v0.36.00 26-Dec-2002.
|
|
|
|
update:
|
|
These are the total update instructions for the upgrade from
|
|
v0.33.21 until v0.36.00. Read and perform this upgrade with
|
|
great care, this one is quite complicated.
|
|
Make sure you don't have download files with case differences
|
|
in download directories like FileName.zip and FILENAME.ZIP.
|
|
With this upgrade files with such names will be deleted!
|
|
Rename them before you upgrade!
|
|
Make sure your outbound is empty, "mbout stat" should not show
|
|
anything in the outbounds. You may delete ~/bin/mbfido before
|
|
you do this so when you deliver all pending mail no new mail
|
|
will be tossed. New mail will stay in your inbound now.
|
|
Now backup your whole bbs and download areas!
|
|
Compile the new bbs programs, do not yet install them.
|
|
Shutdown the bbs with "mbstat close". Kill the mbtask daemon.
|
|
Depending on your distribution as root you can do
|
|
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed stop", the location may vary.
|
|
Delete ~/etc/lastcall.data
|
|
Delete ~/etc/archiver.data
|
|
Delete ~/etc/virscan.data
|
|
Because the macro template files are changed and you may have
|
|
personalized them, these files are not automatic upgraded. If
|
|
you want them to be upgraded delete all files in
|
|
~/english/macro .
|
|
Now install all new binaries (su to root, make install).
|
|
Delete ~/bin/mbfido again (to prevent tossing mail).
|
|
Back as user mbse again, start mbtask by typing mbtask at the
|
|
commandline. Now you are ready to check and update the changes.
|
|
Start mbsetup, enter global configuration and exit and save.
|
|
This will set defaults for area-/filemgr logging and security.
|
|
The noderecords are updated with new security flags.
|
|
This will setup the new outbound queue path, default is
|
|
/opt/mbse/var/queue.
|
|
The filegroups, ticgroups, tic areas and message areas are
|
|
updated with default security flags.
|
|
In mbsetup enter Edit Fidonet Nodes. You might want to check
|
|
if all the session passwords are still ok. Also check all
|
|
nodes if the Pack mail flag is ok, this setting now also
|
|
affects echomail!
|
|
In nodes screen 1, enter item 2: "Outbox dir" to set a outbox
|
|
directory if you want that. This will propose a directory name,
|
|
change that if you like to for example to a system or sysop
|
|
name. Don't use spaces!
|
|
Check new settings in nodes setup, screen 6, items 9 and 10.
|
|
Item 9 does not work if the node uses BBBS and maybe others.
|
|
If the node uses Allfix or MBSE, 9 and 10 can be Yes.
|
|
Check TIC magic records (menu 10.4), all filenames tested are
|
|
now uppercase 8.3 names, adjust your filemasks.
|
|
In mbsetup enter the Edit Archiver Programs. The new values
|
|
should now be set. Do the same for Virus scanners.
|
|
This is all for mbsetup.
|
|
Run "mbfile check". This will create an error in the logfile
|
|
for each file! It will update the filenames on disk to have
|
|
both short and long filenames. Just ignore the errors but check
|
|
for real deleted files.
|
|
Now you are ready, install the binaries again so that mbfido
|
|
is present again and you can toss mail. Do this with
|
|
"mbstat set mailin", after a while all mail and files will be
|
|
tossed and you are back in bussines again.
|
|
Have fun.

