MBSE BBS V0.83.21 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.
|
|
X = Will not be done unless it's really needed.
|
|
|
|
everything:
|
|
U: For changed su versions, use 'who am i' to check if we are mbse
|
|
su to root.
|
|
|
|
W: Implement IPv6.
|
|
|
|
N: In BSO the i flavor should have been d flavor.
|
|
|
|
N: Increase size of Unix usernames > 8. The limit on Slackware is 32
|
|
characters, defined in utmp.h in UT_NAMESIZE
|
|
|
|
L: 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.
|
|
|
|
install:
|
|
L: On some (unsupported) distro's with xinetd the installation script
|
|
also adds entries to inetd.conf. Is this still a problem?
|
|
|
|
N: In latest Gentoo distro's with make install the LOGNAME variable is
|
|
changed to root. It seems that 'who am i' gives the right username.
|
|
Rewrite the checks to make the install script work again on these
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
W: OLR, implement file requests.
|
|
|
|
N: Only count posted messages in local mail areas.
|
|
|
|
X: OLR: include private email area in download packets. See also global
|
|
wish for private mail areas.
|
|
|
|
X: OLR: implement some global settings from the offline configuration.
|
|
|
|
X: OLR: check qwke extensions.
|
|
|
|
N: OLR: qwk, check netmail entered from reader, fido address missing?
|
|
|
|
N: Translate characterset of messages to the users preferred
|
|
characterset. This is partly done for testing.
|
|
|
|
N: Joe 3.3 doesn't work with mbsebbs, some locking problem.
|
|
|
|
N: Implement kermit protocol, external versions don't work right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
W: Add macro's for stats of all months.
|
|
|
|
W: Implement file requests for directory nodes.
|
|
|
|
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: After readalias we need to free the alias list when mbfido ends.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
L: 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.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
N: Empty lines in files.bbs stops import.
|
|
|
|
mbaff:
|
|
W: Rewrite filefind search algorithm.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
N: Add a check for double areatag names.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
configure:
|
|
N: Add a test for FreeBSD to see if the sysctl function supports mib
|
|
defines KERN_PROC_ARGS and KERN_PROC_ARGV. If not, fallback to
|
|
/proc tests. Try adding a check for a mounted /proc filesystem.
|
|
We need these tests to secure mbpasswd and mbuseradd.
|
|
According to Google, FreeBSD switched to sysctl from 5.0. The
|
|
KERN_PROC_ARGV seems still not present so this is not compatible
|
|
with OpenBSD and NetBSD. OpenBSD and NetBSD are different too.
