v0.61.5 25-Sep-2004
general:
In SETUP.sh better xinetd.d system detection.
On Linux SETUP.sh adds user mbse to group wheel and uucp.
SETUP.sh adds disabled telnet service to inetd.conf or xinetd.
mbsetup:
In user setup, if user gets a new security level, his timelimit
is updated with your permission.
mbdiff:
Added EOF character as last character in the new created list.
v0.61.4 11-Aug-2004 - 25-Sep-2004
upgrade:
If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0
If you run a version older then 0.60.0, first upgrade to 0.60.0
(That was twice).
Don't forget to backup /opt/mbse.
Before upgrade (make install) stop the bbs with "mbstat c w".
Kill mbtask, "kill `/sbin/pidof mbtask` might work.
This is important because the files database moves to a new
location (~/var/fdb). Some other directories move too.
Now you can run "make install" and start the bbs again.
Start "mbsetup", enter 1, global setup, leave and save".
If you have BBBS uplinks and use automatic uplink requests then
change the setup of these nodes in screen 7.10.
Run "mbfile check" and then "mbfile index". This fixes the
thumbnails if supported by your system.
Update all maintenance scripts to change the semafore directory
to ~/var/sema.
libmbse.a:
The socket_connect function now sets the global nodenumber from
the reply of mbtask.
libnodelist.a:
Removed some debug logging.
libdbase.a:
The files database is moved from ~/fdb to ~/var/fdb.
Added debug logging to dbfdb to find the problem with not
cleaned magic aliases.
Fixed a problem with the files database were the temp file used
for sorting and inserting files didn't close the temp file.
Changed method of inserting new files so that old magic names
are really cleared.
mbcico:
Removed a little debug logging.
mbfido:
No help was displayed when no valid command was given.
Echomail for non-existing areas now finally is stored in the
badmail area.
Echomail received from not connected nodes is stored in the
badmail area unless the area allowes it.
Can now send (hopefully) valid uplink requests to BBBS systems.
Removed some debug logging from un_attach, made one into a
normal logmessage.
The postemail and scanemail functions are changed so that
Outlook email addresses are parsed so that we can reply via
smtp.
During scan the Msg_Read function is now called with a width
of 79 characters instead of 78. This fixes the missing address
on Origin lines of 79 characters long.
The *.msg function now uses Fgets instead of fgets to read the
message.
mbfile:
The html index now uses html named character entities on the
area names on the main index page.
With html index creation if the convert program for the
thumbnails failed, the html pages were wrong.
The thumbnails were created from the 8.3 name but the url was
created to the LFN. Depending on the settings of your apache
server you would see the thumbnails or not.
The check for wrong thumbnails changed from LFN to 8.3 names.
Changed to use the new files database location.
mbindex:
Fixed compiling pointlists where on the Boss line when there
is no last comma on the line.
mbmsg:
Fixed counter in log that should show the number of linked
messages.
With the post command a check is done to see if the input file
has a tearline and origin line, if not mbmsg will add these
lines, else the lines of the input file are used.
mbsebbs:
The exec_nosuid function for doors now also has a extra small
delay just like all other execute functions to prevent problems
on fast machines.
Added extra fflush in quickscan mail.
When calling the external editor, the fromaddress if available
is given to joe.
In Quick_Bye reset all signal handlers to prevent that die() is
called in case something goes wrong during Quick_Bye.
The fake nodenumber is now obtained from mbtask instead of a
count of tty line records so the used nodenumbers will be a lot
lower then before.
Changed Msg_Read from 78 to 79 characters.
In menu the semafore directory was scanned direct instead of
using the library functions.
mbstat:
In the wait function the semafore directory was scanned direct
instead of using the library functions.
mbnewusr:
During program exit, it tried to remove the wrong socket to
mbtask.
mbuser:
Fixed permissions.
mbtask:
Tried to call nodes during ZMH or during a Tyx window when mail
was on hold.
The comm protocol reply to the AINI command now contains a fake
node number.
The magic filenames directory is moved from ~/magic to
~/var/magic.
The semafore directory is moved from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.
When shutting down on UPS semafore "upsdown", the log was
garbled.
When shutting down on an external event and there were users
online, mbtask did not wait.
mbsetup:
Changed nodes screens to have a separate uplink managers setup
screen, and added switches for BBBS uplinks.
If the convert program is found and was not found before, the
defaults are set in menu 1.15.6.
The files database is moved from ~/fdb to ~/var/fdb.
The magic filenames directory is moved from ~/magic to
~/var/magic.
The semafore directory is moved from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.
script:
In the editor script (that calls joe) made a fix for screens
wider then 80 characters. Also fixed the joe path if it should
run in emacs mode. Added FromAddress in the header.
Changed all init and maint scripts to move the semafore
directory from ~/sema to ~/var/sema.
v0.61.3 25-Jul-2004 - 11-Aug-2004
upgrade:
To reinstall the corrected macro templates go into the examples
directory and type "make macros".
In mbsetup menu 1.7 check the new items 15, 16 and 17.
If you want to switch running doors as user instead of via sudo
then read doors.html and follow the instructions.
In the english txtfiles and menus the doors menu and screens
are updated for the newer doors setup, you might want to
upgrade or use them as examples.
general:
With the newer versions of dosemu running doors as user finally
works. To migrate you need to read doors.html.
Changed security of most directories and files to allow only
bbs users.
libmbse.a:
Removed the fdn parameter from the attach and un_attach
functions, not needed anymore.
Fixed function to return full 5d address in the outbound when
the address is in a different zone then our own zone.
libnodelist.a:
Fixed IP port override if there is a port added to a protocol.
mbfido:
Changed netmail counters in the .msg import function.
Fixed logging of 0 articles in scannews.
With the command "mbfido areas" without the -q option the user
must confirm this action.
For netmails to uplinks for areamgr/filemgr changes, the wrong
password was used.

