Included common + and jamapi libraries. The jamapi is not in use yet but will be the + final message base format. + + Rewritten the mbse deamon. This deamon monitors the bbs and all the + utilities. + + Written an import util to import textfiles from the databases exported + by a little Pascal program that exports the RA databases from the DOS + bbs. + + Started writing a new setup utility. While doing this the old config + program is being stripped down. + + Renamed the filelist program to allfiles. + +v0.06 In the internal mbsed server structure added information for user + online messages. Added ADIS:2,pid,flag; set users Do Not Disturb + flag, also changed the bbs to sent that flag. + + Added Status commands to the mbsed, test for BBS open, and Zone + Mail Hour. 2 new statements in etc/mbsed.conf. The mbsebbs now + tests at startup for ZMH and BBS open. If it is closed the user is + disconnected with the reason why. + +v0.07 The new structures are ready. The bbs can run with local mail only. + + Renamed the filepack program to mbfile, it will do a lot more later. + + Removed the whoson program, the functions are in the setup program now. + + Added in the setup program the oneliner editor, protocols editor, + language setup editor, limits editor. + The oneliner editor has an import facility to import plain textfiles + to add oneliners. + + Changed structures again, lastcaller and ttyinfo. + + Removed the usered program, the users editor is in setup now. + + Fixed the download (non batching) function DownloadB, it does work + more or less. Changed the calling program from execl() to system() + to fix the stack problems. Now need testing voor carrier loss and + timeouts. + + After testing with a DOS-PC (A real fast 286 10 MHz state of the art + of the eighties, directly connected to the tty port) the Good_Bye + function needed 5 seconds extra delay to be shure all data is + send to the user. Also the parent died too fast so the mbsed server + wasn't notified when the client was logged off. + + In the bbs chat.c added unlink the /tmp/.BusyChatting file so the + chat could be more than once in a session. + + In the internal mbsed server structure added information for user + online messages. Added ADIS:2,pid,flag; set users Do Not Disturb + flag, also changed the bbs to sent that flag. + + Added Status commands to the mbsed, test for BBS open, and Zone + Mail Hour. 2 new statements in etc/mbsed.conf. The mbsebbs now + tests at startup for ZMH and BBS open. If it is closed the user is + disconnected with the reason why. + +v0.08 Added the JAM c api. This is a modified version for Linux. + + Reading JAM messages and Quickscan JAM messages implemented. Removed + support for the old message base format. The function Msg_Post() does + not work anymore, must be rewritten to support JAM. + + In the msgpack program removed all code for the old message base + format. Inluded support for client/server. + + Removed all structures of the old message base format, the only + format left is JAM. + + +v0.09 22-Mar-1998. + In Language data compiler removed output to screen for each compiled + line. When finished compiling it reports the number of language lines. + + Changed the number of lines for the line editor in Post_Msg() and + Reply_Msg() in a #define statement. In the language source it still + allways says 60 lines. + + Bugfix in mbsetup: edit message area item 7 an 8 didn't work. + + Start writing of man pages. + + Start writing mbfido, the net- echomail tosser, scanner and packer. + Succeeded tossing echomail, no dupechecking, links checking or other + checks are done. No reply linking either. + + mbsetup: Added Fidonet aka setup. + + Moved JAM I/O functions to the common directory. + + Created the mbmon program out of mbsetup. Removed those items from + mbsetup. + + Start build of the dbase library, this library will contain functions + to access the configuration datafiles for all utilities except the + mbsetup program. + +v0.10 15-Apr-1998. + Allfiles changed to make use of the common and dbase libraries. Does + logging now of activities. Removed links to src/bbs/funcs4.c + + Added fileareas and filesdatabase import to the import program. + + Corrected file area mismatches in mbsebbs and fedit. + + Mbsetup: finished global setup. Fixed pull filegroup and messagegroup. + Added edit bbs file areas. Changed format of fareas.data. + + mbfido: Added first dupechecks, only logging. Fixed errors in dbase + search routines, caused mail to be tossed in the wrong directories. + Added tossing of bad (unknown areas) and dupe mail in the bad and + dupe boards. Checks for .PKT destination implemented. Ideas for + netmail tracking written. Dupe checking seems to work, but I can't + compare it with my other tosser yet. Note after more testing: + it's better than GEcho's 1.11+ dupechecking. + + allfiles: Opens header.txt now only before processing the areas. + Added footer.txt. Both files must be in the configfiles directory, + if they are not present, nothing will be inserted. Removed all code + that constantly opened and closed the output file. Added logging for + total processing time. Added new lines to the area headers. Areas + are only written if there are downloadable files in them. Download + counter now represents bbs downloads, ftp downloads and file requests. + The last two counters are not in use yet. + +v0.11 26-Apr-1998 + mbsebbs: In the mail reader swapped From and To language fields, the + names were in the right place. Added the nodenumber after the from + name. Must be set for messagearea type (Local/Net/Echo). + + mbfido: Corrected some loglevels. + + userpack: rewritten from scratch. Deletes unix accounts as well, uses + /usr/sbin/userdel to do this, so shadow support works just fine. + This program must be run as setuid root setgid root. + + structs.h: removed flags for Unixmode and all related flags. + + mbuseradd: written. This is a setuid root setgid root version of + adduser, this program is called by newuser to create the unix account + of a bbs user. It also creates the homedirectory, the .profile file + and expires the unix account password. When a new created unix user + logs in he will be prompted for a new password. + + newuser: lots of rewriting. Added inactivity timers. Now we have + always unix accounts and fido bbs accounts. It will also die + nicely when the user did hangup on us or waited for idle timeout. + + mbsebbs: Check for unix account, if it doesn't exist the user is + forced to create a unix account. If unix login we now have a pause() + at the same place the password prompt is so the user can see the + opening screen and read it. + Removed the code that there was a parent (guarding users logon time) + and a child process (running the user). There is only one process now. + Implemented keyboard input timers. The total onlinetime must be + guarded in another way now, ie. checking must be done at prompts. + In the mean time proper idletimeout, hangup and error conditions + will log the user off in a neat way and writing into the logs about + what happened is mostly solved. + + mbsebbs and newuser: New users can only be handled by the newuser + program. Listed users only by the mbsebbs program. You need 2 accounts + without a password for this. Maybe I'll chain these 2 programs later. + + misc: compiling is a mess again, more libraries are needed, time to + close this version. + +v0.12 07-May-1998. + mbsed: Rename the logfile from "mbsed" to "mbsed.log". The mbsed + logfile is opened and closed everytime now. Logfile cleanup utils + can now safely remove the logfile, make it smaller etc. + + mbsebbs: Splitted misc.c into bye.c, pinfo.c and misc.c + + dbase library: added userrecord search. Added netmailboard search. + + mbfido: removed segmentation fault caused by a too long kludge, added + a check for the stringlength (512 bytes). Removed bugs in netmail + destination tests. Implementation of ftn netmail import into JAM area. + Only the first netmail area is used, no need for several areas now. + + mbsebbs: Added aka display when reading netmail. Changed autowrap + to line 74. + Added test for users handle when scanning new mail. + Removed test tlcap() when comparing names. The tosser should correct + the names. + Changed the MsgSelectPrompt() to default return the lastread pointer + instead of message 1. + Changed Read_a_Message() so it will return TRUE if message read was ok, + FALSE otherwise. + CheckMail() now starts searching at the users lastread pointer. It + now also keeps track of messages to the user, and gives the option + to read them. Reply is not possible yet, but posting isn't working + also. + Added a check that the receivername must exist to prevent false new + mail. + Changed UserList() to skip the empty userbase records. + Place the users timecheck functions in a separate file, made it work + again. Inserted timecheck points at several prompts. + Changed the timebank to reflect new timecheck routine's. + Moved the exitinfo functions to a separate file, several other modules + now use new functions in this file instead of internal ones. + Changed FileArea_List() to work with options (F+ and F-) for direct + area change. + Improved the fatal menu error construction. The user now sees a message + and will logoff by SIGILL. + +v0.13 24-May-1998. + mbfido: + Added a debug line to show flagfield of the original packet. + Added code to fill the message header MsgIdCRC and ReplyCRC + fields. + Added version info in the logfile. + + mbsebbs: + Corrected unixmode login problem if there where more than one + field within the gecos field of the passwd file. + Added version info in the logfile. + Changed the setting of signal handlers, removed SIGINT, added + SIGILL. + Supress display goodby screen in case of a SIGHUP. + Display ttyinfo.comment instead if ttyname in connect info. + Added create/check for subdirectories wrk and tag in the users + homedirectory, wrk is for the users homedir fileoptions, tag + is where symlinks of tagged files area placed. + Corrected message diplayed to user when logging in during zone + mail hour. + Removed menu option GlobalDownload, see new feature below. + Implemented download file tagging in menus FileList and + NewFilesScan. + Implemented download tagged files, the old download function + is gone. + Moved