      -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.
      -Editing ansi screens can be done on a Linux system with duhdraw, -this is available from 2:280/2802 as duhdraw.tgz (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.
      -Another editor is available from -http://www.drastic.net/bmdraw/, -you can find the tar.gz file in -http://www.drastic.net/bmdraw/files/bmd022.tgz, it's about 36 Kbytes. -This is also a thedraw clone for Linux. Note, at my system I needed to run it as root.
      -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. - -

      Description.

      -

      -mbcico stands for MBse "Internet - Fidonet Copy In /Copy Out", -this is a FidoNet(r) compatible transport agent. It is based on -ifcico written by Eugene G. Crosser, <crosser@average.org>, -2:5020/230@FidoNet. I changed the name of the program to make the difference -between ifcico and mbcico. Nowadays it is -quite different then ifcico. -

      -Currently it supports FTS-0001, YooHoo/2U2 and EMSI handshake protocols, -Xmodem, Telink, Modem7, Hydra, SEAlink with and without overdrive and -crash recovery, Bark file and update requests, WaZoo protocols: DietIFNA, -plain Zmodem (aka ZedZip, EMSI flag "ZMO") and ZedZap, WaZoo file and -update requests (nodelist flag should be XA). WaZoo file and update requests -do also work with FTS-0001 sessions, this is supported by several well known DOS -mailers also. -Password protected requests and update requests are implemented (but not -yet full tested). -

      -There is also a special protocol optimized to use over TCP/IP connections, -contributed by Stanislav Voronyi <stas@uanet.kharkov.ua>, it is -identiefied by EMSI proto code TCP (not registered) and nodelist flag IFC. -The default port is 60179. There is a telnet variant on this, the default -port is 23, and nodelist flag is ITN. The telnet variant is written by -T. Tanaka. -

      -There is also a Binkp implementation, this is a -bi-directional TCP/IP protocol. -This protocol is prefferred over the IFC protocol because it is -more efficient. Nodelist flag is IBN, the default port is 24554, and the -nodelist request flag is XX. This Binkp implementation supports multiple -batches, however this is only tested against another mbcico. -I don't know if any other mailer supports this option, but it is documented -in the spec's. -

      -Outbound directory structure is BinkleyTerm compatible, with domains and -point subdirectories (full 5d). There are separate "protected" and -"unprotected" inbound directories for the incoming sessions with the nodes -that are in your setup. Files received during outbound sessions are always -stored in the "protected" inbound. -

      -"Magic" file request processors are executable files placed in the "magic" -directory. If a request is made for a file with matching name, the -executable from the "magic" directory is run, and its stdout output is mailed -to the requestor. Full requestor's address, in the form of "John Smith of -1:234/56/7" is passed to the executable in the command line. Non-executable -files in the magic directory contain the full names to magic filenames. The -magic NODELIST can thus point to the full path and filename of your latest -nodelist. These magic names are automatic maintained by the mbfido -program when the magic name is set in the .tic file that you receive. -

      -To run mbcico in master mode, you need to make dialout -devices read/writeable for mbcico, and do the same for -the directory where your uucp locks are created (usually /var/locks). -

       

      - -

      Answer Mode.

      -

      -To make mbcico work in answer mode, you need -mgetty written by Gert Doering. mbcico must be -started with one of the following parameters: -

      -FTS-0001 call:       "/opt/mbse/bin/mbcico tsync"
-FTS-0006 call:       "/opt/mbse/bin/mbcico yoohoo"
-EMSI call:           "/opt/mbse/bin/mbcico **EMSI_....."
-

      -In the latter case the received EMSI packet should be passed whitout trailing -CR). To make this work mgetty must be compiled with the --DFIDO option. Other getty programs might work. -

      -To answer TCP/IP calls the following lines should be added to /etc/inetd.conf: -

      -binkd   stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbcico    mbcico -t ibn
-tfido   stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbcico    mbcico -t itn
-fido    stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbcico    mbcico -t ifc
-

      -In the file /etc/services the following lines must be present: -

      -binkd           24554/tcp               # mbcico IBN mode
-tfido           60177/tcp               # mbcico ITN mode
-fido            60179/tcp               # mbcico IFC mode
-mbse            60180/tcp               # MBSE BBS deamon
-

      -In this case I installed the ITN mode at port 60177 instead of 23 like most -sysops do. -

-
      -These codes are also stored in status files for nodes, with the extension -of ".sts". These are small datafiles containing three decimal numbers. -
        -
      1. Time retry code, this is the last call attempt time. This is an unsigned - long representing the number of seconds since the epoch. -
      2. Retries, this is the number of consequtive call attempts made that returned - "call failed" or other errors. This field is zeroed when the call succeeds and - when a new "poll" is created. If the value is 30, the node won't be called - anymore. -
      3. Code, this is the return code of the last attempt. -

      Configuration.