MBSEBBS History.
|
|
|
|
v0.35.07 11-Dec-2002 - 26-Dec-2002
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
On FreeBSD the lsz and lrz programs are found as alternate for
|
|
lz and sz.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
For testing purposes of the ESLF (Extended St. Louis Format)
|
|
nodelist, debugging is added to show the information in the
|
|
ESLF lines. Only visible with utilities debug 's'.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
With menu 201 there is now a new optional data parameter N.
|
|
When used if a user selects a different message area, areas
|
|
with new unread mail are marked with a yellow star.
|
|
Also with menu 201 these is now options U+ and U-, which
|
|
takes the user to the next or previous Unread message area.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
The index command displays LFN names in the webpages again.
|
|
The real download still sends the 8.3 name.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Better detection of zone information in netmails when netmail
|
|
was stored in a netmail packet of a different network and the
|
|
netmail misses a lot of kludges. Better logging of processed
|
|
netmails.
|
|
If a TIC file woth lowercase 8.3 filename is received the name
|
|
is forced to uppercase 8.3.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Code cleanup in opentcp, better handling of given ports and
|
|
better logging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.35.06 13-Nov-2002 - 11-Dec-2002
|
|
|
|
templates:
|
|
The html templates are changed by Joachim Kuwan and now they
|
|
are valid html files validated at http://validator.w3.org/
|
|
This upgrade is not automatic because you might have personal
|
|
changes in the templates that I do not want to overwrite.
|
|
Another one changed is areamgr.status, that one had an error
|
|
and did display garbage for the routevia address.
|
|
They are in ~/mbsebbs-0.xx.xx/examples/templates.tar and should
|
|
go into ~/english/macro/
|
|
Some other templates are changed because they had spelling
|
|
errors, you may want to replace all templates.
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Added better support for 8.3 and long filenames by creating
|
|
symbolic links in the download directories.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Changed the LFN name mangle functions to prevent 8.3 name
|
|
collisions. Now the basepart is 4 characters followed by the
|
|
tilde char and then a 3 characters code calculated from the
|
|
16 bits crc of the original filename. Original this was base 5
|
|
followed by a tilde and 2 characters code calculated from the
|
|
checksum of the string modulo 1849. Both methods are different
|
|
then what MS does.
|
|
Added long extension to 3 char extensions for mpeg, smil, perl,
|
|
jpeg and tiff.
|
|
The unpack function doesn't complain anymore when it was
|
|
testing for the archive format on files smaller then 257 bytes.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Several user input functions don't allow comma's anymore.
|
|
Uploaded files will now also have a symbolic link to then
|
|
long filename from the real 8.3 filename.
|
|
Filesearch on filename now uses regexp to find the files.
|
|
The caller id didn't show up when the info was available.
|
|
A user with only a limit on download files or download Kb could
|
|
not download at all.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
TIC file forwarding now uses a list of qualified systems to
|
|
forward to, and with this information builds more reliable
|
|
seen-by lines.
|
|
Imported tic files with a new banner file in the archive got
|
|
the wrong filetime in the files database. The mbfile check
|
|
command would detect and correct this.
|
|
TIC files added to the bbs will now also have a long filename
|
|
symbolic link.
|
|
With TIC file attaches, the filename attached is the 8.3 name.
|
|
TIC processing completly modified to make better LFN support,
|
|
internal everything works on the 8.3 filename.
|
|
When writing ticfiles for downlinks, the To line now depends
|
|
on the new nodes setting.
|
|
When writing ticfiles for downlinks, the format of the Seenby
|
|
lines now depends on the new nodes setting.
|
|
When adding unpacked mail for a directory node, the mail
|
|
packets had the wrong filename.
|
|
Changed some logging to debug with auto create areas.
|
|
Request messages sent to the uplinks are now logged in the
|
|
manager logfile.
|
|
Removed heavy debugging on some parts of RFC message
|
|
processing.
|
|
During toss the Nopper code is called to prevent timeout when
|
|
a very large packet is tossed that takes longer then 10 mins.
|
|
When more then 1024 dupes were tossed, mbfido crashed because
|
|
a temp file wasn't closed.
|
|
The echomail dupecheck doesn't check the seconds of the message
|
|
date anymore. This will catch some rescanned dupes that modify
|
|
the seconds of the original messages.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
With filetransfer errors, the attempts counter was not
|
|
increased.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
Finished complete support for 8.3 and long filenames.
|
|
The check function now creates symbolic links in the download
|
|
areas with the 8.3 filename to the long filename so that the
|
|
files seem to exist under both names.
|
|
The delete and move functions can now use 8.3 or long
|
|
filenames as argument.
|
|
The index function now creates web pages with the uppercase
|
|
8.3 filename (including thumbnails) because webservers don't
|
|
allow downloads from symlinks and the LFN is a symlink. You
|
|
could allow your webserver to do this but this is a big
|
|
security hole.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
In filedatabase editor, if a file is deleted the name is
|
|
displayed in light blue.
|
|
Added setup switches in nodes setup, files, to toggle sending
|
|
advanced seen-by lines and the To line in ticfiles.
|
|
|
|
mbtask:
|
|
The outbound status didn't show the new error codes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.35.05 19-Oct-2002 - 13-Nov-2002.
|
|

