MBSEBBS History in 2001.
v0.33.16 07-Jan-2001
upgrade:
Edit the crontab to comment out the lines with run_inout,
mailer and mbstat check.
Compile the sources.
Stop the bbs, kill mbsed.
Install the new binaries.
Start the bbs as root with the new init script. It will be
in some init.d subdirectory depending on your distribution.
If you can't find it, reboot.
If you want to start using the newsgate, run mbfido news -learn
the first time to learn which articles there are.
Edit menu item 1.14.3 and check that it's empty if you don't
use it.
CRON.sh:
Removed the lines that ware replaced by the mbtask program.
SETUP.sh
Changed binkd into binkp because binkp is the official protocol
name.
Corrected a problem installing on a system without shadow
passwords.
Removed the part where the init scripts are installed. They
are now in a new script in the script directory.
clcomm.a:
New function Syslogp, to log unformatted strings, the normal
formatted string logfunction did hang sometimes when logging
strings containing the % character.
Improved some error messages in the NNTP and SMTP connections.
common.a:
Protected uniq_list and sort_list against NULL pointers.
Handles the error strings now if there is a $ at the start
of an logstring. This was only in the daemon but that didn't
give the right errorstrings. Nobody noticed this error has
been here from the beginning.
Protected the chkftnmsgid function from NULL input.
libdbase.a:
Dupe checking databases are now loaded in memory when needed
and written to disk only once when ready.
general:
Two new global switches, don't regate and allow control
messages.
Changed the maptab cp437__iso-8859-1 to translate 8bits dos
graphics to 7bits characters to make all fancy dos like
textboxes more readable on Unix systems.
New setup parameters for UUCP newsfeeds.
Added support for the PPC cpu.
mbtask:
New daemon. Takes over the functions of the run_inout and
mailer scripts. This program launches every program needed
to run the bbs. It will also check Zone Mail Hour.
mbsed:
Corrected a spelling error in the program header.
Made the userlog full transparant.
Fixed a memory leak in the userlog function.
Changed file locking of mbsed status files to use fcntl()
instead of placing lockfiles.
mbfido:
Protected the rfcmsgid function against NULL input.
Build some protection against too long lines in ftn messages
that were gated from rfc and regated to news.
Removed a lot of #ifdef statements for gating behaviour and
made a lot of code permamenent.
Original code for #ifdef ALLOW_CONTROL and DONT_REGATE is now
under control of configuration settings.
Forwarded files had an old copyright message in the tic files.
When sending messages to the SNMP or NNTP servers a line with
only a dot in it will be sent as a space and a dot to prevent
that the server thinks it's the end of the message.
When sending or forwarding messages to a destination with a
routevia address, the arcmail will be packed with the flavor
of the new destination node.
Magic execute uses the exec call now instead of the system
call, the programs to execute must now be in MBSE_ROOT/bin or
it will fail.
If a MSGID is missing the dupecheck includes the message text
in the dupecheck. (Redy).
Local posted echomail gated to news has now the right From:
address format and the right UTC time.
Imported news messages had an AREA: line in the message text.
Gating news to echomail doesn't crash anymore. Fixed several
bugs to make this finally work.
During gating news to echomail the mbmon program now displays
what is going on.
Added usleep code during news scanning.
The program is now installed setuid mbse and setgid bbs. This
allows it to be called by other users as mbse.
New commandline, uucp. This allows mbfido to process incoming
uucp newsbatches. Call it from uucp by:
cat newsbatch | /opt/mbse/bin/mbfido uucp -quiet or
cat newsbatch | /opt/mbse/bin/mbnews
It will handle compressed and uncompressed newsbatches.
If a scanned netmail should be send via your own UUCP gate, the
message will be handled further by the ExportEmail function.
All other UUCP destinations will be send via the remote UUCP
systems.
News articles that need to be send via NNTP are now first stored
in a temporary file. At the end of the mbfido run it will try
to post these articles. If it fails (newsserver down), the temp
file stays for a later try.
Added newsserver options for submitting articles via rnews and
to an UUCP remote host.
Added alias database again that was in the original ifmail.
Made a universal email post function.
Removed sourcefiles addos.*, they were not used.
If in configuration the root for the html pages is blank, then
no html pages will be created.
Netmail send to "ping" are bounced back to the sender if your
system is the final destination. If such a netmail is passing
thrue, the receiver is notified (trace). All ^aVia lines are
added to the replies. Systems running MBSE 0.33.16 and up may
now add the PING flag to the nodelist.
mbmail:
If there is no Organization header, the BBS default origin
line will be used.
Removed a lot of #ifdef statements for gating behaviour and
made a lot of code permamenent.
Original code for #ifdef ALLOW_CONTROL and DONT_REGATE is
now under control of configuration settings.
The packet routing is now determined using the mail tracker.
The point of splitting large messages is now set at the point
from the setup instead of hardcoded at 12 Kbytes.
The program is now installed setuid mbse and setgid bbs so that
braindead MTA's can still deliver mail to the Fidonet.
Mail for users at your own bbs is now imported into the netmail
board.
Added REPLYTO: REPLYADDR: and MSGID: kludges if these where
not yet present in the message.
Added alias database again that was in the original ifmail.
mbsetup:
In menu 1.13 added allow control and don't regate setup.
In all menus the default prompt selection is now "-" instead
of "0", so just pressing enter will leave from a menu.
When editing a new message area the area is automatic made
active when you assign a group to the area.
Most databases now create default records the first time.
The sitedoc pages for the tty lines were to big for each
printed page.
Splitted menu 1.13 in a Fidonet and Internet part, added setup
parameters for UUCP newsfeeds.
In the services setup the UUCP/Email entry is now added for
first time installations.
mbmon:
In all menus the default prompt selection is now "-" instead
of "0", so just pressing enter will leave from a menu.
mbout:
Fixed the helpscreen.
mbstat:
Removed the check command, this is now done by the mbtask
daemon.
mbcico:
Doesn't use tmpnam anymore during execute magic request.
The openfile function doesn't use tempnam anymore if a filename
is created after 62 name bumps.
When searching for a matching aka and your first aka is
disabled the first active aka is used as default.
The closefile function doesn't use the tempnam function anymore.
mbsebbs:
When posting news articles when not permament connected to the
internet, the From address will be Fido style.
Messages for offline packets are now packed using the
following tests:
- If area is netmail then only personal messages are
included (unchanged).
- If area is not netmail, and msg-kinds are private then
only personal messages are included.
- If area is not netmail, and msg-kinds are both (pvt/pub)
then personal messages and messages without pvt flag are
included.
- Otherwhise all messages are included in the packet.
Removed debug messages for the POP3 protocol.
mbpasswd:
Fixed a compile problem on systems without shadow passwords.
Thanks to Mario Mure.
Corrected a missing library in salt.c
Corrected a missing conditional header file in encrypt.c
mbmsg:
Wrote wrong CHRS kludge in the post function.
mbfile:
Warns about empty file areas during kill files.
v0.33.17 21-May-2001
upgrade:
Compile the sources.
Stop the bbs using the init script mbsed as root:
Slackware 7.0 and older: /opt/mbse/etc/rc.shutdown

