messages during mailscan.
W: Code cleanup and make a structure in this program. Remove duplicate
or similar functions.
N: Process GoldED filerequest netmails with the filereq flag set, we
should create a .req file with the contents of the subject line.
N: Process To: and Cc: lines in messages gated from Fido to Internet.
N: Investigate a method to scan and filter messages using the gateway.
W: Add macro's for stats of all months.
W: Add %from command to areamgr/filemgr.
W: Add netmail notification of changed areas.
W: Make it possible to only virus scan the complete archives.
W: Let mbfido areas with a special switch update area descriptions.
W: Send rulefile via netmail for each new connected mail area.
W: Send notifications to downlinks about changed areas from uplink.
W: Add statistic mail messages. Via AMC??
N: Hatch statistics are not updated.
W: Copy personal mail to a personal message area.
W: Someday make retoss from bad possible (volonteers?).
W: AreaMgr %rescan should auto connect disconnected areas.
mbcico:
W: Implement binkp option ND and NDA.
mbnntp:
N: fetched mail doesn't get the status Rcvd if it was for the user.
N: Do a better job for message linking by newsclients. This is a
problem because we use the message numbers and messages are
sometimes renumbered. This will make some clients try to fetch
the wrong messages because they cache the message id's.
N: Lastread pointers are not updated.
N: Investigate a method to scan and filter messages using the gateway.
mbaff:
W: Rewrite filefind search algorithm.
mbsetup:
U: Menu 7.x.4.1 password length too large?
U: Add check for empty data files.
N: Add a check for double areatag names. See MySQL plan.
N: Use some sort of sorting for the system aka's and make sure the
main aka with zone's is listed first. Having zone's mixed gives
too high outbound stats and the outbound is scanned multiple times.
N: Put ZMH fields in the network setup for each zone. Currently Z1-6.
See MySQL plan.
W: Add global setup in menus 9.1 and 10.1 at least to change uplink
data.
W: See if a check can be made in file groups setup for the areas file
format, if a filegate list is installed and the filegate switch
setting is wrong, a lot of wrong areas will be created.

<div align="right"><h5>Last update 3-Jul-2011</h5></div>
<div align="center"><h1>MBSE BBS Basic Installation</h1></div>
<h3>Introduction.</h3>
<p>
Before you compile and install MBSE BBS you must first setup the basic
environment. If you don't do this, things will fail.
<p>
To compile and install MBSE BBS most distributions have installed all needed packages.
If important packages are missing then the configure script will tell you. There are also
less important packages which if missinng still let you compile MBSE BBS, but you will miss
some features. Here is a short list of these packages:
<ol>
<li><b>Zlib</b>. On some distributions you also need <b>zlib development</b>. When you have
zlib installed, then in <b>mbcico</b> extra code will be compiled in the Hydra and Binkp protocol drivers
that will allow the PLZ extension. In the binkp protocol GZ compression will be enabled as well.</li>
<li><b>Bzlib</b>. On some distributions you need to install <b>bzlib2 development</b> to add
support for binkp BZ2 compression.</li>
<li><b>GeoIP</b>. Allows logging of the origin of the network connections by country and continent.
You need at least GeoIP 1.4.3 to compile without errors. See
<A HREF="http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country" rel="nofollow">www.maxmind.com</A>.
</ol>
If you use Gentoo or Ubuntu, read the files README.Gentoo or README.Ubuntu. The last one may be usefull
for Debian users too.
<P>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Step 1: planning the filesystems.</h3>
<p>
MBSE BBS is default installed in <b>/opt/mbse</b>. It should be possible to install the bbs in a different
location but this is not supported. Many have tried, and and only a few have succeeded. See
<A HREF="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/" rel="nofollow">Filesystem Hierarchy Standard</A> for more info.
The default filesystem layout looks like this:<br>

</pre>
<p>
Don't use UMSDOS or SAMBA filesystems for the bbs, stick by the standard
GNU/Linux
filesystems (ext2, ext3 or reiserfs) or ufs if you use FreeBSD.
If you intent to make your bbs also accessible
by FTP and WWW you must create the directory structure under the ftp user
behind the pub directory. Read <a href="misc/ftpserver.html">the
ftp server</a> doc for details. If you don't follow these guidlines, you
will run into trouble later and have to spend a lot of time in correcting
this error.