Change_Protocol and Set_Protocol from file.c to change.c + where they belong. Change_Protocol is now Chg_Protocol as all + other functions in change.c use the same naming convention. + Made KeywordScan and FilenameScan working without coredumps, + implemented file tagging. + Made enum vars for WhosDoingWhat. + Changed the internal filearea record number, area 1 is now 1, + not 0. This should prevent a lot of bugs. + Now setting large timeouts on the client/server guard during + filetransfers to prevent server disconnection. Changed mbsed + and common.a for that. + Added logging info when user is kicked out if the BBS is + closed. + Split file.c into file.c and filesub.c + Added menu function 111, Copy file to home directory. + Download_Home, Delete_Home, List_Home, Upload_Home now all work + with the new directory structure. Upload and Download homedir + do not count uploaded/downloaded bytes, the user gets no ratio + bonus after upload, only the up/downloads are counted. + Quota check for users home directory. The value can be set + with the mbsetup program, value is MBytes. + Removed error message if user selected a menu option where he + has no access rights for. The user now sees nothing. If you + want to give a response, use the menu system! + Reset colors to lightgray on black after logoff. + Added menu function EditTaglist. + + mbsed: + Invented two new commands, ATIM:1,n; which set a new client/ + server timeout, and ADEF:0; which resets the client/server + timeout to 600 seconds. + + common.a: + Implemented the two new client/server commands: ATIM and ADEF. + + mbsetup: + In global BBS setup, added editing Users Quota. + + import: + In FDB import, changed the filenames to lowercase. + + allfiles: + Output list now contains CR/LF at the end of each line. + + mbuseradd: + Added the line "export TERM=pcansi" to the generated .profile + in the new users home directory. This seems to work quite well + for all kinds of clients. + + + +v0.14 02-Jun-1998. + msgpack: + Renamed to mbmsg, it will do more as just packing messages. + Implemented using the msgbase.a library: Purging (Days old + and Max msgs), Packing deleted messages and Reply linking. + During pack the messages are renumbered and lastread pointers + are adjusted. + + mbsetup: + Added edit messagebase storage type. + + msgbase.a: + New library, universal message base library, must support + JAMmb, Fido *.MSG, Passthru, Usenet news and E-Mail. + This came original from LoraBBS, written by Marco Maccaferri. + I changed the sources to normal C code without objects, that + was the fastest method to mix it with the existing sources. + I dropped support for Hudson and Squish. + Only JAM is supported for a start. + The JAM module renumbers the messages while packing. + Added support for lastread pointers. + Changed all msg handling so that the messagetext must contain + all the kludges to be compatible with several message bases. + This means that the JAM module now handles the kludges in the + text, storing and retrieving it between the *.jhr files and + text. This also means that the applications don't have to + worry about kludges. + + mbsebbs: + Changed mail.c to work with the new msgbase library, dropped + the old jamapi. Scanning new messages looks slower, maybe + the speed improvement must be made in the msbase library. + Applied all changes in the messagebase library to the bbs + program. + + mbfido: + Applied all changes in the messagbase library in the tosser + module. While doing that I saw some bugs but they don't + mather anymore. + + + +v0.15 13-Jun-1998. + msgbase.a: + Implemented msgbase locking for JAM messagebase. Dropped + future support for other messagebase formats, I stick to + JAM and only JAM, it can do all we need, including mailer + netmail directory. + Implemented all possible attributes in the interface. + + dbase.a: + Removed some bugs in dbmsgs.c + Added code to update the nodes and msgs data records if they + are changed. + During msgs record loading the group record will also be + loaded if it's defined. + Added support for .tic area lookup. + + mbmsg: + Implemented msgbase locking during msgbase updates. + Added colours. + + mbfido: + Implemented msgbase locking during msgbase updates. + Implemented simple echomail forwarding in the queue. + Splitted tosspkt.c into importmsg.c echoout.c and tosspkt.c + to make the source more readable. + Started collecting SEEN-BY and ^APATH information in memory. + Started appending SEEN-BY entries during echomail forward. + Added code which should append SEEN-BY and PATH lines in + outgoing echomail. + In the startup code changed the catching/ignoring of signals. + Activated mail send and received counters in the nodes + records. + Activated echomail received counters. + Started working on .tic file processing, using my own MBFIX + code (in Turbo Pascal) as a guide. + + mbsed: + Changed the server locking in a more portable and secure way. + Added sequencer counter for generating MSGID numbers and + message packet numbers. + Removed a bug in response strings when the BBS is closed. + The signal SIGTERM is now ignored, we wait for SIGKILL only + so we keep running as long as possible. + + mbmon: + Added support for sequence numbers display. + + mbsebbs: + Removed a bug in the syntax of BBS closed messages. + Added a toggle switch to display message kludges for the sysop. + Added hilite color for quoted message lines in message read. + + mbstat: + The BBS close command doesn't need a reason anymore. + Implemented the wait function. We only wait for users online + and utilities that we want to complete their actions. Depending + on the type of init program, if it uses shutdown scripts, you + can now wait for the system to become idle before the real + system shutdown starts. + + + common.a: + Added a flag "show_log" to the Syslog function to suppress + logging to the screen. + + mbsetup: + Added support to edit .tic areas. + Started working on the creation of a site document, this is + a complete overview of the whole setup. + + +v0.16 06-Jul-1998. + + General: + This version is the first version installed on the real BBS + server, line #2. While doing this I discovered lots of errors + in the Makefiles because I installed it from scratch. I also + found out that GEcho and or RA is screwing up some JAM bases + causing this program to dump core. Did some testing, download + and mail reading is ok. + + mbsebbs: + NewfilesScan and show files listings now work with the file + upload dates instead of the real filedates. + + mbfido: + It's possible to import .tic files into the bbs. + Unknown echomail areas now log with WriteError(). + Added functions to pack mail for downlinks and put it in + the mailer outbound. + Because of small diffrences between ifcico and DOS mailers + running 2 mailers together still doesn't work for attached + files and mail. + Fixed a bug in outbound mail packets, the packed messages + didn't start with 0x0002 so downlinks didn't process the + messages. Output of echomail works now! + When processing large amounts of .tic files, the processing + stopped after about 30 files. Added 2 forgotten fclose + statements. + Added sorting functions for filenames with date/time. All + inbound processing is now sorted by date and time, oldest + files first. + + common.a: + In mbfile.c changed file_cp() to copy file attributes as well. + + userpack: + Changed commandline syntax. + + mbmsg: + Changed commandline syntax. + + mbstat: + Changed commandline syntax. + Added colors. + Does timeout after one hour waiting for the BBS to become free. + + mbsetup: + Added setup for .tic magic records. + Improved logging reason when tossing messages not for us. + + dbase.a: + Remove a bug where reading downlinks from areas base gave + nothing. (Introduced in 0.15). + + mbmon: + Corrected the screen header. + + +v0.17 30-Jul-1998 + + mbfido: + When importing files to the BBS the destination directory + is checked and created if it doesn't exist. + Improved checks when to rearchive incoming files. + Forgot to chdir back to the inbound when rearc failed. + Switching virus check off when the inbound file isn't an + compressed archive. Should check incoming *.exe (selfextracting + archives). + Keep number of files now works. + TIC forwarding to downlinks implemented. There are 2 netmails + for each forwarded file, one for the file itself and one for + the .tic file. The subjectline is to short under Unix. The + second netmail is an empty one, lets see how this works. + Added cookies. + Packing ARCmail now checks for bundles older then 5 days and + creates new bundles if found. + Added netmail pack to ARCmail. + Improved errorlogging again when tossing bad echomail. + Scan for outgoing echomail from the bbs is working. It is a + complete messagebase scan for now. + TIC forwarding again with one netmail, I faked the subject + line, all files seem to come from C:\FILES\. This seems to + give no problems with the other end of the link. + + mbmsg: + Improved debug logging. + Processing in only one area didn't work anymore. + + mbsebbs: + Made post new message work. + Now unlocking and closeing the messagebase after a crash. + Moved the lineeditor to a seperate source module. + Reply to messages is working, also from scan for new mail. + Comment to sysop now works. + Removed the Voting door. + + +v0.18 10-Aug-1998. + + general: + New record structure for fidonet networks. This makes + it possible to use the same nodelist indexes as ifmail. + Note that de define -DHAS_NDBM_H may only be set if you + have done this also in the ifmail package! This is set + in ~/src/mbfido/Makefile + + run_inout: + A shell script run from the mbse crontab (every minute) to + see if there is something to do. It scan's the protected + inbound and scan's for the ~/sema/mailout semafore. + + mbsebbs: + Creates a ~/sema/mailout semafore if mail is entered. + Added extra debug logging during newmail scan. On the live + bbs mbsebbs keeps on dumping core probably due to RA or GEcho. + Most amusing is that after crashing mbsebbs, RA will see new + netmail again, as if only mbsebbs knows how to handle the + users lastread pointers and fixes them for RA; sigh. + + mbfido: + Start working on the netmail tracker/router. It works without + an external routing file, although hosts will need one. + It works on