      -

      -The behaviour of mbcico can be configured with mbsetup, -section 1.16 If something doesn't do what you want, set the debug on for -that problem. This will produce huge logfiles, but also a lot of information. -Important flags are Device IO, EMSI debug, File forward, Locking, Outboundscan -and Session. -

       

      - -

      Bugs.

      -

      -Incoming calls from McMail mailers, McMail is quite hasty -to establish an EMSI session, and times out in less than a second. So -if your system is heavy loaded, or not too fast, McMail cannot connect -with your system. This is a known problem with McMail 1.0 and older, -later versions are ok. -

      Answer Mode.

      +

      +To make mbcico work in answer mode, you need +mgetty written by Gert Doering. mbcico must be +started with one of the following parameters: +

      +FTS-0001 call:       "/opt/mbse/bin/mbcico tsync"
+FTS-0006 call:       "/opt/mbse/bin/mbcico yoohoo"
+EMSI call:           "/opt/mbse/bin/mbcico **EMSI_....."
+

      +In the latter case the received EMSI packet should be passed whitout trailing +CR). To make this work mgetty must be compiled with the +-DFIDO option. Other getty programs might work. +

      +To answer TCP/IP calls the following lines should be added to /etc/inetd.conf: +

      +binkd   stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbcico    mbcico -t ibn
+tfido   stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbcico    mbcico -t itn
+fido    stream  tcp     nowait  mbse    /opt/mbse/bin/mbcico    mbcico -t ifc
+

      +If your system uses xinetd the file /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs could be: +

      +#:MBSE BBS services are defined here.
+
+service binkp
+{
+	socket_type     = stream

+	instances       = 10
+	server          = /opt/mbse/bin/mbcico
+	server_args     = -t ibn

+	server_args     = -t ifc
+}
+

      +In the file /etc/services the following lines must be present: +

+mbse            60180/tcp               # MBSE BBS deamon
+

      +In this case I installed the ITN mode at port 60177 instead of 23 like most +sysops do. +

      Configuration.

      +

      +The behaviour of mbcico can be configured with mbsetup, +section 1.17 If something doesn't do what you want, set the debug on for +that problem. This will produce huge logfiles, but also a lot of information. +Important flags are Device IO, EMSI debug, File forward, Locking, Outboundscan +and Session. +

       

      + +

      Bugs.

      +

      +Incoming calls from McMail mailers, McMail is quite hasty +to establish an EMSI session, and times out in less than a second. So +if your system is heavy loaded, or not too fast, McMail cannot connect +with your system. This is a known problem with McMail 1.0 and older, +later versions are ok. +

      Description.

      -

      -mbfbgen is used to import filebase areas from CD-ROM. This -util works like fbgen which is known to RA users. It reads -the file files.bbs to get the filenames and descriptions -to build the filedatabase. -

      -To import a filebase you must setup the area with mbsetup. -If you are really importing from a CD that will stay mounted on your system -you must set CDrom to yes. If the files.bbs file is not in the -directory were the files are, but somewere else on the CD, you must fill in -the field Files.bbs in the edit file area screen. -If the files.bbs file is in the same directory together with the files, you may -leave that field blank. -It is handy to use a closed range of file areas. -Once you are ready with the setup start mbfbgen, enter the -start and end area numbers, the uploader name, and the import will start. -This can last quite long as from each file the 32 bits CRC is calculated -that will be stored in the filedatabase. When mbfbgen is -finished, run mbfile index to recreate the filerequest index -file. -

       

      - -

      Environmet.

      -

      -In order to run fbgen you must set the global variable -$MBSE_ROOT. This variable must point to the root directory -of the bbs structure. The main configuration file config.data -must be present in the ~/etc directory. -

      Synopsis.

      -

      -mbfido [command(s)] <options> -

       

      - -

      Description.

      -

      -mbfido -is the program to process fidonet mail and files. In order to run mbfido -you must first start mbtask, -this is the deamon which controls all bbs activities. To prevent that -mbfido will run more than once at the same time a lock -is placed in the protected inbound with the pid of the running -mbfido program. The gateway to and from internet is also -handled by mbfido. -

       

      - -

      Specifications.

      -

      -The recognized mail packets are type 2+ following the FSC-0039 standard with -a fallback to the old stone age packets. -Can handle messages of maximum 429467295 bytes, or less if you have less -memory available, the practical limit is about 1 Meg. Note that most mailprocessors -are only guaranteed to work to maximum 16 KBytes. -Recent experiments in the LINUX echo show that this is still true, -although most tossers seem to process mail up to 32 KBytes. -

       

      - -

      Tossing Mail.

