<H3>Description.</H3>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<strong>mbfbgen</strong> is used to import filebase areas from CD-ROM. This
|
||||
util works like <strong>fbgen</strong> which is known to RA users. It reads
|
||||
the file <strong>files.bbs</strong> to get the filenames and descriptions
|
||||
to build the filedatabase.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
To import a filebase you must setup the area with <strong>mbsetup</strong>.
|
||||
If you are really importing from a CD that will stay mounted on your system
|
||||
you must set <strong>CDrom</strong> 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 <strong>Files.bbs</strong> 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 <strong>mbfbgen</strong>, 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 <strong>mbfbgen</strong> is
|
||||
finished, run <strong>mbfile index</strong> to recreate the filerequest index
|
||||
file.
|
||||
<P> <P>
|
||||
|
||||
<H3>Environmet.</H3>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
In order to run <strong>fbgen</strong> you must set the global variable
|
||||
<strong>$MBSE_ROOT</strong>. This variable must point to the root directory
|
||||
of the bbs structure. The main configuration file <strong>config.data</strong>
|
||||
must be present in the ~/etc directory.

<strong>mbmail</strong>
|
||||
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 <strong>mbse</strong> so
|
||||
your mailer must be capable of doing so. The Postfix mailer I use can do that.

<code><strong>mbfile</strong> -r<addr> -g<grade> -c<charset> -b <recip></code>
|
||||
The -r<addr> is the address to route the packet to. This should normal be set by
|
||||
the Internet mailer to one of your aka's. The -g<grade> is the packet flavor. This
|
||||
can be one of the characters n, c or h which means normal, crash or hold. The -c<charset> will
|
||||
force a certain characterset. Normally this will be automatic set. The -b switch disables splitting
|
||||
of long messages. The <recip> are one or more recipients for the message. The message itself is
|
||||
read from stdin.