|
returned by all programs.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Changed the section about ftp feeds.
|
|
Added Q&A about failing internet polls.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Email posted at the bbs was not signed with the signature.
|
|
Fixed the bug where the filearea number was lost. This was
|
|
caused when a user was logged off before the login procedure
|
|
was complete.
|
|
If user was displaying the whoson list and there was no
|
|
matching isdoing action then browsing will be displayed
|
|

|
|
doing field is increased to 26 characters.

mbcico:
|
|
Fixed crash with incoming YooHoo session with bad password.
|
|
Still used the phone override fields for hostname override
|
|
with internet calls if there was something filled in.

For inbound sessions if the remote is listed in some nodelist,
|
|
mbtask is updated with the sysop name and location.
|
|
|
|
mbout:
|
|
The stat command now also shows what is on hold for a node
|
|
with an directory outbound (ftp node). Status is always hold.
|
|
|
|
mbmsg:
|
|
The summary counters in the logfile are increased to 6 digits.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
When installing the default unarchivers (new installations)
|
|
the rar is used to unarchive instead of unrar when available,
|
|
rar is compiled static and prefered.
|
|
Added support for the nomarch unarchiver. Files are extracted
|
|
with the -U switch for nodelists.
|
|
Removed from Screen 1.13 the unused switches Res Future and
|
|
Repl ext. Fixed some help texts.
|
|

|
|
Now writes also ~/etc/msg.txt for MsgEd after messagebase is
|
|
updated.
|
|
When a new echomail area was created with a default group
|
|
setting, then when the group was selected setup would create
|
|
the jam basepath itself instead of using the base from the
|
|
group.
|
|
New JAM areas will not have spaces anymore in the pathnames.
|
|
Spaces are replaced by underscores.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
With ticfile processing, the KeepDate setup setting now works.
|
|
The FileMgr requests now honor the setting of the switches
|
|
Plus All, Notify, Passwd, Message, Tic on/off and Pause.
|
|
The AreaMgr reuqests now honor the setting of the switches
|
|
Plus All, Notify, Passwd and Pause.
|
|
Echomail is now also packed or not according to the packmail
|
|
switch in mbsetup.
|
|
Statistics count for exported echomail now works.
|
|
Email posted in the email box in full domain mode was refused
|
|
by SMTP servers because of bad address formatting.
|
|
Addex extra check to prevent overflow of arcmail packets
|
|
extension. This is logged with a warning when this happens.
|
|
If filenames were exhausted and the last one (ending on z) is
|
|
truncated in the outbound (has been sent already) it is erased
|
|
before the archiver is called to reuse that filename again.
|
|
When mail/files were moved to the inbound from a directory
|
|
node, this was not processed in the same session.
|
|
Moved the ^aTID kludge to the top of the exported message
|
|
after the last kludge so people won't complain anymore.
|

With local hatched files, the aka of the tic area was not added
|
|
to the seenby list.