checking known nodes, then nodelists, and then + known nodes again. This is very experimental. + + mbsetup: + Changed to the new fidonet structures. + + import: + Changed to the new fidonet structures. + + general: + Installed at 13-Aug-1998 at the BBS for testing. + + +v0.19 14-Aug-1998 + + general: + Wrote some documentation about how to setup the ftp server + so that it works together with MBSE BBS. + + mbsebbs: + After download the message "updating download counters" now + will first send a to overwrite the zmodem init string + on the users screen. + Added structures for bluewave. + Now scans for new files at logon. + Removed global variable sUserName, gave some strange results. + Added logging which msg area was active when a segmentation + fault occurs. + + script: + A new subdirectory for /bin/sh scripts. Look out with this + one, if you modify the scripts in ~/etc or ~/bin directly + they will be overwritten with each new install. + + mbuseradd: + Add each new user to /etc/ftpusers to prevent them to login + under their own name in the ftp server. + + fbgen: + Setting umask to 002. + + fileedit: + Removed, was obsolete. + + import: + Setting umask to 007. + + common.a: + mkdirs now creates directories with permission 0775. + Added dos<->unix filenames translation. + Rewrote tu() and tl() functions. + + mbfile: + Setting umask to 002. + Now checks for files on disk, but missing in the fdb. Deletes + them when found (exept some). + Now when packing the fdb records marked for deletion, also + if the file is on disk, it is deleted. + Added some commands to the todo list. + With the check command it now reports the area number to the + mbsed server, so mbmon will display how far it is. This will + also avoid timeouts on large areas. + Now handles multiple commands in one run. Pack will run + automatic if there are files deleted. + + mbfido: + Set a semafore "msglink" when the message base is modified. + Added more debug logging for files descriptions. + Implemented dos<->unix filename translation for tic file + forward. + File attaches in .flo files now are DOS filenames and .flo + files are now DOS-compatible. + If there are no more then 2 Long Description lines we asume + that there is a better single (old style) Description line. + There are uplinks that make a mess of these lines. + Netmail forwarding should work now as long as the nodes via + we must route are in our setup. + + mbsed: + Added in wait for free the mbindex and mbuser programs. + + mbindex: + Written. Heavlily based on Eugene Crosser's ifindex. + + mbsetup: + Written the menu editor and removed the old mbconfig program. + Added some editor commands to the user editor. + + mbuser: + Now leaves the records alone with the NeverDelete flag set. + + mbmsg: + Added logging when a segmentation fault occurs which was the + last message area. + + +v0.20 24-Aug-1998 + + common.a: + Moved from mbfido the modules ftn, falists, nlindex and + nodelist to this library. More programs will need it. + + mbindex: + Changed some loglevels. Removed the -force switch, compile + is always forced now. + Removed a bug to the path of the index files. + + import: + Now using dos2unix pathname translation for fileareas and + mailareas import. + + mbfido: + Changed some logging. Removed ftn, falists, nlindex and + nodelist modules, they are now in the common library. + + +v0.21 25-Aug-1998 + + mbindex: + Trashed the index files when a new nodelist in the setup + was added. (ifindex did this also). Now it will allways + force to recreate the index files. + Now sends username who started mbindex to mbsed. + + mbfido: + Imported files into bbs areas now get filemode 0644 instead + of 0660 so the ftp/www clients will really see them. + Corrected the experimental replace test, could never work. + If after trigger the compile nodelist flag there came in + another file, the flag was reset. + Now sends username who started mbfido to mbsed. + + mbsebbs: + Created a language crossreference listing. Corrected some + language numbers. + After changing the language, it is now confirmed in the + new selected language. + When the language file is missing, the error message no longer + comes from the missing language file, now it is hardcoded. + Minimum location length is now adjustable with mbsetup, + changed language prompt 74. + Replaced hardcoded messages in chat with language prompts + 59 and 60. + Changed error logging in exitinfo.c + When reading messages the more prompt is now language prompt + 61 instead of hardcoded. + Posting messages is now blocked for Noreply boards. Language + prompt 438. + In message readpanel now language prompts 211 and 212 for + Next reply: and Reply to: threads. + In message area select now using prompt 207. + In newmailscan, added prompt 218 and the Quit option. + In message status, added prompt 226. + Readpanel, added prompt 227. + Delete specific message subfunction does work now. + In display file with more, changed prompt 72. + Changed prompts in file.c and filesub.c. + The info screen is 1 character smaller, 79 characters, some + terminal programs did extra line wrapping. + Added new language file format, the datafile now includes + the keys users can press. + Moved the loading of user's preffered language more to the + begin of the login procedure. + When the user is unknown (ordinary BBS account), the newuser + programm is started. If that runs successfull (depends on the + user on-line), mbsebbs will be run again. It's probably wise + to merge these 2 programs. + + mbsetup: + Minimum location length installed in menu 1.5 + + allfiles: + Now sends username who started allfiles to mbsed. + + mbfile: + Now sends username who started mbfile to mbsed. + + mbmsg: + Now sends username who started mbmsg to mbsed. + + mbstat: + Now sends username who started mbstat to mbsed. + + mbuser: + Now sends username who started mbuser to mbsed. + Did leave the users.data file owned by root. It is now + set to the owner and group of the "mbse" account. + Added screen output for non-quiet mode. + + lang: + Changed to compile new language datafile format, including + the keys a user can press. + + newuser: + Added new language file format, the datafile now includes + the keys users can press. + Now always asks Date of Birth, this is necessary for later + checks. + At the end now engages mbsebbs. + + mbuseradd: + Now uses the created gid and uid voor changing ownership + of files and directories. + + +v0.22 06-Sep-1998 + + mbsetup: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + Added menus for offline reader. + + allfiles: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + + mbsebbs: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + Started offline reader. + + mbfile: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + Corrected creating full path/filename in pack files. + Added creating and removing symlinks for file requests. + Now deletes files during "kill" instead of only marking. + Simplified log messages. + Added commandline switch "req", this will only check the + file request symlinks. + + mbmsg: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + + fbgen: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + + newuser: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + + mbuser: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + + mbstat: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + + mbindex: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + + mbfido: + Changed logfile to one master logfile. + Added creating and deleting of symlinks for file requests. + Files removed from the filedatabase when running "keep files" + are now also removed from disk. + Removed some debug logging for netmail forwarding. It seems + to work. + Replace files now works more or less. Moved the fdb packer. + + mbindex: + Only logs crash cause if errorlevel > 0. + Removed some invisible screen output in quiet mode. Cron did + notice this. + + lang: + Renamed to mblang, also the source directory is now mblang. + The directory lang will now be used for language sources. + + +v0.23 20-Sep-1998. + + global: + Added #pragma pack(1) to ~/src/include/libs.h so that all + datafiles are now compatible over several hard and software + platforms. I needed this to implement the BlueWave Offline + Reader into the bbs. Increased the QWK tagname field to 20 + characters. + + mbsebbs: + Made menu execution logging more readable. + If a user has no archiver set, set default to ZIP at logon. + Changed logging in the Download Direct command. + Implemented first raw version of BlueWave Offline Reader. + Needs some security improvements, file requesting, filters + but it works for now. + Checking for a Unix account was done before the password was + checked, so if the password was wrong the user was asked for + a new Unix account again. + + mbfido: + For netmail import now searches the netmail area on zone:net + match. + + import: + Removed bugs when converting DOS to Unix paths which resulted + in corrupted pathnames. + + mbsetup: + Corrected linefeed problem in language doc printing. + Horizontal line drawing now with low-ASCII instead of Alternate + Character Set. + + mbmon: + Horizontal line drawing now with low-ASCII instead of Alternate + Character Set. + Corrected a color problem in View BBS Information, and added + display BBS startdate. + + +v0.24 30-Sep-1998. + + structs.h: + New fields in config.data: OLR_MaxMsgs, OLR_NewFileLimit, + OLR_MaxFreq. + New fields in mareas.data: OLR_Default, OLR_Forced. + New fields in ttys.data: honor_zmh. + Added Areafilename field to group records. + + mbsebbs: + Combined some functions from offline.c and mail.c into + msgutil.c + Messages posted with a OLR are now counted in the users record. + Closeing the bbs during Zone Mail Hour can now be set for each + individual line. + Now counting and marking the date/time when posting messages + in mareas.data. + + mbsetup: + Corrected some sitedoc problems in global setup. + Added sitedoc printing for mail setup. + Added file and mailgroups setup to the nodes setup. + Added newfiles reports setup. + Added filefind areas setup. + + mbfile: + Corrected spelling error. + + mbaff: + New program. Announce new files and FileFind (Allfix). + + mbfido: + In .tic file processing if we were a pointaddress, the path + checking always gave an error.