<P>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Step 2: Running the installation script.</h3>
<p>
First, if you use FreeBSD, install the psmisc package. This will make sure
that MBSE BBS is stopped properly if you shutdown your computer. Also if you
use FreeBSD 5.0 or later make sure that you mount procfs, see <b>man procfs</b>
for details. If you don't mount procfs, you cannot add new users to the bbs and
existing bbs users cannot change their passwords. As sysop, you can't change
passwords too.<br>
If you are upgrading, proceed with step 4. If not, follow the next steps
very carefully!<br>
The installation script must be run by root. It checks if there is a
previous or failed installation on your system. If that's so the script will
not run. In other words, you can only run this script once. The script makes
backup copies of the system files it changes, these files will get the
extension <strong>.mbse</strong> To run the installation script you need
the archive <strong>mbbsebbs-@VERSION@.tar.bz2</strong>.
Unpack this archive on your system, in /tmp:
<pre>
cd /tmp
tar xfvj /path/to/the/mbsebbs-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
</pre>
To start the script type:
<pre>
cd mbsebbs-@VERSION@
bash ./SETUP.sh
</pre>
Ubuntu users should do:
<pre>
cd mbsebbs-@VERSION@
sudo bash ./SETUP.sh
</pre>
Yes, use <b>bash</b> as shell here. On some systems root doesn't use bash
as login shell, calling the script with bash forces the use of bash.
The script does the following:
<ol>
<li>Create the group <strong>bbs</strong>
<li>Create the user <strong>mbse</strong> On Ubuntu this user is added to the admin group.
<li>Create a <strong>.profile</strong> for user <strong>mbse</strong>
<li>Create and set owner of directory tree under /opt/mbse
</ol>
Then the script will ask you to give a password for user <strong>mbse</strong>
This password is for system maintenance and for you to make changes to the
bbs. You will need that frequently but you should not make that password
easy to guess of course. The script will then continue again:
<ol start="5">
<li>The user <strong>bbs</strong> is added.
<li>The password will be removed from user <strong>bbs</strong> This action
will make changes in /etc/shadow (if you have that) otherwise in /etc/passwd.
On FreeBSD it uses other tools to modify the master database.
On NetBSD you have to do that manually, there are no tools to do that.
<li>If they don't exist in the file /etc/services the services fido, tfido
and binkp will be added.
<li>If they don't exist in the file /etc/inetd.conf the internet protocols
for the mailer will be added. The <strong>inetd</strong> is restarted to
activate the changes. If your distribution uses xinetd instead of inetd, an
include file for xinetd is added instead.
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Step 3: Check the basic installation</h3>
<p>
The last screen of the script is about sanity checks. Perform those checks!
If something is wrong, now is the time to fix it. Don't panic and remember
the backups of the system files that are changed are in /etc with the
extension <strong>.mbse</strong> i.e: those were the original files.
The installation logfile is copied to /opt/mbse.
If everythings is allright, then remove the directory /tmp/mbsebbs-@VERSION@:
<pre>
cd /tmp
rm -Rf mbsebbs-@VERSION@
</pre>
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Step 4: Install the basic packages.</h3>
<p>
Login as user <b>mbse</b>. Yes, very important, <b>login as user mbse</b>.
While in mbse's home directory (/opt/mbse) unpack the distribution archives:
<pre>
tar xfvj /path/to/mbsebbs-@VERSION@.tar.bz2
</pre>
You now have the subdirectory with sources in the right place.
Next build the binaries and install them using the following commands:
<pre>
cd ~/mbsebbs-@VERSION@
./configure [--enable-optimize] [--enable-newsgate] [--enable-gdkdel]
make
su <b>important, do not use "su -"</b>
password: <em>enter root password here</em>
make install
exit
</pre>
Ubuntu users should do:
<pre>
cd ~/mbsebbs-@VERSION@
./configure [--enable-optimize] [--enable-newsgate] [--enable-gdkdel]
make
sudo make install
</pre>
<b>Important:</b> it seems logical to use the <code>--enable-newsgate</code> option
but it isn't. When you do, the mbnntp program is disabled and you cannot serve
echomail as news to your users via internet. But you can gate echomail to the
internet. Independant of your choice, you can allways make internet news available
for your bbs users. Only use --enable-newsgate if you really need to gate echomail
to the internet.
<p>
To support Chinese the DELete key needs to be changed because it conflicts with one
of the characters. If you want to use Chinese, use <code>--enable-gbkdel</code>
to configure.