|
|
|
|
mbinet.a:
|
|
If during a connect a newsserver refuses the connection then

|
real outbound.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Rollover now only sets IsDoing when it really does a date
|
|
rollover.
|
|
When a new tic area was created the first file received for
|
|
that area was refused.
|
|
Fixed a few problems with local UUCP created netmails.
|
|
Added routing tables for special cases. Most systems don't
|
|
need this.
|
|
The route test command now works exactly as netmails do.
|
|
Implemented directory inbound tossing and outbound queueing.
|
|
Rewrote the outbound queue system, the queue now works for
|
|
files also.
|
|
Removed debug logline with extract of FILE_ID.DIZ.
|

|
the existing filerecord is updated and not replaced.
|
|
There are people using M$ wordprocessors to create TIC files,
|
|
there is now better filtering to get that garbage out of the

|
received tic files. We will forward plain ascii of course.
|
|
Fixed the outbound queue to send to nodes not in the setup.
|
|
When mbfido stops with error 110 it doesn't remove any locks
|
|
because this error is only being used before that main lock is

|
Added test for HA archiver.
|
|
When changing a Handle, Unix names are checked as forbidden
|
|
names as well.

|
|
mailgroups defined. The area is created with the defaults
|
|
from the mailgroup.
|
|
If mbfido fails to unzip a incoming mailarchive, a second
|
|
attempt is done after a sync() and one second delay. This
|
|
seems to be a kernel flush problem.

the first aka is not the aka in the areas.
|
|
In mgr result reports, lines with connected areas do now also
|
|
display the aka to which they are connected.
|
|
The file forward function now always puts a 8.3 filename in
|
|
the outgoing ticfile. For most files nothing is changed.
|
|
AreaMgr and FileMgr netmails are now split into more netmails
|
|
when the become too large.
|
|
When a downlink requests an echomail area which is not yet
|
|
available, and there is a areas file for some uplink, the area
|
|
is automatic created and a areamgr request is sent to the
|
|
uplink to connect that area. The area is created with the
|
|
defaults from the mailgroup.
|
|

|
|
subject of the netmail messages without the path.
|
|
The tic file forward netmails now uses template forward.tic
|
|
When started a second time it doesn't destroy the lockfile
|
|
anymore.
|
|
When a converted email to news listserver message is processed
|
|
that has a header line starting with X-MS-, the headerline is
|
|
suppressed because there is no key for this header. This looks
|
|
like a new kind of M$ standard. mbnews crashed on this one.
|
|
Fixed a small problem in magic filename testing.
|
|
In rfc2ftn the Approved: header now becomes a kludge instead
|
|
of being plain passed.
|
|
Auto file area create implemented, it can use plain tagfiles
|
|
or filegate.zxx formatted files.
|

|
|
sysop's name, so he/she will get to read the responses.

|
|
files and mail groups that have the Auto Change set to Yes.
|
|
Missing areas are created, areas not present anymore are
|
|
removed if they are empty. Good for bulk areas create.
|
|
When missing areas are created, uplink requests are sent to
|
|
connect the areas.
|
|
Added more checks to processing of file_id.diz files. Also
|
|
when it is illegal formatted the already processed lines are
|
|
cleared to prevent later malformatted descriptions.
|
|
The hatch and magic processors now scan the filenames to test
|
|
using the regexp library, this should be more reliable.
|
|

|
|
Improved error reporting when file copy fails.
|
|
When a virus scanner is started, de mbtask connection timeout
|
|
is set to one hour.

The virus scanner was sometimes not executed in the right
|
|
directory with the adopt and import functions.
|
|

Keeps track of the number of mailers running.
|
|
Added default path for arealists.
|
|
Keeps track of total mailer TCP/IP sessions and will not start

|
hopefully prevent that mbcico will use too much bandwidth on
|
|
TCP/IP trafic.
|
|
Splitted no TCP settings in no IBN, no IFC and no ITN.
|
|
Improved the ping tests, better errorlogging and suppresion of