Needs a lot of + code cleanup but most things work for now. + Now imports the TIC area name in the filedatabase. This can + later be used for %resend requests. + The long filename field is filled with the dos filename for the + time being. + + +v0.27/b 04-Nov-1998 + + general: + Changed the top Makefile, it "forgot" the script directory. + This release adds nodelist diff processing and hatching of + new files, for example the nodelist you just created. + Switched to compiling with ndbm.h, this is now default + because the nodelist can now be opened by several programs + at the same time (for reading). Support for dbm.h will be + dropped, it gives trouble and cannot be used on a multiline + system. + Created the semafore.doc document for semafore handling. + + common.a: + Added the semafore functions. + + import: + Implemented long filenames on files database import. + + + mbfido: + Changed the way of counting FILE_ID.DIZ lines in archives. + Made macro's in tic processing case insensitive. + Implemeted automatic hatching of files. + Creates the "mbindex" semafore when new nodelists have been + put in place. + + mbuseradd: + Changed the contents of users .profile to: + . $MBSE_ROOT/etc/profile + The file $MBSE_ROOT/etc/profile contains the global startup + commands for normal bbs users. + + + mbsebbs: + Changed debug logging of DisplayFile function. + Logs the tty line comment after the username at login. + Linked with the new common/semafore functions. + + mbdiff: + New program. Nodelist diff processor. Creates the "mailin" + semafore when it created a zipped nodelist. + + mbsetup: + Added tic echo group pick in hatch and magic setup. + Removed setup of semafore path's, they are now hardcoded. + + mbcico: + A quick hack of Eugene G. Crosser's ifcico. At this time + only the logging functions using mbsed are implemented. + It needs ~/etc/mbcico.conf for configuration together with + the standard database configuration. In time, the mbcico.conf + file will not be needed anymore. For testing in this release + it does the job. + + mbaff: + Linked with the new common/semafore functions. + Creates also the msglink semafore when mail is written. + + mbindex: + Removes the "mbindex" semafore when the nodelists are + successfull compiled. During compiling it places the + "compiling" semafore. + + mbmsg: + Removes the "msglink" semafore when the messagebases are + linked. + + mbstat: + Now maintains the semafore's "bbsopen", "bbsclosed", "zmh" and + "scanout" according to semafore.doc. You must schedule + "mbstat check" in the crontan at the start op ZMH and end of + ZMH both on summer and wintertime. If you did configure the + ZMH right in UTC in $MBSE_ROOT/etc/mbsed.conf this will work + if you did setup your timezone correctly. + + + +v0.28/a 18-Nov-1998. + + general: + Modified the structs files to add a database for modems, + changed the tty database to link it with the modems, added + fields in the nodes database for the mailer, added fields + in the global config file to add setup for the mailer. + Dropped nodelist V21 flag, added V32T and VFC flags. The + U flags for modem capabilities must be implemented somehow. + + upgrade: + To upgrade, enter the global setup and leave it, say yes to + save changes. Enter the nodes setup, enter one of the nodes + record, exit and save changes. Setup the modems database. + Enter the tty ports setup, link the modems to the POTS and + ISDN lines and save it. + + common.a: + In crc added crc16ccitt functions. + In clcomm the function IsDoing(char *) now accepts formatted + parameters. + Added function SetTTY(char *). + Added debug logging of nodelist flags. + Changed the way the nodelist flags are parsed, sometimes + U flags became standard flags, and standard flags became U + flags. 'U' became a flag also. + Moved some common files from mbcico and mbfido into the + library. + + mbsetup: + Changed the lineeditor to accept the comma character. + Added modem setup, changed tty lines setup to pick a modem. + Changed nodes setup, finally added the statistics screen. + Changed fidonet setup, first zone is now called "primary zone" + + mbfido: + Added IsDoing info during date rollover. + Removed a bug causing a segmentation fault when a mail packet + had an error. + Removed check that incoming packets must come from a node in + our setup. All received mail packets are now processed. + Echomail must still come from nodes in our setup, the rest goes + to /dev/null + Moved some sources to the common library. + In forward() changed the uppercase functions for the subject + line. The original filename became uppercase also. + Corrected debug logging for packet date, the month was 0-11 in + stead of 1-12. + Added logging for ftsc product name and version. + + mbcico: + Added some EMSI extra logging. + Added more IsDoing info for mbmon. + Corrected the Makefile after testinstall on the live bbs. + Changed the order of the EMSI data to send to the remote + party to be more standard. McMail (maybe others too) didn't + recognize all options send too early. + Added EMSI logging for 'link', 'comp' and 'tranx'. + Moved some sources to the common library. + Completely rewritten the chat module. Everything received + from the modem is now logged. Because all modem responses + including echo from commands, are now logged, the aftercall + function (get modem aftercall or caller id), will go to the + logfile as well. (not tested, I have no CLIP capable modem). + Added patches from ifcico-3.0.cm.alpha-4.0 to filelist.c, + this should better handle files sent/notsent in failed + sessions. + Added counters for sent and received bytes. + Completely rewritten the scanout function. It now searches + only in the outbound directories defined in the setup. + In the fidonet networks of the setup the first defined zone + is the default zone for that domain. Other zones get a hex + extensions with zone number. + Scanning mail for the CallAll option now selects outside ZMH + only crash mail, during ZMH crash and normal mail. Logging + of selecting mail is improved. + When calling a node is failed for 30 attempts, the node will + not be called anymore. If the problem if corrected you now + must manually edit the .sts file or delete it to call that + node again. (Option for the future outbound manager). I think + that sessions errors do this after 3 attempts. + When calling a node, mbcico more ore less automatic selects + a tty with modem that matches the nodelist entries of the + node to call. ISDN is not yet supported. Also a best speed + test must set priority of ports to use. + + mbmsg: + Supressed error message if there was no semafore "msglink" + to remove. + + mbsed: + Added command SZMH, requesting Zone Mail Hour status. + Added command ATTY, setting a new tty port. + + mbdiff: + Removed some unnecessary debug log information. This program + seems to work fine now. (Wow, only needed 2 releases for + this one). + + +v0.28/b 09-Dec-1998 + + general: + Added structure for the mailer history file. + + mbaff: + Removed some debugging logmessages. + + mbsebbs: + Removed some debugging logmessages for newmail scan. + Removed some debugging logmessages from timer functions. + + mbmsg: + Added program info logline. + + mbcico: + Added monitor info during FTS-0001 sessions. + + mbout: + New program, the Outbound Manager, many ideas stolen from other + programs of the ifmail package. + + + +v0.29/a 11-Dec-1998 + + common.a: + Opening of nodelists is now logged at debug level. + Added .pol files to pktname.c + Moved attach.c from mbfido to common library. + Nodelock now tests for own locks, if so, no error is given. + + mbfido: + Worked on the uppercase bug again. It will only happen when + we must forward a file. + Moved attach.c to the common library. + + mbout: + Implemented file requests. + Implemented creating and removing of .pol files to make and + remove polls. + + mbcico: + Calls nodes when .pol file is present. + Made file requests working again, the .req files where not + added to the filelist to send. + When reading node options the NoEMSI and NoWazoo flags weren't + copied to the options. + Corrected a bug in yoohoo.c where it didn't initialize + remote->addr->name to NULL in checkhello(), this caused + a segmentation error and failing Yoohoo/2U2 sessions. Note + that this error is in ifcico as well. + Over TCP/IP with ifcico as other mailer EMSI, Yoohoo/2U2 and + FTS-0001 in- and outbound sessions are working. For other + mailers we will see if it will work in real live. + + +v0.29/b 17-Dec-1998. + + general: + Installed 0.29/alpha on the bbs. + Installed usleep() code in some utils. See usleep.doc for + details. + Changed the nodelist flag definitions to prevent conflicts + with system macro's. + + common.a: + Locking and unlocking nodes gives better error logging. It + now also checks our own pid if the lock was already made + instead of complaining. + + mbfido: + Removed some bugs in logging in magic.c + Changed FILE_ID.DIZ file checking for empty lines. + Now always marks a file announced when importing into the bbs. + Added code to prevent terminal output in quiet mode. + Added usleep() code in statistics rollover. + Added usleep() code in importmsg. (sleep each message). + Added usleep() code in LoadTic. (sleep each .tic file). + Added usleep() code in scan for mail. + Removed error message when "mailout" semafore didn't exist + in scan for mail. + + mbcico: + During outbound EMSI session we send the NRQ option flag, + requests on hold for us are not allowed when we callout. + When calling a node the first thing now is lock the node + to prevent further checking if the node is already locked. + Putstatus is logged for studying status updates. + Experimental status resetting of all nodes after successfull + session. + + mball: + Renamed from allfiles. + Now creates allfiles and newfiles reports. Honors maximum + security level to include in the lists (no flags yet). + Optional parameter -zip will create allfiles.zip and + newfiles.zip. + Installed usleep() code. + It is finished. + + mbout: + No more error message when a file attach in a .flo file is + nolonger on disk. This can happen if nodes don't poll often + enough. + + mbmsg: + Installed usleep() code. + Removed color code output when in quiet mode. + + mbaff: + Installed usleep() code. + Now marks the file announced after scanning the bbs for + uploads. + + mbfile: + Added the usleep() code. + Added some code to lower the disk i/o. + + mbstat: + Now logs status of ZMH with the "check" command. + + mbuseradd: + Added a check to see if the "shadow password suite" is + installed. It is absolutely necessary to have this. + If /etc/login.defs is present, the useradd program gets an + extra parameter "-M", to override the creating of the users + home directory. (Found on Redhat 5.1). + Added an extra check if reading the /etc/passwd file failed. + Added newline characters after some error messages. + + +v0.29/b2 24-Dec-1998 + + general: + Added modem.stripdash and ttyinfo.portspeed in structs.h + + common.a: + Changed logging functions in clcomm.c, repeated messages are + now counted and reported how many there were. A full filesystem + will hopefully not happen anymore. + Added the Nopper function, this one can be called often but + only once a minute a NOP is send to the server to prevent a + timeout disconnect. + + mbcico: + Removed some debugging logs. Added some return codes from the + tty drivers in zmodem send and receive. (removed later, it + didn't work). + Added Nopper code in file transfer protocols. + + mbout: + When creating a poll the node's status record is reset, so if + the node was undiable, it will start polling again. This will + not happen for sessions handshake errors and port errors. + + mbsetup: + In edit tty added edit portspeed. + In edit modem added edit stripdash. + + mbsed: + Corrected ZMH status response. + + mbstat: + Corrected ZMH status check. + + +v0.29/b3 28-Dec-1998. + + mbcico: + Inserted new ttyio code from the German version made by + P.