<p>
The last part of the installation procedure shows you the location of the bbs
startup script that is added to your system. Remember this one for a moment.
Because this is your first
time installation, example menus and example textfiles are installed.
If they already exist on your systems (when you do an upgrade) they
will not be installed again.
<p>
Now start the bbs for the first time (still as root) by executing the startup
script you just saw on the screen followed by a space and the word <b>start</b>.
For example:
<pre>
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed start
</pre>
Ubuntu users do:
<pre>
sudo /etc/init.d/mbsebbs start
</pre>
This will start the <b>mbtask</b> daemon.
After that the bbs will be opened for use.
Check the file <b>/opt/mbse/log/mbtask.log</b> for startup problems.
The first time <b>mbtask</b> is started on your system it will create a
lot of new configuration files with default settings.
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Step 5: Ready.</h3>
<p>
Now you have shell scripts in ~/etc, most of them are called by cron, some
are called during system startup and shutdown. You also have some default
configuration files, these are ttyinfo, modems, fidonet networks. In the
default (english) directory you now have default menu datafiles and ansi
screens. These are copies of my test system so you have to edit them to
build your own bbs.<br>
Editing ansi screens can be done on a GNU/Linux system with one of the
following packages:
<ol>
<li><strong>duhdraw</strong>, this is available from 2:280/2802 as
<strong>duhdraw.tgz</strong> (68 Kbytes).
The binaries are included in this archive, if you compile it yourself
it may give trouble so if the binaries work, use these.</li>
<li><strong>TetraDraw</strong> This is a very nice Ansi editor, you can
get this file as TETR~VC#.TGZ from 2:280/2802. The file is 157 Kbytes.
</ol>
You may also want to edit ~/etc/header.txt and ~/etc/footer.txt, these
files are the top and bottom of the newfiles/allfiles listings.
<P>
Now the basic environment is finished, the next thing to do is
<a href="setup/index.html">configure the bbs</a>.

<H3>Which distribution</H3>
<P>
GNU/Linux is available in several distributions, they all have advantages and
disadvantages for bbs use. Which distribution to pick is very personal.
Since late 2001 a port to FreeBSD is available, from version 0.33.19 this
port is ready to use.
Since januari 2002 a port to NetBSD is available, later other *BSD versions
were added.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Slackware</H3>
<P>
I am using MBSE BBS on several Slackware distributions. You can make a very small
setup for MBSE BBS like Zipslack. Not included is the mgetty package.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Redhat and Mandrake</H3>
<P>
I write this as if these are the same which isn't true of course. From MBSE
BBS's point of view they are almost the same, so that's why I treat them as
the same distributions. The E-Smith server and gateway based on RedHat is also
supported.
For people with little GNU/Linux experience these
distributions are a good choice if you can spare the diskspace. I haven't
found a simple dedicated setup for the bbs, so the safest way is to install
allmost everything, which is quite simple. This will cost you about 1200 Megs.
Maybe that someone more experienced with these distro's can give more details
on how to build a small server.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>SuSE</H3>
<P>
Since SuSE 7.1 the setup scripts are working and tested. Older distro's
might work.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Debian</H3>
<P>
The installation works on a Debian 2.1, 2.2 and 3.0 distribution without any problems.
How to build an optimized Debian system is not tested by me.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Ubuntu</H3>
<P>
Since 0.91.10 the installation on Ubuntu 7.04 works fine. Read the file README.Ubuntu in
the source for more information.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>GenToo</H3>
<P>
Installation and startup scripts are tested on GenToo. Read the file README.Gentoo for
more information.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>FreeBSD</H3>
<P>
I tested on FreeBSD 6.2 stable release. Older releases have been used and work.
The setup is quite simple, do a small setup (average user), and add some needed packages
from the ports collection such as gcc, mgetty, infozip etc.
You may need to build mgetty yourself if you have an older FreeBSD distribution.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>NetBSD</H3>
<P>
Currently NetBSD 3.1 is used for the latest tests. NetBSD before 3.0 doesn't
work anymore.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>OpenBSD</H3>
<P>
Currently OpenBSD 3.7 is used for testing.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Famous last words...</H3>
<P>
I don't have the diskspace and time for all kinds of GNU/Linux distributions
to install for testing. Most distributions work without major changes. For
questions about "unsupported" distributions, the best place to be is in the
MBSE support echo.

