    -

    -In order to run mbsetup 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. If it is not present, ie you run -mbsetup for the first time, a default -config.data will be created.

    MBSE BBS Setup - Global Setup

    -

    - -In this setup you can edit all global settings for MBSE BBS. All sections will -be discussed below. -

    - -

    1.1. Edit Registration Info.

    -

    -

    -System name       The name of your BBS
-Domain name       Your internet domain name (or a fake name if you have 
-                  no direct connection).
-Sysop uid         The Unix name of your Sysop account
-Sysop Fido        The Fidonet name of your Sysop account
-Location          The Location of your BBS
-QWK/Bluewave      The packet name for Offline mail downloads.
-Omed id.          Not in use
-Comment           A comment line for your BBS
-Origin line       The default origin line for echomail
-Startup uid       The default username "bbs"
-
    -

    - -

    1.2. Edit Global Filenames.

    -

    -

    -System logfile    The name of the main logfile
-Error logfile     The name of the errors logfile
-Default menu      The name of the default main menu
-Default language  The name of the default language
-Chat logfile      The name of the logfile for chatting
-Welcome logo      The name of the BBS logo ANSI file
-
    -

    - -

    1.3. Edit Global Paths

    -

    -

    -BBS Menus         The path to the default menus
-Txtfiles          The path to the default ANSI and ASCII textfiles
-Home dirs         The path to the users home directories
-Nodelists         The path to the nodelist directory
-Inbound           The unprotected fidonet inbound
-Prot inb.         The (password) protected fidonet inbound
-Outbound          The outbound for the main aka
-Bad TIC's         Where bad TIC files are saved
-TIC queue         Where TIC files for downlinks are kept
-Magic's           Where the magic filerequests are kept
-DOS path          The DOS drive and path
-Unix path         The Translated DOS path in real
-LeaveCase         Leave outbound .flo filenames as is, No forces to uppercase
-
    -The DOS path and Unix path are translated for in and outbound mail sessions, -so the outside world will be happy. The DOS path is a fake, you can put -anything you like in there, but "C:\OUT" is a good choice. Note that -the TIC queue must be somewere in the Unix path, otherwise it is -impossible to create a DOS path from the path to the TIC files in that -directory. To set this up correctly is also important if you use other mailers -as well, for example binkd, or even a DOS binkly-style mailer running from -a network. All those mailer must "see" the same file attaches in the .flo -files. If you leave the DOS path empty, no translation will be performed -and the Unix paths will be stored in the .flo files. -

    - -

    1.4. Edit BBS Configuration

    -

The lowest free diskspace found counts. Default is 10 MB. -Note, Reiserfs is not supported at this moment because I don't have access to a -system with reisefs volumes.

    1.13. Edit Fidonet mail and echomail processing.

    -

    -Note that the first 2 mailboards must also exist in the normal mail areas if -you want to see what is in them. Here they are defined for quick access of the -tosser. For the Max. systems and groups see 1.12. If you use MBSE BBS together -with a DOS based BBS (using DOSEMU or mars netware emulator), you can set the -behaviour of the outbound to 4d. addressing instead of 5d. This option may -dissapear in the future.
    -Another option is present, this is the pktdate option. This -is the full path and filename to an external program that can inspect and -correct the mail .pkt files. Originally I put this in to run pktname of Tobias -Ernst of 2:2476/418 to fix y2k problems in the incoming mail. At this time -most y2k fixes are build in, but in case you need it it's there. To make it -clear; the y2ktools written by Tobias are static compiled for Linux and they -should run on all Linux i386 versions. Until now, I still use pktdate because -it is necessary.
    - -

    -Badboard          The path and filename of the bad messages
-Dupeboard         The path and filename of the duplicate messages
-Pktdate           Full path and filename of a .pkt preprocessor
-Max pkts.         Maximum Kb. of mail packets before a new one is created.
-Max arcs.         Maximum size in Kilobytes of an arcmail file
-Keep days         How many day should we keep ARCmail on hold
-Echo dupes        Maximum number of entries in the echomail dupe database
-Reject old        Reject echomail messages older then n days
-Max msgs          Default maximum number of messages in each area
-Days old          Default number of days old to keep messages
-Max systems       Maximum number of nodes to connect to echomail
-Max groups        Maximum number of echomail groups
-4d address        Use 4d. addressing (not needed you only use MBSE BBS)
-Split at          Gently split messages after n KBytes (12..60)
-Force at          Force split of messages after n KBytes (16..63)
-