      -

      -First make sure you have the necessary message areas in your setup. At least -you need the badmail and dupemail areas and a netmail area for each network -you participate in. If you don't create badmail and dupemail areas then -bad (unknown area etc) and dupes are lost and you cannot check the reason why. -If you don't create the netmail areas for each network, then netmail to your -system will dissapear. It is not possible to "retoss" the badmail yet after -you have created any missing echomail areas. -

      -To prevent .pkt name collision the toss of incoming mail is done in parts. -The first run is to process all uncompressed mailpackets and add mail to the -outbound. Then each compressed ARCmail archive will be uncompressed and -processed and mail will be imported and forwarded as necessary. During all -these passes all filenames are sorted by date and time, the oldest files are -processed first. -

      -The recognized mail packets are type 2+ following the FSC-0039 standard with -a fallback to the old stone age packets. The packets are checked for being -addressed to one of your own aka's and for a correct password. The -password check may be switched off in the nodes setup. After all the packet -header checks the messages will be extracted from the packet file. -

      -When messages are extracted from the packets, the date format is checked for -Year2000 bugs from other tossers. Several checks are done by ideas of Tobias -Ernst of 2:2476/418. It is also possible to run the pktdate -utility before each packet will be processed. Whatever date format us used in -the original message, mbfido will always rewrite the date -field in the right FTS-0001 format. -

      -If the message is a netmail the message is checked for DOMAIN, INTL, FMPT and -TOPT kludges so that full 4d or 5d addressing will be possible. Then a check -is done if this netmail is addressed to one of our aka's. If it's addressed to -"sysop" or "postmaster" the name is replaced with the sysop's name. If the -message is addressed to one of the names defined in the service setup, that -mail will be handled by the service manager, ie. given to areamgr, filemgr or -send further as email to your local system. -
      -Then the message is checked if it is addressed to an existing bbs user, and if -so it will be imported into the netmail area of the main zone of the bbs. -If it's not addressed to a bbs user, the message will be readdressed to the -sysop. If the message is not for one of our aka's the message will be put in the -mailqueue for further routing. -

      -If the message is a echomail message it will be checked for being a duplicate by -storing the CRC32 value of the AREA: line, message subject, origin line, -message date and msgid kludge and testing if that CRC32 value exists in the -echomail duplicate database. If there is no msgid in the message, the whole -message body will be include to complete the CRC32 dupe check. -Also the existance of the echomail area is checked and the node must be linked to that area. -If the message is not in a passthru area and is not a duplicate it -is finally imported in the message base. -After that is the message will be forwarded to downlinks -by adding the message to the mailqueue. -

       

      - -

      Adding mail to the outbound.

      -

      -Adding mail to the outbound is done in two passes. The first pass is to put all -outgoing mail into the ~/tmp directory, these files are named z.n.n.p.ext -The extension can be qqq for packed mail, nnn for normal unpacked mail, hhh for -hold unpacked mail and ccc for crash unpacked mail. Adding mail to this tmp -directory can allways be done, even if one of the nodes you are adding mail -for is having a mail session with your system. This is a safe operation.
      -In the second pass, these temp files are really added to the outbound, but -only if the destination node is not locked, ie. there is no current mailsession -with that node. If there is a mail session going, these temp files will stay in -the temp directory and are added to the outbound in a later run of -mbfido. If adding the mail to the outbound succeeds -the temporary file is removed. -

       

      - -

      Alias file.

      -

      -If the file /opt/mbse/etc/aliases exists, mbfido will try to fetch ftn-style -aliases from there. -If "from" address of a message from FidoNet matches right side -of some entry in alias file, then the Reply-To: header is created -in the RFC message with the name part taken from the left side of the -sysalis entry and domain part taken from myfqdn (below). E.g., if a -fidonet message comes from "John Smith of 1:234/567.89@fidonet" and -there is an entry in the sysalias file: -

      -"jsmith:      John.Smith@p89.f567.n234.z1.fidonet.org"
-
      -and Domain name value is "mbse.nl", then the resulting message will -contain a line: "Reply-To: jsmith@mbse.nl". -

       

      - -

      Commands.