Corrected the logmessages during this situation. + + mbaff: + Updated for hardcoded paths. + + mbsed: + Forgot to close the reginfo file after the CIPM command, + eventualy the bbs stopped logging because mbsed ran out of + file descriptors. + Added the GDST command, to get the status of all (but no + more then 10) mounted filesystems. + + +v0.33/a 25-Mar-1999 + + general: + Changed the users structure for IEMSI flags. + + update: + Open in mbsetup the users database, record 1, and close it. + This will upgrade the users database with new fields. + + mbcico: + Will dispatch mbsebbs when the EMSI string is EMSI_NAK instead + of EMSI_INQ. We then assume the client is an IEMSI client. + In the tty driver changed some error messages to debug log + messages. + + mbsebbs: + Didn't flush the screenbuffer when asking the user to read new + mail so the user couldn't see the prompt. + For OLR download the maxumimum number of file requests is now + taken from the main configuration. + Added IEMSI login support. Tested with FrontDoor 2.11/sw. + Flushed a prompt after file download. + The users filetaglist is removed from disk during logoff. + Deleted Toggle Expertmode, menu 307. + Added Toggle New Mail Check, menu 313, text code ^U1. + Added Toggle New Files Check, menu 315, text code ^U2. + Added Toggle Fullscreen Editor, menu 316, text code ^U3. + Added Toggle Bulltins Read, menu 307. + + mbfido: + Added more debugging messages for netmail processing. Netmail + between a boss and point are being bounced between each other. + At least they don't dissapear anymore. + When forwarding a netmail, all original characters were + lost and messages may have become undeliverable. + + mbsetup: + Added new menu choices that were added to mbsebbs. + + +v0.33/b1 29-Mar-1999 + + general: + Added support for "pktdate" from Tobias Ernst. This is a Y2K + .pkt analyzer and fixer. It is called before each .pkt file + is processed. Indeed, he did also made a Linux version. + Added support for ISDN and TCP/IP nodelist flags. They may + be in the Userflag field or in the authorized flags field. + + mbsetup: + Added .pkt preprocessor installation to global->mail for + the pktdate program. + + mbfido: + Inserted code to call the .pkt preprocessor. + Should insert ^aVia line in forwarded netmails and exported + netmails from the local msgbase. + Will now put netmail for direct links that are not in our + setup (by the stupidity of the Sysop, including me) still in + the outbound (normal status) instead of /dev/zero. + + mbcico: + Added support for ISDN and TCP/IP nodelist flags. + Will now call TCP/IP nodes. This is experimental! It uses the + proposal of Lothar Behet (2:2446/301) of 25 Oct 1998. The + defined flags may be in the User field or authorized fields. + At this moment only the IFC protocol is supported, the ITN + support on port 60177 is under construction. + + mbout: + Added support for ISDN and TCP/IP nodes. + + +v0.33/b2 02-Apr-1999 + + general: + 2 new configuration items, user levels to allow sending of + Crashmail and File Attaches. + + update: + Set Crashmail and File Attach levels in screen 1.4 + + common.a: + Updated nodelist flags and rendundency flags according to + errflags.zc2 dated 20 Mar 1999 (from 2:2/0). I should make + an external table for this. + If a semafore already existed (or was removed), nothing will + be done anymore. When a semafore is created, fsync is called + to make sure it is on disk. + Totally rewritten the .pkt header read function, it is now + more portable and does only one disk read to do that. + + mbfido: + Commented out some debugging logmessages in magic file test. + Corrected the ^aVia lines, in one case the Sysop name was + included, in all cases the year was only 2 digits. For + debugging the milliseconds fields are now different in all 3 + functions that create Via lines. + Now creates .pkt headers in a more portable way and only needs + one disk write to do that. + Now creates message headers in a more portable way. + When creating notify messages, the correct local time is now + entered. + Created a new fidonet date parser, removed the bison parser. + When messages are exported, the fidonet date is generated from + the internal structure, so incorrect received dates are + hopefully corrected on the fly. You should not need pktdate + anymore. + Now sets the local time when a message is imported. + + mbsetup: + When creating new message areas, the security fields will not + be preset anymore. + Removed the gid and start uid values. + Added setup for CrashMail and File Attaches. + + mbsebbs: + Remove an extra close menufile in the menu processing. The + Sparc version aborted with Segfault error on this. + When a message is created, the time is now the correct + local time. + Now sets the local time when a message is received by the user. + When a netmail address is entered, the user will now see the + nodelist bbs name and is asked to verify it. + Only above CrashMail level and if the destination node is CM, + the crash option is presented. + When creating a new user, the gid is now taken from the running + process instead of the setup. + + + +v0.33/b3 06-Apr-1999. + + general: + Due to hardware problems on my bbs, I was forced to takeover + the whole bbs on MBSE BBS, RA is now retired. This means that + lots of things must be solved in a hurry from now on, there's + no way back for me. The MOBO died, it is now replaced by an + old 386/DX33, so I have to fix the parts that slowing things + down. It must be able to run good enough on that board. This + also means that only necessary things are developed from now + on to create a stable and useable version. + + msgbase.a: + The message header read function doesn't seek the whole + messagebase anymore if it needs the next header. This will + roughly triple the speed of scan for new mail. + + mbfido: + Removed check for connected uplink if .tic file was a local + hatched file, there are no uplinks for local hatched files. + Finally found the bug where the TOPT and FMPT kludge info + dissapeared from the netmails causing mail for points to bounce + back to the boss. + Added commandline switch -full to force scan to scan the whole + messagebase for outgoing mail. + If ~/tmp/scan.mail exists the area and message numbers are used + to quick export messages. + It can now attach file attaches. File attaches are not routed. + If the imported file has a magic name, this magic is added to + the file description. + + mbcico: + Will stop calling a node after 3 attempts if there are no + matching ports, or if there is a port error. + + mbsebbs: + Abort on SIGHUP is not logged as error anymore but as normal + log message "Lost Carrier". + With netmails files can now be attached if the user has a high + enough security level. Files must be in translatable DOS range. + Fixed segfault when user tried to select an non existing + filearea. + Creates ~/tmp/scan.mail for posted messages to allow quickscan. + + mbaff: + Creates ~/tmp/scan.mail for posted messages to allow quickscan. + + mbsetup: + Finally added the pull uplink in file and mail group editors. + In the tic area and echomail area editors if the group is + selected and the uplink address is set in the group, the the + first default connection for that area is the uplink. + + +v0.33/b4 13-Apr-1999 + + upgrade: + The ticarea, hatch and magic datafiles are changed in format. + Order of update is important! + 1. Compile all sources, don't install. + 2. Make backup of all .data files in ~/etc. + 3. Announce new files. + 4. Remove *.*.*.*.bill files from the ~/tmp directory. + 5. Disconnect all modems, networks and stop the cron daemon. + 6. Run mbsetup from the source directory. ~/mbb0_33b/mbsetup + 7. Menu 10.2, leave and update the database. + 8. Menu 10.3, leave and update the database. + 9. Menu 10.4, leave and update the database. + 10. If all is well, install the binaries, check mbsetup. + 11. Start cron daemon, connect modems and networks. + + common.a: + Removed errormessage when created semafore succeeded when it + opened file descriptor 0. + + mbcico: + When searching for file requests it tried to use ~/fareas.data + instead of ~/etc/fareas.data. + + mbsetup: + Changed the tic areaname field from 12 to 20 characters. + Corrected screen numbers in hatch and magic pick areas. + Setting the magic "to area" now also uses the picklist. + Does normal logging again. + + mbfido: + Doesn't import the file area name anymore in the filesdatabase. + This needs a workaround because this field is now too small. + The check for quick scanned exported messages failed for + echomail if there was more then one downlink. This forced a + complete scan to be done while everything was really ok. + The .tic file dupecheck is moved to do a little later so that + if some checks fail, the file is not in the dupe database yet. + If the destination path is not available, the file and .ticfile + are moved to the bad directory. + Reads "Fullname" field from .tic file, logging only for now. + Will now process archived tic bundles with extension .c00 where + the numbers can be any digit. (Harald again :=). + More errorchecking in Magic file procesing. + Turned some debugging logging back on. + Corrected a bug that sometimes caused a segfault during tic + processing. + Corrected a routing problem if mail was to be sent to one of + my own points, in case there where more than one point. + + mbmon: + Does normal logging again. + + mbfile: + Calls the Nopper() function now to keep the connection with + the server alive. Good for slow systems and lots of files in + one area. + Removed a small memory leak in the check function. + + mball: + Creates "00index" files in each download directory that is in + range of anonymous ftp users. These files contain the file + names and file descriptions of that directory. A new command + "index" is added. + + mbaff: + Corrected for the .tic areaname size of 20 characters. + + mbsebbs: + Fixed segfault when user was trying to select a non existing + message area. + + +v0.33/b5 26-Apr-1999 + + general: + A new set