<div align='center'><H1>MBSE BBS - Running DOS doors.</H1></div>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>
Running DOS doors is possible on systems that can run
<a href="http://www.dosemu.org" rel="nofollow">dosemu</a>. The latest versions of dosemu don't
need to be started suid root or started using sudo, it can run as the user that
is logged in the bbs. Since that is possible, a new location for the virtual C:
drive is now being used withing the $MBSE_ROOT file structure. This virtual C:
drive is owned by the group bbs. The basic ideas how doors should be run written
by Redy Rodriguez are still valid, but some scripts are changed and some dosemu
files must be copied into the mbse directory tree.<p>
<em>One very important note: the virtual dos drive is now $MBSE_ROOT/var/dosemu/c
Don't use another location or change the access rights, there will be several
references from mbse to that and only that location for dos support.
Choose another one and you are on your own!</em>
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Installing dosemu</h3>
<p>
Some distributions have good dosemu packages, others don't. You need a dosemu
that can be used in a systemwide multiuser setup. The bad packages want to have
the dos drive in each users home directory, this is not what we want for doors.
If you don't have a good dosemu you have to compile your own. This is not too
complicated. First download the source from <a
href="http://www.dosemu.org" rel="nofollow">dosemu</a>. You don't need the freedos-bin source
if you are going to use ms-dos or pc-dos.
Unpack the source in some directory of your choice and compile the sources:<br>
<pre>
mbse@seaport$ tar xfvz dosemu-1.2.2.tgz
mbse@seaport$ cd dosemu-1.2.2
mbse@seaport:~/dosemu-1.2.2$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/dosemu --with-x
mbse@seaport:~/dosemu-1.2.2$ make
</pre>
Note that the <code>--with-x</code> is not needed for running doors, but it
might be handy that you can use dosemu as user mbse in X to do maintenance on
your doors.<br>
Then as root do:<br>
<pre>
root@seaport:~/dosemu-1.2.2# make install
</pre>
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Setup dosemu in mbse</h3>
<p>
First copy <code>/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf</code> into <code>~/etc/dosmeu</code>.
Then edit <code>~/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf</code> so that we have a version for
mbse users. Set the following settings in that file:<br>
<pre>
$_hdimage = "/opt/mbse/var/dosemu/c"
$_floppy_a = ""
$_xms = (1024)
$_ems = (2048)
$_dpmi = (0x1000)
$_layout = "us"
</pre>
Next copy this new file as <code>virtual.conf</code> in
<code>~/etc/dosemu/</code>. Then add the following line:
<pre>
$_com1 = "virtual"
</pre>
Note that in older dosemu versions you could use a commandline option to do
this, but this isn't supported anymore since dosemu-1.2.x. The
<code>rundoor.sh</code> now also uses two configuration files.<br>
Next we need to setup the C: drive. Do this as user mbse. First type <code>umask
007</code>, this sets the create mode for directories to 0770 and files to 0660
so that we create all files and directories read/write for all bbs users. This
is very important! Type the following commands:
<pre>
mbse@seaport:~$ umask 007
mbse@seaport:~$ cd var/dosemu/c
mbse@seaport:~/var/dosemu/c$ mkdir dos dosemu temp util doors
</pre>
Now we must install dos. If you use ms-dos then in <code>~/var/dosemu/c</code>
copy the ms-dos files <code>command.com</code>, <code>io.sys</code> and
<code>msdos.sys</code>. In <code>~/var/dosemu/c/dos</code> copy all ms-dos
commands. Next install the dosemu utilities, copy these from
<code>/usr/share/dosemu/freedos/dosemu</code> to
<code>~/var/dosemu/c/dosemu</code>. Now there is a empty
<code>~/var/dosemu/c/util</code>, copy some utilities here such as your
favourite dos editor, zip and unzip etc.<br>
Next we must create <code>config.sys</code> and <code>autoexec.bat</code>. These
files must be dos crlf formatted. You can do that with the joe editor, for
example <code>joe -crlf config.sys</code>. Examples:<br>
<pre>
config.sys:
BUFFERS = 20
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=50
autoexec.bat:
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $P$G
PATH C:\DOSEMU;C:\DOS;C:\UTIL;
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
Lh C:\DOS\DOSKEY /INSERT
Lh C:\DOS\SHARE
</pre>
Now we are ready to try it, type <code>mbsedos</code> and the dos emulator
should start. You can leave dosemu with the command <code>exitemu</code>.