      -

      -mbfido notify <nodes> -This command will send notify messages to all nodes in your setup which -have the notify option set to on. If you enter nodes as option you may use -wilcards, ie 2:*/* to send messages to all nodes in zone 2. If you specify -exactly one node, messages will be generated even if that node has the -notify function off. From cron you should not specify any nodes, this will -just send to all your links the information about their setup. Each node -will receive a status report for files and mail, and area list for all -file areas and mail areas to each aka a node has, and a flow report for -mail for each aka. -

      -mbfido roll -This command will only do something if a new week or month has begun. -If this is true the statistic records in several databases are updated. -You should run this command each midnight from cron to be sure that this when it is -time to do so. This command is always executed before one of the scan, toss or tic commands so -if you don't do this in cron, it will still happen. -

      -mbfido scan -Scan for new messages entered at the bbs or by other utilities. If the file -~/tmp/echomail.jam or ~/tmp/netmail.jam exists, -mbfido will only scan the messages in areas which are -pointed at in this file. This is a lot faster then a full mailscan. -If it is not present, all messagebases are scanned -to see if there is a new message. If you specify --full on the commandline a full messagebase scan is forced. -It is wise to do this sometimes, on my bbs I run this once a day. -

      -mbfido tag -The command will create tag- and areas files in the doc directory for each group of -mail and files. -

      -mbfido test -This is for testing of the mail routing. In the source "tracker.c" I have -included a list of nodes that will be tested. This is for development only, -but it might be handy for you to test your netmail routing. -

      -mbfido tic -Process incoming files accompanied with .tic control files. Several actions can -take place on the incoming file before they are imported in the BBS areas. -Options are rearchiving, replacing banners (with your add), check for DOS -viruses, running scripts for certain filename patterns, send these files to -other nodes etc. All options can be defined for each area. If as a result from -one of the actions there are new files hatched, for example after processing -a nodelist difference file which created a new nodelist, the .tic processing -will start again, until there is really nothing more to do. -

      -mbfido toss -Toss incoming fidonet netmail and or echomail. By default mail in the protected -inbound directory will be processed, uncompressed .pkt files and compressed -arcmail bundles are recognized, filename case doesn't matter. -

      -mbfido news Scan all defined newsgroups for new newsarticles. -New articles are fetched from the newsserver and stored in your messagebase and -send to your up- and downlinks. This is for use with an NNTP gateway. -

      -mbfido uucp -This will read a standard a newsbatch from stdin and gate the articles -to Fidonet and the local message base. This is for use with an UUCP gateway, this -mode should be called by uuxqt. The newsbatch may be compressed or uncompressed or -a single news article. -

      -mbnews -This is an alternative to mbfido uucp -quiet. -

       

      - -

      Options.

      -

      -mbfido [command] -nocrc -Disable CRC checking of incoming TIC files. Only use this if you know what -you are doing. -

      -mbfido scan -full -Force scanning of all message bases for new entered mail. You need this if -mail in entered with other editors then from mbse. Also, running it once a -day is adviced to catch any missed messages. -

      -mbfido news -learn -Scan the newsserver for news articles, and update the news dupes database only. -Use this switch if you start using mbfido to gate news articles for the first time. -Articles will not be gated with this switch, mbfido will just learn which articles -already exist. Normally you only need to use this switch once. -

      -mbfido [command] -nodupe -Disable checking for duplicate's. Normally you should not use this switch. -This switch doesn't work with the news command, only for echomail and tic files. -

      -mbfido [command] -quiet -Quiet mode, all output to the current tty is supressed. Use this flag if -you toss mail from a script (started by cron) after mail is received. -

      -mbfido toss -a Toss mail and allow to autocreate -new message areas. See the message area setup -how to set this up. -mbfido toss -unsecure -Toss mail without checking if the echomail is for your own system en without -checking if the sending node is connected to your system. Nodes who are -excluded from a certain echo, can stil not enter messages in that echo. -

      -mbfido [command] -unprotect -Toss from the unprotected inbound directory. The default is to toss from the -protected inbound directory. -

       

      - -

      Environment.

      -

      -In order to run the bbs you need to set one global environment variable -$MBSE_ROOT -This variable must point to the root of the bbs directoy structure. -

      -mbmail -is the Mail User Agent that should be called by your Internet mailer to deliver -mail to Fidonet systems. This program must always run as user mbse so -your mailer must be capable of doing so. The Postfix mailer I use can do that. -

      -Mail areas have fixed area numbers, just like file areas. But if you want you -can move areas. -Some offline readers don't like changing the area numbers.

If you gate -news and echomail in the same area, then select echomail -if this area is a Fidonet area, select news if this area is a Usenet news area. -

      -There is a global setup tool, if you are in the main message area setup screen then -you can choose the Global command. This will allow you to do bulk changes on areas -selected by the mail groups. Options are delete connection, add new connection, -replace connection, change connection status, change days old for purge, change -maximum messages for purge, change user security, change aka to use, change origin line, -change netmail reply board and delete message area. -