of grouprecords is created. This is for the announce + of new files, so reports can be created by subject, ie. + Windows, Erotic pictures, Utilities etc. The groupnames are + part of the bbs file areas. + + upgrade: + Set in menu 1.15 the number of newfiles groups. + Create the several newfiles groups. + Install in all bbs file areas the right newfiles groups. + Install in all newfiles reports the right newfiles groups. + + mbsetup: + Will now ask if messagebase must be created if it doesn't + exist. + Implemented the setup of newfiles groups. + Will now show the TZUTC time instead of system generated + timezone (didn't work on RH systems). + + mbcico: + Changed some logging, removed some debug logging. + + mbfido: + Corrected a errormessage when the file import failed in a + non existing area. + If the file is imported in a bbs area, and that area has a + separate Newfiles groupname, that name will be stored in the + toberep.data file for announce. + If a fdb area doesn't exist during file import, it will be + created on the fly. + Doesn't send empty netmails anymore if node has tic messages + off. Only messages with text in it are send now. + Switched .tic description lines logging on again because there + are some strange descriptions coming in. + Fixed a problem when there was only a normal description line + in the incoming tic file, the downlinks got a shortened + description line. + Doesn't strip Hi-ASCII from FILE_ID.DIZ file anymore, only + control characters. Stripping of Hi-ASCII should only be done + by file announce programs (if the moderator wants that). + + mbdiff: + Removed a lot of debug logging. + Removed unarchive functions as they are already in the common + library. + + mbindex: + Removed some debug logging. + It now deletes old nodelists from the nodelist directory exept + the most recent two lists. + + mbsebbs: + Added logging of selected file and message areas by the users. + During mailscan and filescan inserted call to Nopper(). + Wrote a new Getstr function to create Unix accounts, this + one won't accept spaces. (Thanks to Henk de Graaf, a user + who failed to login). + The username won't be converted to lowercase anymore when + his Unix account is created. + The Unix name has to be at least 3 characters. + + mbaff: + In the announce function new uploads will get the area number + as fileecho name so they will be announced by area. + + + +v0.33/b6 30-Apr-1999 + + common.a: + Execute now only logs result messages if there was an error. + + mbaff: + Added High ANSI to Low ASCII translation for echomail areas + that need it. + + mbsetup: + Added High Ascii switch in filefind setup. + Corrected menu numbering. + + mbfido: + After tossing a .pkt the result is only logged if there was + an error. + Removed 2 debug messages during netmail import. + Made logging of "Keep files" final. + Allowed hi-ascii in .tic files for the descriptions. + Build in a check for multiple "Desc" lines in .tic file, + only one is allowed. Offenders are logged, See FSC-0087. + + mbsebbs: + Quick_Bye() is now logged (if possible). + + mbdiff: + The resulting new archived nodelist will now be a lowercase + name instead of a uppercase name. + The new nodelist will be default be archived with the same + archiver as the diff file came in, if it's not available + there is now a fallback to ZIP which is always available. + + +v0.33/b7 10-May-1999 + + upgrade: + ACRmail 0.60 file naming convention is default off for + existing nodes, check their setup. + + msgbase.a: + Added a counter which keeps track of the size of the message + being written. + + common.a: + Will now create unique arcmail names for out of zone mail if + it is turned on. This should prevent creation of duplicate + arcfile names to the same node. + Corrected logging of bestaka_s function. + Doesn't create 00000000.fr0 ARCfile names anymore if our + system is the point sending to the boss. + + mbaff: + In the announce function added logging of the size of the + written message. + Inserted a checkpoint log after each announced block. + Inserted code to split messages after 13000 bytes. + + mbfido: + Removed "Packing Mail" logmessage. + Imported netmail will now allways get the Private status. + Added code to replace the archive comment, currently this + works with .zip and .rar archivers, others don't support + this. + The ^aVia line was inserted at the begin of a forwarded + message instead of at the bottom, it also had the address + of the origin system instead of our own system. + Also moved the ^aVia line in the other 2 functions to the + bottom. + + mbfile: + If during the check for missing files in a download area there + is an extra file and it is not a regular file, it wil be + ignored. This allows the use of subdirectories. + + scripts: + Added support for binkd, if it is installed in ~/bin and the + binkd.cfg is in ~/etc it will be started and stopped as the + rest of the bbs. + + mbsetup: + Added in nodes setup ARCmail 0.60 naming convention switch. + + mbcico: + When there are session errors, the status counter is now + increased with 5, so maximum 6 calls are done. (was infinite). + + +v0.33/b8 23-May-1999 + + mbfido: + Corrected Connection time log messages. + + mbcico: + Restored the original filetime functions. + Removed 2 debugging log messages. + Made the filerequest processor 3 times faster. The remote + doesn't timeout anymore during the search for files. It + must still be made faster. + + mbsetup: + Added the (hidden) option to move echomail areas. + + mbout: + Will also clear the status record of a node with the poll + command if the reason was session errors. + + mbdiff: + Changed available archiver tests, and fallback to ZIP + archiving. It is finally working. + + mbsebbs: + Corrected the reply test for new users when they had entered + their name. + Updated language number 413. + New users won't see the "new files" when they logon the first + time. (They saw all the files on the bbs). + If IEMSI login is aborted or failed, IEMSI won't be used + anymore during login. + When the offline reader packs netmail, only personal mail is + now added to the dowload packet. + + +v0.33/b9 12-Jun-1999 + + update: + Change scripts that call mbuser. + + general: + Changed startup and finish logging of all programs to use + one style. + + mbaff: + New file reports that are splitted over several messages will + now report the right report totals. + Removed some development debugging logs for splitting messages. + + mbdiff: + Removed all extra debugging logs from version beta-8. + + mbuser: + Made command syntax and helpscreen as in all other programs. + This affects the scripts. + + mbsebbs: + For the "comment to sysop" function the .quote file in the + users homedirectory will now be truncated to 0 bytes to erase + its contents. + The "mailout" semafore is now only set at the end of the user + session. + Inserted the Nopper() call in the fullscreen editor to prevent + server timeout when writing a long message. + When writing a netmail to an unknown node, the user must verify + to send the mail anyway. New language prompt 241. + If a user is short with transfertime for a download, it will + be written to the logfile. + + mbfido: + The notify function will now only include areas that are + "Active" in the reports. + Changed the ASCII filtering of reading .tic and FILE_ID.DIZ + files, High-ASCII characters are not lost anymore. + The packet password is now only checked if the originating node + is in our setup. + Before processing AreaMgr and FileMgr messages the right + noderecord is loaded again in case it was replaced. + + +v0.33/b10 19-Jun-1999 + + general: + The man pages are removed. + + mbfido: + Removed logging of file descriptions. + Changed logging of replacing archive banner. + + mbaff: + Removed logging of splitting messages. + Removed several other debugging logmessages. + + mbsebbs: + Removed some debugging logging from download functions. + Corrected a logmessage for new users, language line 66 + is now obsolete. + + mbsetup: + Included (Spacebar = toggle) message in yes/no switches. + + mbuseradd: + Removed the creation of .profile in the users home directory, + this is not necessary because the users shell is mbsebbs. + + +v0.33/b11 29-Jun-1999 + + Most fixes in this release are from Jan van de Werken who is beta- + testing v0.33/b10. + + upgrade: + In mbsetup menu 1.14 set new fields 21 and 22. + In mbsetup, enter menu 8.5, set security levels for transfer + protocols and save the database. + + general: + Added 2 global setup integers for splitting newfiles reports. + + common.a: + Removed Getstr() function. + + mbfido: + Changed AreaMgr and FileMgr message body checks, lines with + more than 1 space or tab and empty lines are skipped. + Removed debug logging for import local netmail. + + mbsetup: + Added in menu 1.14 setup for newfiles reports message split + at a gently size (after a group of files) and a forced + message size. + In nodes setup, new records now default have Advanced tic off. + In nodes setup corrected several numbering errors. + New defaults for global configuration by Jan van de Werken. + To confuse all non-Unix users, all file attaches seem to + come from our A: drive. + Corrected a lot more wrong screen numbers. + + mbaff: + Implemented gently and hard splitting newfiles reports using + the global setup. + + mbsebbs: + Rewrote all user input functions. They should beep now if + the user does something wrong. + Changed the GetPhone functions, the format is not fixed + anymore and it accepts only 0..9 + - characters. This should + work in all countries now. Minimum length is 6 characters. + Changed the language prompts 45, 47 and 48. + Language prompt 46 is not in use anymore. + Removed the logdate2 function, it wasn't used. + Added GetstrP() function (instead of Getstr() in common.a). + Change transfer protocol now checks for the proper security + level. + + scripts: + Updated most scripts, added more comments, added tests to + see if MBSE_ROOT is already set, style fixes. + + +v0.33/b12 08-Jul-1999 + + general: + Removed