<p>&nbsp;</P>
<h3>Installing a door</h3>
<p>
All doors are started using the script <code>~/bin/rundoor.sh</code>. This script
is never started directly, you should make a copy of that with the name of the
door, but the best solution is to make a symlink with the name of the door. For
example:<br>
<pre>
mbse@seaport$ cd ~/bin
mbse@seaport:~bin$ ln -s rundoor.sh 8ball
</pre>
See also inside <code>rundoor.sh</code> for the instructions. This file does
several things, first it prepares the users home directory with the dosemu
environment so that dosemu will run for the user. Then it creates a node
directory in the dos C: drive and copies the door dropfiles into that node
directory. Finally it starts dosemu in virtual comport mode and inserts the
commands in dos to start the door.<br>
But before we can run the door, the door itself must be installed in the dos
partition. In this example I will explain how to install the door 8ball.
Start <code>mbsedos</code> and create a directory <code>c:\doors\8ball</code>.
Unpack 8ball in that directory and run <code>setup</code>. Test the door with
the command <code>local</code>. Now goto the directory <code>c:\doors</code> and
create the file <code>8ball.bat</code>. That file will be used to start the
door. It will be called by <code>c:\doors.bat</code> with two parameters, the
name of the door and the nodenumber.
<pre>
@ECHO OFF
C:
C:\UTIL\X00 E B,0,57600
CD \DOORS\8BALL
ASKME.EXE /E /C1 /PC:\DOORS\NODE%1
C:\UTIL\X00
CD \DOORS\NODE%1
DEL DOOR.SYS
DEL DOOR32.SYS
</pre>
Finally we have to make a menu entry to start the door. The Opt. Data line is
the command to start the door, the optional <code>/N</code> is replaced by the
current nodenumber of the user. A second option may be used,
<code>novirtual</code>, if that is present the <code>rundoor.sh</code> will
start dosemu without setting the comport in virtual mode. Use this if your door
isn't a real door but a normal dos program.
<p>
<img src="images/doors.png" alt="door setup" border="0"><p>
Note that I use the
Display lines to make the menu, there are only ansi screens for the top and
common lines on the screen, see the second image how to build the whole doors
menu.
<p>
<img src="images/doors2.png" alt="doors menu" border="0">
<p>
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>Netmail support</h3>
<p>
In the virtual c: drive you need some directories that point to several other
mbse subdirectories. You may need at least three of them, one to put netmail in,
one to put files in to send and one semafore directory to tell mbse there is
something to send. For example like this:
<pre>
ln -s /opt/mbse/var/msgs /opt/mbse/var/dosemu/c/msgs
ln -s /opt/mbse/var/boxes/node92_100_60 /opt/mbse/var/dosemu/c/outbox
ln -s /opt/mbse/var/sema /opt/mbse/var/dosemu/c/sema
</pre>
In dos you now have:
<pre>
C:\MSGS
C:\OUTBOX
C:\SEMA
</pre>
In <code>C:\MSGS</code> doors may put *.msg netmails.
File attaches won't work from these netmails because the netmails
point to files with dosnames. (May be solved later). The script that calls the
door, for example <code>c:\doors\bre.bat</code> must copy the file to send to
the node outbound box. In the above example that would be copy to
<code>C:\OUTBOX</code>.
To create the semafore to tell mbse to scan add to the batfile (for example
<code>C:\DOORS\BRE.BAT</code> the following two lines:
<pre>
CD C:\SEMA
ECHO ""&gt;MAILOUT
</pre>
See also the <a href="faq.html#_Doors">F.A.Q.</a> for some very usefull tips and
tricks.
Using the same method with symlinks, you can make all paths you need from the
rest of mbse visible in dos. Use with care.
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<h3>What if I don't upgrade</h3>
<p>
That's your choice, but for a while the old method starting dosemu via sudo is
still supported. The file <code>~/bin/bbsdoor.sh</code> is still there, but the
file <code>~/bin/rundoor.sh</code> is renamed to
<code>~/bin/runvirtual.sh</code>. So you should change all symlinks of your door
names in <code>~/bin</code> (or copies) to <code>~/bin/runvirtual.sh</code>. You
should not need to change anything else.
<p>
<h3>Problems</h3>
<p>
Currently there are some troubles with modem calls.