Install the new programs.
Start the bbs using the examples above and use the word start.
Use mbsetup menu 1.18 to change the Zone Mail Hour if you are
not in Fidonet zone 2.
general:
The daemon mbsed is now obsolete, all these functions are now
in the mbtask daemon. For client/server communications Unix
Datagram sockets are used instead of TCP stream sockets.
Italian language added, translated by nervous@nervous.it
Spanish language added, translated by Redy Rodriguez.
JAM messagebase locking is now according to the JAM specs.
docs:
Added fsc-0088, fts-4001 and a page to describe the use of a

Added in file area setup and message area setup the description
of the global commands.
SETUP.sh:
Removed installing mbse as port in /etc/services
common.a:
The diskfree check now ignores a mounted filesystem at /boot
because that filesystem is usually small and not needed by
mbse.
The diskfree check should support reiserfs now (not tested).
Code and logging cleanup in packet.c
dbase.a:
Removed debug logging from the dupes databases.
mbinet.a:
When an NNRP server asked for authentication after the first
command instead of after connect, the user authentication
wasn't started.
mbsed:
Obsolete and removed.
mbtask:
Does all things mbsed used to do, it uses Unix Datagram sockets
to communicate with the clients.
If IP addresses to test are entered in the setup it will check
if the internet connection is available with ICMP ping.
Added Internet connection status, system running status and
system load average to the GSTA command for mbmon.
Create's the file ~/etc/config.data if it doesn't exist and
fills it with default parameters.
Note: the internet connection status is for future use.
mbfido:
The pktdate logresult is now only displayed if there was
something wrong.
The Checkdupe fallback logmessage is removed.
Corrected a small bug in the news to echomail gate to get the
correct replyto and replyaddr kludges in the messages.
Changed the tosspkt messages read functions back to the way it
was so the namefield may be exactly 36 characters long excluding
the null terminator.
The PING function didn't work if the message came from a node
not in the setup.
The PING reply now has a Re: prepended.
The scannews function now acts better on nntp error conditions.
Local posted echomail dropped the subject when it was gated to
news.
If imported netmail doesn't have a FMPT kludge and there is
pointinfo in the MSGID line, the pointinfo is taken from the
MSGID line.
Improved the TRACE message of the PING function to make it
more clear that it is a TRACE message.
The PING reply now uses the aka from address that was original
the destination address instead of the matched aka in the
reply message.
Added a hack to try to process .tic files that are not lowercase
filenames.
Added support for a system alias file to convert fidonet
addresses to RFC addresses.
In the mbnews function the tests for the headers Newsgroups:
and Message-ID: are now case insensitive.
File attaches with the leave case option set did not get the
TFS or KFS flags set in the attachement.
mbdiff:
Removed some debugging logmessages.
mbfile:
Removed some unnecessary logmessages.
mbmon:
When viewing the bbs lastcaller list the clock wasn't updated.
The <host> commandline option doesn't work anymore because we
now use Unix Datagram sockets to communicate with the server,
so we must be on the same system.
Added Internet status, running status and system load average
to the Server Statistics screen.
Minor adjustments to the screen layout of the Filesystem Usage
screen.
mbindex:
Sends the correct IsDoing information to mbtask during sort and
write.
mbsetup:
Added setup screen for the task manager.
Some menus didn't have the default "-" character in the prompt.
The language setup now adds Italian and Spanish on new
installations.