creation of .VERSION file from the main Makefile. + + mbfido: + The echomail areatag is forced to uppercase. + Removes stale FILE_ID.DIZ files before processing a new one. + + mbsetup: + The new fields 1.14.21 and 1.14.22 where placed at the wrong + column on the screen. + Changed the default values for gently and forced message split + to 27 and 30 KBytes. + Corrected a missing linefeed in sitedoc protocols listing. + Corrected a menu error in menu 8. + Corrected placement of menu item 1.4.11 + Some cosmetic changes in the sources. + Corrected help message in screen 7.x.23, caused mbsetup to + crash. + + mbsebbs: + The info screen now displays compile date and time. + The Area listings for file areas and message areas now break + lines at column 79 and send cr/lf at the end of the line. + Also, area numbers increased to 5 digits (was 3). + Added cr/lf to language prompt 220 in mail.c + + lang: + Shortened prompt 220 with 1 character. + + +v0.33/b13 28-Jul-1999 + + general: + Added structure for file request index. + + update: + Run "mbfile index" once. + Include "mbfile index" in the maint script. + Modify "run_inout" script to start "mbfile index -quiet" if + the semafore "reqindex" is present. + Modify "run_inout" script to replace the fixed .pkt filenames + with stdin from the mbseq program, ie: 12345678.pkt will + become `mbseq`.pkt + Set the filerequest limits in menu 1.17.22 and 1.17.23 + You may specify portspeeds above 57600 in the tty's setup. + + common.a: + Corrected a comment in pktname.c + Changed error logging in execute.c + Moved execsh() from mbcico into common library. + + mbcico: + Removed some debugging logmessages from yoohoo.c + Changed some debugging logging from 'Session' to 'EMSI'. + File request response messages now contain MSGID, PID and TZUTC + lines and request limits. + Filerequest limits implemented. + Filerequest search now uses the index file created by mbfile, + should be fast enough now. + Moved execsh() to common library. + Magic execute request result is now send by mail instead of + an ASCII textfile. + Made some changes in zmmisc.c according to ifmail-2.13, sessions + with D'Bridge 1.58 seems to work now. + Logging of "chat: read return -1" suppressed, this is most of + the time caused by modem hangup during dial and is not a real + error. + During outbound scan missing directories will be created. + A major error in callall.c prevented crash arcmail to be sent. + Rewrote all functions that created mail, less disk I/O. Also + made the .pkt headers the same as the mbfido program did. + Will now handle serial port speeds upto 4000000 baud if your + hardware can handle that. + + mbsebbs: + Finally implemented user access flags. + Removed some debug logging. + Changed "Terminated on SIGALRM" error logging to normal log + with "User inactivity timeout" message. + + mbsetup: + In edit users toggle of flagbits is now correct, no "notflags" + anymore. + Added setting of filerequest limits in menu 1.17 + Changed fieldlength for integers to 7 digits. Now you can + enter all available portspeeds in the tty setup. + + mbfile: + New command: index. This will create ~/etc/request.index + which contains a sorted index of all requestable files on + your bbs. This index is used by the mbcico request processor + to speed up the filerequest search. The "reqindex" semafore + is removed when it is finished. + + mbfido: + Creates "reqindex" semafore if there were files imported. + The check for stale FILE_ID.DIZ files was at the wrong point. + Will pack the mailqueue if the temporary .pkt file is bigger + then the maximum size of that .pkt and creates a fresh one. + + mbseq: + New program. Write a 8 character hexadecimal unique sequence + number to stdout. This can be used in shellscripts to create + unique filenames. The sequence numbers are fetched from mbsed. + + +v0.33/b14 16-Aug-1999 + + general: + This is the first public release. + + mbcico: + Revised zmodem protocol, changed timers etc. Used latest + information (Aug 1999) found at Omen Technology's ftp site. + In the openfile function added support to skip files already + present in the inbound. + Hydra and TCP protocol transmitters now send the filetime + rounded up to even seconds just like zmodem already did, so + the filetime is always the same on DOS (Fat) as on Unix + systems. + Zmodem will now skip files already present in the inbound. + Hydra will now skip files already present in the inbound. + TCPproto will now skip files already present in the inbound. + Changed EMSI debug logging, should be more clear now. + Does finish zmodem session with D'Bridge [1a] 1.58 now. + + scripts: + Added support for UPS. The UPS software should set the + semafore "upsalarm" when it's running on battery power. Most + utilities will the not run anymore to prevent data-loss. + The semafore "upsdown" should be set just before the UPS + starts the real shutdown. This will force the mbstat program + to timout after 30 seconds. + + mbstat: + The wait command will only wait for 30 seconds instead of + one hour if the semafore "upsdown" exists. + + +v0.33/g1 01-Sep-1999 + + general: + Many brave souls have downloaded and tested the previous + version. Most changes in this release are bugs found by all + these people. + Added checks in the Makefile to test the MBSE_ROOT variable, + written by Jan van.de.Werken. + Added checks in some Makefiles for root privileges for + make install. + + upgrade: + Enter mbsetup 1.1.10 and set the name to "bbs". + Check UnSecure switch in echomail areas.

This also happened when a virus was + detected. + Will now import echomail from points who are connected to + the normal nodenumber instead of the hub/host number. + Will now try to import bad netmail into a netmail directory + instead of losing it. + Changed the check for received echomail, the sending node + must be in the export list, unless the msg area UnSecure flag + is set. + Implemented the connected systems Excluded flag for echomail + connections in import/export echomail. + Implemented the connected systems Excluded flag in the AreaMgr. + The Notify function now also sends statistic reports to the + node. + Fixed a routing problem (I hope) for out of zone routed + netmail. + When scanning outbound netmail the domain field is zeroed in + the destination address to prevent garbage in the domain field. + Patches by Jan van.de.Werken, files import now set the name to + FileMgr instead of sysop's name. + AreaMgr and FileMgr generated messages now have AreaMgr or + FileMgr as "From" name instead of the sysop's name. + + mbcico: + Restored some zmodem code that was changed in beta-14. + Added some other code for error handling (Carrier lost). + Zmodem file transfers are streaming again. + Added a tty flush in the TCP/IP transmitter. + Solved the EMSI handshake problem with T-Mail mailers. + + mbsetup: + Added menu 1.1.10 to setup the name of the bbs startup + account. The default is "bbs". + Changed ImpSeenby switch in UnSecure switch in message areas + setup. + In message areas the Excluded flag is added to the systems, + you can now disable a node from an area if a moderator wants + that. + In edit users added a switch to toggle OLR Extended Message + Info in OLR download. + + mbsebbs: + Now reads the bbs startup name from the configuration instead + of using the hardcoded name "bbs" + Writes a door.sys dropfile in users homedir. The first line is + fixed to COM0 forcing doors to run in local mode. The second + line is 0, meaning 0 baud is local mode. Let's see how this + works. + Added some logging for the OLR upload function. + Now tests lowercase filenames also for reply packets created + by MultiMail. + Now includes the ^aMSGID string in BlueWave download messages. + Optional includes all other kludges in BluwWave download. + + +v0.33/g2 02-Oct-1999 + + general: + Moved the mbsed back into this archive. Included the new + installation procedure. + Moved the example files into this archive. + + upgrade: + Remove $MBSE_ROOT/bin/fbgen. + If you want to switch off CFG.dospath, be sure your outbound + is empty or mail and files will get lost!!! Thus: type + "mbout stat" and see if nothing is there before you do that. + + common.a: + Patches by JvdW, if CFG.dospath is empty then fileattaches + will contain Unix style filenames, otherwise the ataches + are translated to DOS style. + + dbase.a: + If SearchTic and SearchMsg function the area must be active + in order to be found. + + mbaff: + Removed a bug in scanning uploads function that created empty + lines in the toberep.data file. Also forced the long + description strings to be no longer then 48 characters. + + fbgen: + Finally fixed this one. Can now read multiple description + lines from files.bbs.

This is a version of this file. + + common.a: + Removed and changed nodelist lookup debug logging. + + mbuseradd: + Now check the existance of the users home directory, if it + is found then it is removed before the home directory is + created again. This fixes problems with RedHat 6.1. + + mbfido: + Global AreaMgr commands cannot disconnect message areas anymore + that are mandatory. + Removed some routing tracking debug messages. + Added check to see why not connected echomail is imported to + the netmail of the last user in the userbase. + Changed check to "Sysop of z:n/n@network" to readdress to + the sysop's real name. + After readdress a netmail to the sysop, the usersearch is now + done again. + If locking the message base during import fails, import is + aborted. + + +v0.33/g9 18-Dec-1999 + + upgrade: + If you ever used DOSEMU then do a rm -Rf .dosemu in each users + home directory. The ownership of these files are changed so + they are created again when the user runs a door for the + first time. + If you have created ttyinfo records with just digits in it + for the /dev/pty/0 type tty entries, you need to change them + to pty/0 type entries. The example etc files are now containing + these entries. + + general: + All sources recompiled with memwatch. I will not name all + places where I found memory leaks, it was a lot.