    -A note about the splitting of messages. Some tossers can't handle -messages greater than 16 KBytes, these tossers are rare these days. Most -tossers can handle messages of 32 KBytes. To set these values on the safe -side set "Split at" to 27 and "Force at" to 31. This means that a long -newfile report will be split after 27 KBytes when a new group of files -should start in the report. If it can't find that point because a large -number of files is in the group that is just being processed, the message -split will be forced right after the file that passes the 31 KBytes limit. -I use values of 1 KBytes below maximum for overhead such as SEEN-BY and -PATH lines. Values larger then 32 KBytes is not a good idea, recent tests -in May 1999 have shown that your messages will not reach all systems -if they are larger then 32 KBytes. Splitting is used for newsfiles reports -and gated news articles to Fidonet. -

    - -

    1.14. Edit Internet mail and news processing.

    -

    -Email and news is setup here. There are three possible configurations which you -can set with 1.14.11: -

    -Another word of wisdom from my side, configuration of the internet, ppp, sendmail etc. is not discussed -here, see the HOWTO's and other documentation that exists at -www.linuxdoc.org, it's all there. - -
    -POP3 node         The POP3 node to use, should be localhost
-SMTP node         The SMTP node to use, should be localhost
-NNTP node         The NNTP node to use, should be localhost
-NNTP m.r.         If the NNTP server needs the Mode Reader command
-NNTP user         The username for the NNTP server if needed
-NNTP pass         The password for the NNTP server if needed
-News dupes        The number of entries for the news dupes database.
-Email aka         The Fidonet aka to use for the fidonet.org UUCP gate
-UUCP aka          The default Fidonet UUCP gate, 2:292/875@fidonet
-Emailmode         The email mode, discussed above
-News mode         Newsfeed mode, INN, rnews or UUCP.
-Split at          Gently split newfiles reports after n KBytes (12..60)
-Force at          Force split of newfiles reports after n KBytes (16..63)
-Control ok        Allow news control messages to be gated
-No regate         Don't regate already gated messages
-
-In rnews mode the NNTP entries are replaced by:
-
-Path rnews        The full path and filename to the rnews binary.
-
-In UUCP mode the NNTP entries are replaced by:
-
-UUCP path         The full path to the uucppublic directory.
-UUCP node         The UUCP nodename of your ISP.
-

    - - -

    -

    1.15. Allfiles and Newfiles lists.

    -

    -These are the settings that affect the generation of newfiles and allfiles reports. -

    -Ftp base          The root of the public download area (.../ftp)

    - -

    1.16. Fidonet Aka's.

    -

    -Here you can enter 40 fidonet addresses. These are 5d addresses. -

    - -

    1.17. Mailer Setup.

    -

    -Note that you can't disable FTS-0001 sessions as that is a mandatory session -protocol in Fidonet. There are 40 phonenumber translations present, this is for -countries with lots of telephone operators with all kind of prefixes for -carrier select functions. -

    -Mailer logl.      The logging level for mailer sessions

-Max. MBytes       Maximum MBytes to request, 0 is unlimited
-
    - -

    1.18. FTPD Settings.

    -

    -A new program is mbftpd. This is a replacement for the normal -ftp server for Linux with special futures for MBSE BBS. This is not working -yet so don't use it. Setting it up is adviced. -

    -Base path         The ftp base directory (ie. /SYS/usr/ftp).
-Upload pth        Incoming files (ie. /SYS/usr/ftp/incoming).

-
    - -

    1.19. Edit HTML pages setup.

    -

    -Here you setup the HTML pages that can be created with the -mbfile web command. These are HTML pages of your download -areas and indexes of all areas. If there are pictures in these areas -thumbnails are created if you have the convert -command available. The document root is the same as defined in your -web server. The link to ftp must be created from that directory to -your ftp base directory.