<cr> inserted.
mbfile:
Fixed a bug where "mbfile k p i" didn't give the help screen.

we ask the user if he wants to continue.
Changed menu logging

Added defaults for questions for screenlen, newmail chack and
newfiles check.
When calling mbcico the address passed is now 5d.
mbsetup:
In menu 1.7 added 3 new items to ask new users for screenlen,
newmail check and newfiles check.
examples:
Fixed 2 spelling errors in the dutch macro templates.
Fixed another spelling error in the filemgr.help template of
all languages.
script:
Changed bbsdoor.sh, it now hase a variable pointing to the dos
directory.
Created runvirtual.sh, this replaces rundoor.sh for old systems
that run doors using the obsoleted sudo method.
Rewrote rundoor.sh for running dosemu with user privileges.
Changed all locations for dosemu so that we run in the mbse
environment with privileges of the user running the door.
lang:
Added language prompts 26 and 27.
v0.61.2 11-Jul-2004 - 25-Jul-2004
upgrade:
Check if /opt/mbse/var/msgs is empty before using this version.
Make sure that /opt/mbse/queue is empty, then close the
bbs with "mbstat close wait". Then do the upgrade.
In mbsetup menu 1.14 update the TCP/IP connection details.
In the examples directory type "make macros" to update the
macro templates. Be carefull if you have personalized versions.
general:
Added -fno-strict-aliasing switch to gcc to prevent some
warnings.
libmbse.a:
When files are attached that should "leave" after sent (not
truncated or removed) they are now prepended with the @
character instead of no character. This is compatible with
ifcico but not with other mailers, but should do no harm
because most mailers only look for the ^ and # characters.
This is for test! Please check if you run mbcico together
with other mailers. Russell??
If you only use mbcico there will be no problems.
libmsgbase.a:
Removed debug logmessage from jamPack.
mbcico:
In the binkp driver, when files were found to transmit and
didn't exist anymore, they are not added to the list of files
to sent but are marked as already transmitted so they will
be removed from the .flo file. Also, after a successfull
session .flo files with all files marked as transmitted are
removed. With nodes that were marked crash, this will prevent
continuous calling.
Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
Changed binkp IsDoing info.
mbfido:
Added code to un_attach files during tic import that are
deleted from the system by replace, or keep # magic actions,
but also for files with the same name that are replaced.

keep # - works.
replace - in test.
Removed debug logging from toberep function since all problems
are solved.
In rfc2ftn added check for ".\n" to change to " .\n" instead of
only check for ".\r\n".
Added support for *.msg files. If any are found, they are
processed and put in a netmail area. From there the mbfido scan
function is automatic called so that the message is sent out or
stays in the area if it has a local destination. File attaches
are supported.
mbout:
Changed to use direct instead of immediate mail.
mbaff:
In newfiles and filefind reports with the tty info lines, also
display TCP/IP connection details.

upgrade:
If you compiled with ./configure --enable-newsgate you may
need to erase the newsgroup names in the echomail areas you

Added user@domain login for pop3 mailboxes.
If pop3 login fails, the bbs won't hang.
If a users homedirectory doesn't exist, a correct error message
is displayed and logged.
If a user replied to a email and the system was in Own
maildomain mode, the From address was changed to the Fidonet
style address instead of Unix address.
mbsetup:
Added user@domain login for pop3 servers in screen 1.12.
Added compile directive for full newsgate to prevent newsgroup
name creation in default compiled mode.
When editing files, after leaving a file record the file range
displayed stays around the last area.
If a message area is deleted and a rulefile is present, this
rulefile is deleted too.
When a new golded.inc file is written, only fidonet records
that are active are written.