If you + change it, do a "make clean" before recompiling the sources. + Changed my Fidonet address, the testsystem is listed now and + removed my old e-mail address which was not valid anymore. + Changed the installation script. + For RedHat 6.1 and newer a different /etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed + file is created then before because the su command behaves + different. The install script will try to detect this. + Thanks to Juergen Heisel for finding this problem. + Changed more startup and shutdown scripts. + Changed language prompts 306, 311 and 324 to reflect + GigaBytes storage instead of MegaBytes. + Changed language prompt 327, it had a space too many at the + end. + + common.a: + In the attach function implemented the global leavecase + switch to be able to turn off the forced uppercase for + file attaches when dos translation is on. + + mbfido: + Found a bug where mbfido ran out of file descriptors during + toss, only about 1012 messages were tossed and then the whole + thing started tossing everything to bad. Jim Hansen who + reported the problem, reported that tossing 37500 messages + now works fine. + Added the commandline switch -unsecure to be able to run an + unsecure toss, ie. no originating checks are performed. + Handle with care. + Forwarded netmail packets got the wrong from address in the + .pkt header. + Added fsync calls after every write to a message packet. + When writing .tic files to other nodes now the real aka of + the tic area is used in the From address instead of bestaka + match of the destination. + All system aka's in the same zone are now added to the .tic + Seenby lines. + Will now gently stop processing if the upsdown semafore is + detected. + Added a check with file import that there are no more then + 25 description lines. + + mbsebbs: + Added new controlcode, ^KM displays the users lastread pointer + in the current message area. + When reading new mail at logon, the users lastread pointers + are not updated anymore in echomail/news areas to prevent that + the users skips unread messages. + Only if a message area is Public/Private and a reply is given + the user gets the question Private y/N. On other cases the + flag is automatic set. + With netmail reply if enough security level a file may be + attached. + The door.sys dropfile date formats are now fixed. Depending + on the menu settings it can be original (pre 2000) format or + have four digit year numbers, the new style. Writing the + dropfile can also be suppressed. + Removed the setuid calls before and after running a door, + mbsebbs now always runs as user "mbse". + The $HOME environment variable is now forced to the users + real home directory, even if mbsebbs is started as user bbs. + When the user logs in, the existance of the subdirecties + .dosemu/run and .dosemu/tmp are created in the users home + directory if they don't exist. DOSEMU is happy with that. + Because of this, all files in the users directories are now + only owned by user mbse. + Moved the setup of last message and file area to a later + startup point in userlogin. + Autoexecuted menus are now also checked for user security + and user age. + Fixed the screen output of several bbs list menus. + Now handles the /dev/pty/0 device names found on newer + Linux distributions. + It will now also create the necesary subdirectories for the + /dev/pty/n devices. + + mbaff: + The written messages statistics counters always counted at + sunday in januari. + + mbmsg: + Added message post from a file function. + + mbsetup: + With the filebase editor I got segmentation faults on a Sun + Sparc machine, changed the filedate calls.

(still needs work) + Reduced amount of debug logging messages in editor. + + mbuseradd: + Ported to work on FreeBSD. + + mbpasswd: + Ported to work on FreeBSD. + + mbfile: + All path string variables are now of length PATH_MAX. + Added list file areas. + + fbutil: + Removed list file areas. + + htmldoc: + Upgraded the FTSC documents to the current state. + + +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. + The sourcetree has now a new subdirectory called unix. Here + are all the system specific programs such as mbpasswd, + mblogin and mbuseradd. + Started NetBSD port, is in testing fase. + Added support for xinetd. + Fixed filemodes for some directories and data files. + + SETUP.sh: + Better grep to check for existing usernames like bbs, mbse. + Ported to NetBSD. + Added support for xinetd configuration. + Changed distribution test for Mandrake. + Changed to recognize the e-smith server based on RedHat. + If system runs xinetd instead of inetd, the configuration for + 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. + Fixes for Sparc systems. + The nodelist information now also holds the Txx flags. + The mkdirs function now needs a mode parameter for directory + creation. + The filesystem space check is now reliable on FreeBSD and + NetBSD. + + lang: + Changed language prompts 6, 71, 429. + Added language prompts 472 and 473 for FS editor. + Added language prompts 474, 475 and 476 for address entry. + Added language prompts 477 and 478 for post with user alias. + Deleted language prompts 387, 388, 389, 390 + + examples: + Changed menu setup.mnu and textfiles setup.* to show the new + setup entries for the users. + + mbsetup: + Changed usereditor, new layout, added new settings and + changed password reset function. The system password is + now also updated. + Added setup item for menus 317 and 318. + Changed the order of menu 1, global settings. The screens are + now in a more logical order for a first system setup. + Most datafiles are now saved mode 0640 exept the files that + need to be rewritten by users, they have mode 0660. + The filemodes are always checked and corrected during startup. + In the file database editor the default choice was 0 in stead + of -. + When a file area is made unavailable in menu 8.4, first the + files in that area area checked. If there are none, the area + is completly removed, including paths, indexes and database. + When an new area is made available, the database is created. + The AREADEF lines in golded.inc now contain the aka to use + instead of a dot. + Fixes for Sparc systems. + Now logs in the normal system logfile. + On new systems it will now also create one filearea, three + default mail areas, a newfilereport and the groups belonging + to these areas.

This has no effect on the editor for now. + Added menu 318, change users address. + Added control-U 4, ON/OFF for FS edit Emacs shortcut keys. + Now updates the lastcaller information when a call is finished + and now also sets all the action bits what the user has been + 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 + simple one will be created. + If a user saves a new message at the bbs, the message will be + signed using the .signature file. + Patches from Bobby Cabral: + - Fixed display file with more that stopped after every line. + - Added display file "mainlogo" before the "welcome" file. + - Added display files "welcome2..9" after "welcome1" file. + Posting message with users alias is now possible. + If in menu entries "Display prompt" the fore and background + 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. + QuickScan messages in netmail areas now only shows personal + messages. + The whoson list now uses mbtask to get the information. + The users exitinfo file is now stored in his homedirectory + with mode 0600. + A lot of code rewrites to make it more modular. + The bbs datafiles that users create now have mode 0660. + The file taglists now work internally with long and short + filenames. + The file listings are displayed with the short filenames. + Download files are sent with short filenames. + File search is done on long and short filenames. + Uploaded files are accepted with long filenames, the short + name is created when the upload is processed. + 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. + System calls for archivers and virus scanners are replaced + with execute. + During startup the username is tried from the environment + variables LOGNAME and USER. + Added some automatic file permission corrections. + + mbnewusr: + New program, run by user bbs. This is only to register a new + bbs user. Should be started by the bbs account. + Ask Date of Birth now only is asked if set in configuration. + Fixes for Sparc systems. + + mbpasswd: + Added more checks to see if it's legal invoked. + Password change on FreeBSD finally works. + Moved to new sourcetree. + Ported to NetBSD. + + mblogin: + New program. Replaces standard login, allows Fidonet style + usernames. Has it's own login.defs file. + + mbcico: + Undefined IEMSI support since mbsebbs doesn't support it + anymore. + Filerequest responses are now created with long filenames. + When sending files, if the remote has the FNC link flag, the + filename is mangled to DOS 8.3 format when transmitted. + File request response messages now display the long and + short filename in the reply. + Filerequest response messages now have a random quote added. + The binkp driver now sends 8.3 mangled filenames if that + option is set for the remote node in the setup. + The hydra driver now sends 8.3 mangled filenames and long + filenames as specified in the specs. + Corrected the location of the modem lockfile on FreeBSD. + Fixes for Sparc systems. + When a session fails, the node status retry time is current + time + random dial delay time.

Fixed some potential Sparc problems. + On new systems, all paths for MBSE are now created in the + /opt/mbse root. + When scanning outbound, flags are set if flo or mail pkt files + are present. + When the internet connection status changes, the outbound is + rescanned. + Implemented Txx nodelist flags, FSC-0062. + Added code to see which nodes could be called depending on + outbound status, nodelist flags etc. Experimental. + Added code to do outbound calling, experimental. Calling + systems in parallel is now possible. + 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 + that I know how to really get the mounted filesystems. + The system load value is implemented on FreeBSD and NetBSD. + + mbmon: + Changed the lastcaller screen to display the External Door + information. + When lastcaller info is scrolling, the lines are first proper + erased. + Fixes for Sparc systems. + Added support for display do_inet semafore in menu 2. + + mbmsg: + Corrected header in logfile for pack function. + Fixes for Sparc systems. + + import: + Removed users import, could not work anymore. + + mbfido: + When running in mbmail mode, it will try to get the lock on + 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 + netmail. + Reset the KillSent and Hold flags when storing netmail in the + message base. + The tic file import function now sorts and tests on long file- + names, with the new mangle function an DOS 8.3 filename is + 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 + rescan option. + Implemented long filenames with hatch. Now uses ticfile key- + word Fullname for the long filename. + Fixes for Sparc systems. + File forwarding now really depends on the downlink billing + flag. + Now limits fetching of newsheaders according to area setting. + Added the Size parameter to the tic files, this appeared to + be missing since a while. + Fixes for Fido->internet gate for dropped characters during + linewrap. Experimental. + Added netmail bounce function. + Protected the postemail function from posting to local FTN + 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.