    + +

    MBSE BBS Setup - Global Setup

    +

    + +In this setup you can edit all global settings for MBSE BBS. All sections will +be discussed below. +

    + +

    1.1. Edit Registration Info.

    +

    +

    +System name       The name of your BBS
+Domain name       Your internet domain name (or a fake name if you have 
+                  no direct connection).
+Sysop uid         The Unix name of your Sysop account
+Sysop Fido        The Fidonet name of your Sysop account
+Location          The Location of your BBS
+QWK/Bluewave      The packet name for Offline mail downloads.
+Omed id.          Not in use
+Comment           A comment line for your BBS
+Origin line       The default origin line for echomail
+Startup uid       The default username "bbs"
+
    +

    + +

    1.2. Edit Global Filenames.

    +

    +

    +System logfile    The name of the main logfile
+Error logfile     The name of the errors logfile
+Default menu      The name of the default main menu
+Default language  The name of the default language
+Chat logfile      The name of the logfile for chatting
+Welcome logo      The name of the BBS logo ANSI file
+
    +

    + +

    1.3. Edit Global Paths

    +

    +

    +BBS Menus         The path to the default menus
+Txtfiles          The path to the default ANSI and ASCII textfiles
+Home dirs         The path to the users home directories
+Nodelists         The path to the nodelist directory
+Inbound           The unprotected fidonet inbound
+Prot inb.         The (password) protected fidonet inbound
+Outbound          The outbound for the main aka
+*.msgs            A netmail directory from where *.msg mails are tossed
+                  These are *.msg files can be created by several doors. (Not in use yet)
+Bad TIC's         Where bad TIC files are saved
+TIC queue         Where TIC files for downlinks are kept
+Magic's           Where the magic filerequests are kept
+DOS path          The DOS drive and path
+Unix path         The Translated DOS path in real
+LeaveCase         Leave outbound .flo filenames as is, No forces to uppercase
+
    +The DOS path and Unix path are translated for in and outbound mail sessions, +so the outside world will be happy. The DOS path is a fake, you can put +anything you like in there, but "C:\OUT" is a good choice. Note that +the TIC queue must be somewere in the Unix path, otherwise it is +impossible to create a DOS path from the path to the TIC files in that +directory. To set this up correctly is also important if you use other mailers +as well, for example binkd, or even a DOS binkly-style mailer running from +a network. All those mailer must "see" the same file attaches in the .flo +files. If you leave the DOS path empty, no translation will be performed +and the Unix paths will be stored in the .flo files. This is the best setting +if mbsebbs is the only mailer running on your system. +

    + +

    1.4. Edit BBS Configuration

    + + +

    + +

    1.7. Next User Door.

    +

    +This is a "message to nextuser" door I found in RapidBBS. It allows a user +to write a message to the next BBS user. +

    +This is the timebank door I found in RapidBBS. It allows a user to deposit +time or download kilobytes on his bank account so when he needs it for +big downloads he can use his savings for extra large downloads. Anyway, +I haven't figured this one out completly for myself, so the meaning of all +these settings are not well explained right now. +

+Max time withdraw Maximum time to withdraw
+Max time deposit  Maximum time to deposit
+Kb. balance       Maximum Kilobytes balance
+Max Kb. withdraw  Maximum Kilobytes to withdraw

+
    +

    + +

    1.10. Sysop paging

    +

    +For sysop chat we use a program that will connect to the users tty. This is +not a nice solution because it will not work over a network, but at least +it works. +

    +Ext. chat         External chat program, not in use!
+Chat device       The device where the sysop is called (beeped)
+Call script       For future use

+

    + +

    1.11. Flag Descriptions.

    +

    +In this menu you can give the 32 users flags a meaningfull description. +

    + +

    1.12. Fileecho Processing.

    +

    +A note, when you change the number of Systems or Groups, the databases affected +will be updated automatic. +

    +Keep days         How long TIC files should be kept on hold
+Hatch pwd         The internal hatch password. Make this weird.
+Drv space         The minimal free space on your disk in kilobytes
+Systems           The maximum number of connected nodes
+Groups            The maximum number of fileecho groups
+Max. dupes        The maximum number of entries in dupe database
+Keep date         Keep original filedate
+Keep netm         Keep sent netmails
+Res future        Reset dates in the future
+Loc resp          Respond to local created filefind messages
+Repl ext          Replace filename extension with .* before filesearch
+Plus all          Allow filemgr +all command

+Tic on/off        Allow filemgr tic=on/off command
+Pause             Allow filemgr pause/resume commands
+