<div align='right'><h5>Last update 30-Jun-2005</h5></div>
<div align='center'><H1>MBSE BBS - Error return codes.</H1></div>
<P>
Following is a list of return codes from all official mbse programs and
utilities. These codes can be used in scripts. If a program exits normally, the
return code is 0. If a program exits by a signal, the return code is the signal
number. This means if you kill a running program with a SIGTERM, the programs
exits with the SIGTERM error number. On most platforms this is 15. These
errorcodes are for the most part the same on all *nix platforms but because of
some small differences I cannot list these here. Just do a <b>kill -l</b> to see
a list of errors for your own platform.<br>
Here is the list of other return codes:
<OL start="100">
<LI>Commandline error
<LI>Configuration error
<LI>Initialisation error
<LI>A full disk partition
<LI>UPS alarm detected
<LI>No valid recipients
<LI>Execute external program failed
<LI>Set tty failed
<LI>File transfer error
<LI>File attach failed
<LI>Can't lock program, retry later
<LI>Node not in nodelist
<LI>Node may not be called
<LI>Can't make connection
<LI>Can't open tty port
<LI>Node is locked
<LI>Node IP address not found
<LI>Unknow session type
<LI>Not Zone Mail Hour
<LI>Modem error
<LI>No modemport available
<LI>Session error (password)
<LI>EMSI session error
<LI>FTSC session error
<LI>WaZoo session error
<LI>YooHoo session error
<LI>Outbound scan error
<LI>Can't make poll
<LI>File request error
<LI>Error processing nodediff
<LI>Virus found
<LI>General error
<LI>Timeout error
</OL>
<P>
The mailer can also return the following error codes:
<OL start="201">
<LI>TTY general error
<LI>TTY timeout
<LI>TTY EndOfFile
<LI>TTY Hangup
<LI>TTY Empty
</OL>
<P>
When an external program is run, a mbse program can exit with return code 256 +
the return code of the external program. So if the external program exits with
error code 7, the code returned by the mbse program is 263.

<div align='center'><H1>Running a BBS under Unix.</H1></div>
<h3>Introduction</H3>
<P>
Everyone who has been running a (single line) BBS under DOS until now will
need to understand that running a BBS under Unix (or any other multitasking
os) is completly different of what you are used to. Under DOS things were
quite simple, from AUTOEXEC.BAT you started a new .BAT file that would run
forever and started all needed programs after each other.
The programs that where started
depended on the errorlevel of the previous program. Only one program could
run at the same time.
<P>
People who had previous run a BBS on another multitasking os, or were running
a BBS on a small lan with a fileserver and workstations for each line, are
already more used to the idea of running more programs at the same time,
and to "signal" what to do next with semafore files.
<P>
The Unix aproach is more or less the same, but there are more differences.
The main difference is that there is no mailer connected with the modem waiting
for a call, instead there is a getty process watching your modem(s). And for
internet calls, these are started via (x)inetd using standard *nix methods.
Another
big difference is that you don't see what's happening, there is no screen
with the mailer or bbs picture on it. All programs run in the background. If
you don't like that, stop now and go back to your old DOS bbs. It's just the
way everything is done.
<P>
Programs that must start at specific times (events in DOS), are started from
cron, this is the event scheduler for Unix. With this
program maintenance can be started, polls created etc. For starting programs
when they are needed there is a taskmanager loaded at system bootup. This
taskmanager "watches" the semafore directory of the bbs and will start what
is needed. It will also watch the mailer outbound to see if there are nodes
to call.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Waiting for a call .....</H3>
<P>
Under Unix this is done with the mgetty program, this is the
process that is connected with each modem (or ISDN adapter) and waits for a
call. The mgetty program (written by Gert Doering, gert@greenie.muc.de) will
detect the call, and find out what or who did make the call. It can detect
incoming humans who want a login prompt, PPP calls from users who want to
make a PPP connection (browsing your BBS whith netscape for example), A fax
machine trying to deliver a fax and finally a mailer trying to establish
an EMSI, FSC-0006 or FSC-0001 session. The mgetty program is responsible for
starting the right client programs. How to do this is explained in the
installation manuals, but be sure to compile it with Fido and PPP support.
<P>
For internet calls, via (x)inetd mbsebbs can accept calls from connections on
ports. For example if a connection comes in on port 24554 the mailer is started
in binkp mode.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>A Human is calling.</H3>
<P>
This could be a bbs user. For each user to login to your bbs there is a
unix account. They automatic create such an account the first time they login
with the <b>bbs</b> account. During the creation of their account the shell that is
installed for there account is the mbsebbs binary, so that's the only thing
that they get if they call in. When they logout the bbs, or drop carrier etc,
the session is ended and mgetty takes over the line again.
