|
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:

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)

|
|
|
|
general:

|
|
Datagram sockets are used instead of TCP stream sockets.

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.

Added a hack to try to process .tic files that are not lowercase
|
|

|
Added support for a system alias file to convert fidonet
|
|
addresses to RFC addresses.
|
|
In the mbnews function the tests for the headers Newsgroups:

|
|
|
|
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.

|
|

|
|
In golded.inc AKAMATCHECHO is no YES.
|
|
In golded.inc writing the AKAMATCH aka's other then fidonet
|
|

|
|

|
|
In the displayfile function the ^B syntax (show text above
|
|
sec. level) is now: ^B<level>^B<text to display>^B without
|
|
the < and > characters. Thanks to Harald Wuensch.
|
|
Removed (press enter to Quit) from language prompt 379 since
|
|
there is no default choice.
|
|
Adjusted a lot of strings for filenames and paths to PATH_MAX
|
|
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
|
|
is sent, most binkp implementations need this to detect EOF.
|
|
We don't log received empty frames anymore, we just drop them.
|
|
|
|
mbpasswd:
|
|
Added check that username and password may not be longer then
|
|
16 characters.
|
|
Fixed the error message on some systems about USERGROUPS_ENAB.
|
|
|
|
mbuseradd:
|
|
Error messages now go to stderr.
|
|
Increased stringslength of some internal variables to PATH_MAX.
|
|
Check all arguments that they are no longer then 80 characters.
|
|
The user is now the owner of his homedir. In this homedir a
|
|
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
|
|
were installed.
|
|
|
|
examples:
|
|
Replaced the internet menu and txtfiles with versions that work
|
|
with the current menu structure.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
they are inserted when missing.

|
A check is build in that mbsetup is started by user mbse.
|

v0.33.19 26-Oct-2001
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|

|
xinetd is updated with info for mbsebbs.
|
|
|
|
installinit.sh:
|
|
Changed to recognize the e-smith server based on RedHat.
|
|
On RedHat, Mandrake and e-smith systems the symlinks to start
|
|
and stop the bbs are now added.
|
|
Reorganized the init scripts.
|
|
|
|
libcommon.a:
|
|
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.
|
|

overflow without the previous protection.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:

|
|
doing. Also time online is correct now.
|
|
Added control-U 5, 6, 7, display users address lines 1, 2
|
|
and 3.
|
|
If a user doesn't have a .signature file in his homedir, a

|
|
signed using the .signature file.

|
|
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.

|
The virus scan after files upload tried also to use scanners
|
|
that were not available.
|
|
The upload virus file scan now also scans files that are not
|
|
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.
|

|
|
short filename in the reply.

|
|
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

|
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

|
|
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
|

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
|
|

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.

|
|
filebases.

|
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.

Removed from the distribution. Thanks to Johannes Lundberg,
|
|
2:206/149@fidonet to let us use his program until mbfile could
|
|
take over.