    + +

    1.13. Edit Fidonet mail and echomail processing.

    +

    +Note that the first 2 mailboards must also exist in the normal mail areas if +you want to see what is in them. Here they are defined for quick access of the +tosser. For the Max. systems and groups see 1.12. If you use MBSE BBS together +with a DOS based BBS (using DOSEMU or mars netware emulator), you can set the +behaviour of the outbound to 4d. addressing instead of 5d. This option may +dissapear in the future.
    +Another option is present, this is the pktdate option. This +is the full path and filename to an external program that can inspect and +correct the mail .pkt files. Originally I put this in to run pktname of Tobias +Ernst of 2:2476/418 to fix y2k problems in the incoming mail. At this time +most y2k fixes are build in, but in case you need it it's there. To make it +clear; the y2ktools written by Tobias are static compiled for Linux and they +should run on all Linux i386 versions. Until now, I still use pktdate because +it is necessary.
    + +

    +Badboard          The path and filename of the bad messages
+Dupeboard         The path and filename of the duplicate messages
+Pktdate           Full path and filename of a .pkt preprocessor
+Max pkts.         Maximum Kb. of mail packets before a new one is created.
+Max arcs.         Maximum size in Kilobytes of an arcmail file
+Keep days         How many day should we keep ARCmail on hold
+Echo dupes        Maximum number of entries in the echomail dupe database
+Reject old        Reject echomail messages older then n days
+Max msgs          Default maximum number of messages in each area
+Days old          Default number of days old to keep messages
+Max systems       Maximum number of nodes to connect to echomail
+Max groups        Maximum number of echomail groups
+4d address        Use 4d. addressing (not needed you only use MBSE BBS)
+Split at          Gently split messages after n KBytes (12..60)
+Force at          Force split of messages after n KBytes (16..63)
+

    +A note about the splitting of messages. Some tossers can't handle +messages greater than 16 KBytes, these tossers are rare these days. Most +tossers can handle messages of 32 KBytes. To set these values on the safe +side set "Split at" to 27 and "Force at" to 31. This means that a long +newfile report will be split after 27 KBytes when a new group of files +should start in the report. If it can't find that point because a large +number of files is in the group that is just being processed, the message +split will be forced right after the file that passes the 31 KBytes limit. +I use values of 1 KBytes below maximum for overhead such as SEEN-BY and +PATH lines. Values larger then 32 KBytes is not a good idea, recent tests +in May 1999 have shown that your messages will not reach all systems +if they are larger then 32 KBytes. Splitting is used for newsfiles reports +and gated news articles to Fidonet. +

    + +

    1.14. Edit Internet mail and news processing.

    +

    +Email and news is setup here. There are three possible configurations which you +can set with 1.14.11: +

    +Another word of wisdom from my side, configuration of the internet, ppp, sendmail etc. is not discussed +here, see the HOWTO's and other documentation that exists at +www.linuxdoc.org, it's all there. + +
    +POP3 node         The POP3 node to use, should be localhost
+SMTP node         The SMTP node to use, should be localhost
+NNTP node         The NNTP node to use, should be localhost
+NNTP m.r.         If the NNTP server needs the Mode Reader command
+NNTP user         The username for the NNTP server if needed
+NNTP pass         The password for the NNTP server if needed
+News dupes        The number of entries for the news dupes database.
+Email aka         The Fidonet aka to use for the fidonet.org UUCP gate
+UUCP aka          The default Fidonet UUCP gate, 2:292/875@fidonet
+Emailmode         The email mode, discussed above
+News mode         Newsfeed mode, INN, rnews or UUCP.
+Split at          Gently split newfiles reports after n KBytes (12..60)
+Force at          Force split of newfiles reports after n KBytes (16..63)
+Control ok        Allow news control messages to be gated
+No regate         Don't regate already gated messages
+
+In rnews mode the NNTP entries are replaced by:
+
+Path rnews        The full path and filename to the rnews binary.
+
+In UUCP mode the NNTP entries are replaced by:
+
+UUCP path         The full path to the uucppublic directory.
+UUCP node         The UUCP nodename of your ISP.
+

    + + +

    +

    1.15. Allfiles and Newfiles lists.

    +

    +These are the settings that affect the generation of newfiles and allfiles reports. +