Note that they never can get a Unix shell unless you install a <b>door</b>
in the bbs that calls a shell for them.
<P>
Because for dialin with mgetty the mblogin program is used and not the normal
login program, only bbs users can login. All other users including <b>root</b> are
denied access.
You might consider installing SSH on your system for remote maintenance.
<p>
It is also possible to install the mblogin program as the login program for
telnet users if you are directly connected to the internet.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>A PPP call is detected.</H3>
<P>
Installing a PPP server on your system is beyound the scope of this project.
However if you did install it, users can login your bbs with their favourite
browser and use your bbs. Note that the necessary tools to automatic create
newsgroups don't exist at this time. With the proper setup you can automatic
create and maintain html pages for the file areas.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>A mailer call is detected.</h3>
<P>
If a mailer is detected by mgetty, the <b>mbcico</b> program is started and will
take over from mgetty. It will establish a mail session with the caller and
the mail and or files will be exchanged just like any DOS mailer would do.
After the call, mbcico will hangup and mgetty will take control of your modem
again. If there is any mail received, mbcico will place the semafore <b>mailin</b>
so that another process can take care of the received mail.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<h3>There is mail in the inbound</h3>
<P>
As I said before, if the <b>mailin</b> semafore is present, the task manager will
then start the <b>mbfido</b> program that will toss the mail, process any files
received and if necessary it will create other semafore's for example to link
the message bases, start the nodelist compiler etc. Note that this can be done
while there may be a new mailsession going on, a bbs user is online, it doesn't
matter. Processing mail and files can be done real multitasking without any
damage to other processes.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>It's time to poll a node</h3>
<P>
At the time that you whish to poll a node, let cron create "poll" requests.
When a poll is created, the semafore <b>scanout</b> is also created.
The taskmanager will then start mbcico at regular intervals so that mail will
get out. If there is no more mail to send, the <b>scanout</b> semafore is removed.
If a timeslot ends, you can just remove the "poll" requests that didn't succeed.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>It's Zone Mail Hour, so now what</h3>
<P>
Relax, if you have netmail ready for nodes the
mailer script will try to send these mails to those nodes. If it was crash
mail, and the destination was a non CM node, the mailer will try to send those
mails too. Note that other crashmails are send anytime. Also note that packed
mail and files are not send during ZMH. If a node calls you during ZMH he will
get everything that's waiting, including packed mail and files. The task manager
(more on that later) calculates the Zone Mail Hour from UTC time, you don't
have to change anything for summer- and wintertime. The taskmanager knows about
all zone mail hours of all Fidonet zones (1..6). For othernets, zone mail hour
is taken from the setup as default value. The taskmanager will also handle the
mail for nodes with the Txx flag (FSC-0062) on the right times.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Daily maintenane</h3>
<P>
This is started by cron jobs. There is no need to take
your bbs lines down during maintenance, you can do it any time of the day.
I have made several scripts for this, daily, weekly and monthly.
<P>&nbsp;<P>
<h3>How about system load</h3>
<P>
Because GNU/Linux is a 32 bit os, not bothered with a graphical user interface
(unless you install it), it has all the time in the world to serve your
bbs programs. Background programs are build to release time to the Unix os,
they don't need to run fast because it's background processing. The bbs and
the mailer, have a low server load although there is no timerelease build
in. Only the bbs has some short moments when it needs a lot of your system,
for example when a user logs in and scans for new mail. The bbs I run is a
486-DX4 100 MHz, 20 MB ram, with 2 analogue lines, this seems to work fine.
When this system's MOBO died, I used a 386DX33 for several months with
20 MB ram, and the only thing users ever noticed was that scanning for new
mail was slower. I think this is the slowest harware that will work.
However, you must always use 16550A uarts for the COM ports. For best
performance use SCSI disks. I noticed that old 5"FH SCSI disks perform better
for bbs usage then modern EIDE disks. This is probably caused by the fact that
the kernel needs more time for the cheap IDE bus.
If you want to use X11 on your bbs, you need more ram and a faster CPU or a
separate machine via a lan and export the display to that machine. Currently the
smallest amount of memory you need is 36 MB, and that amount is only needed if
you use a virus scanner which needs more memory then mbse.