    +Ftp base          The root of the public download area (.../ftp)
+New days          The number of days old files are "newfiles"
+Security          The highest security level to include files in the reports
+Groups            The number of newfile groups the newfiles database can hold
+

    + +

    1.16. Fidonet Aka's.

    +

    +Here you can enter 40 fidonet addresses. These are 5d addresses. +

    + +

    1.17. Mailer Setup.

    +

    +Note that you can't disable FTS-0001 sessions as that is a mandatory session +protocol in Fidonet. There are 40 phonenumber translations present, this is for +countries with lots of telephone operators with all kind of prefixes for +carrier select functions. +

    +Mailer logl.      The logging level for mailer sessions
+Default phone     The default phonenumber for EMSI sessions
+TCP/IP flags      The TCP/IP capability flags for TCP/IP sessions
+Default speed     The default speed for EMSI sessions

+No pickup all     Exchange mail for one aka only
+No EMSI session   Disable EMSI
+No YooHoo/2U2     Disable FTS-0006 sessions
+No Zmodem         Disable zmodem protocol
+No Zedzap         Disable zedzap protocol
+No Hydra          Disable Hydra protocol
+No TCP/IP         Disable TCP/IP protocol, set to Yes if you don't have internet.
+Phonetrans 1..40  Maximum 40 phone number translations
+Max. files        Maximum files to request, 0 is unlimited 
+Max. MBytes       Maximum MBytes to request, 0 is unlimited
+
    + +

    1.18. FTPD Settings.

    +

    +A new program is mbftpd. This is a replacement for the normal +ftp server for Linux with special futures for MBSE BBS. This is not working +yet and is not included in the distribution. Setting it up is adviced. +

    +Base path         The ftp base directory (ie. /SYS/usr/ftp).
+Upload pth        Incoming files (ie. /SYS/usr/ftp/incoming).

+
    + +

    1.19. Edit HTML pages setup.

    +

    +Here you setup the HTML pages that can be created with the +mbfile web command. These are HTML pages of your download +areas and indexes of all areas. If there are pictures in these areas +thumbnails are created if you have the convert +command available. The document root is the same as defined in your +web server. The link to ftp must be created from that directory to +your ftp base directory. To do that become root, cd to the document root +and type ln -s /var/spool/mbse/ftp files In this case the link +is called files. Note that all download areas are accesible, +there is no user authentication yet available. +

    Introduction.

    -

    -Services are special mail accounts. Netmail addressed to one of these names -will be handled according to the action that is selected. Current implemented -actions are AreaMgr, FileMgr and Email. So if you name a service -Areamgr and set the action to AreaMgr then an incoming -netmail will be directed to the Areamgr function. If you define a service -listserv and set the action to Email then -and incoming netmail will be converted to email and send to listserv -at your host.
    -If you should want to run some votemanager on your system you can -do that by creating a service votemgr with the type set to email. -You also need to setup a valid unix user votemgr so that there will be an existing -mailbox. Then with some external scripts you can process all received messages. -

    MBSE BBS Setup - virus scanners

    -

    -Once upon a time there was no DOS and no computer virusses. But since DOS was -invented as a small OS which was easily extensible, virus writers saw their -chance to easy spread their hacks. Although running a Linux system is -relative safe, most of the files that you have available on your bbs -are DOS based programs. And before you put them available for download, they -should be checked for virusses. Macro virusses are a relative new danger, -this can also hurt Unix/Linux users.

    -There are several scanners for Linux available. Default only two of them -are setup. You may consult -http://www.openantivirus.org for more scanner mentioned in a mini-FAQ -maintained by Rainer Link. -

    -NAI Virus Scan (uvscan) for Unix (Linux) made by -Network Associates, USA. -Not free for personal use. Uses the same DAT files as for Windows and DOS. -

    -AntiVir/Linux made by -H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH. -Can also be installed in sendmail or Postfix to scan incoming -and outgoing email. This may be a good idea if you run a email gateway. -This version can be registered for personal use. -

    -As soon as you have made a scanner available in the setup and you receive files -in tic areas where the scan flag is set, then these files will be checked. -As soon as one of the scanners detects a virus the received file will not be imported. -Uploads from users will be checked with the installed virus scanners as well. -