mbtask.
In golded.inc AKAMATCHECHO is no YES.
In golded.inc writing the AKAMATCH aka's other then fidonet
didn't really match the aka's, the main aka was written instead.

In the displayfile function the ^B syntax (show text above
sec. level) is now: ^B<level>^B<text to display>^B without
the < and > characters. Thanks to Harald Wuensch.
Removed (press enter to Quit) from language prompt 379 since
there is no default choice.
Adjusted a lot of strings for filenames and paths to PATH_MAX
in stead of 80 characters length.
Moved the Nopper call in the fullscreen editor to a place were
it always should work.
mbcico:
The session debug logmessages are set to the special loglevel.
Implemented EMSI-II, FSC-0088.
When calling a TCP/IP node with hostname in nodelist system
name and a valid phonenumber, and if the hostname could not
be resolved, mbcico would dialout and try to establish a
TCP/IP session over the modem connection. Now the TCP/IP
flags are cleared and mbcico will fallback to valid old style
phone sessions.
In binkp added the M_NUL PHN and M_NUL OPM to log if they are
received from the remote. We also send these flags.
In binkp we now always send and empty dataframe after a file

directory Maildir with subdirs cur, new and tmp are created,
also owned by the user. Some MTA's need this (Qmail).
Doesn't create the .hushlogin file anymore, not needed.
mbmsg:
Now runs umask(007)
mbuser:
If users at the end of the userbase are deleted and the database
should be truncated, these users were not removed from the Unix
system and their homedirectories weren't removed also.
Added a check to see if the sysop defined in the main config
also exists in the user database because these two must match.
mbstat:
Added the semafore command to set internal mbtask semafore's.
script/installinit:
Corrected a bug for Slackware 7.0.0 were the wrong initscripts
were installed.
examples:

Removed the subdirectory for this not finished program. It may
or may not return later.
mbfido:
Filefind replies had a wrong ^aREPLY kludge.
Rewrote a lot of code so that similar functions are only once
present. This will make bughunting and maintaining much easier.
Scanned netmail from point addresses created with GoldED are
now always checked for missing FMPT, TOPT and INTL kludges and
they are inserted when missing.
The checkdupe switch also work in uucp mode (mbnews).
The code for mbmail is now merged into mbfido. A symlink from
mbmail to mbfido is created to let mbfido run in mail mode.
The syntax to call mbmail is changed.
Implemented processing ^aFLAGS for received netmail (FSC-0053).
mbmail:
Obsolete, the functions are now in mbfido.
mbtask:

reports database is converted on the fly.
All path variables now have a length of PATH_MAX.
When mbsetup is started, all databases not present are created
and when needed filled with default records.
There is now one possible commandline parameter: init. This
should be used only once (but doesn't hurt if run more then
once) on a new installation.
A check is build in that mbsetup is started by user mbse.
Fixed segfault error during exit of mbsetup when writing the
golded.inc file when the bbs is more or less unconfigured.
The file golded.inc is now only rewritten if changes are made

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.

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.

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.

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. Also 10 oneliners are installed.
Changed help for nodes billing flag.
Changed users password length to 14 characters instead of 12.
When you make a tty line available, some settings are
automatic set to reasonable defaults.
The color editor now has a rangecheck.
Rewrote calling of the color editor for Sparc systems.
Added setup items in global and message areas to limit the
fetching of newsgroups headers.
The edit field now shows the contents correctly if the field
contains the % character.
In several menus after leaving a edit record records were
displayed from start again, now shows last screen.
When editing a node's connected file/mail groups it can now
handle more then 40 groups without messing up the screen.
Fixed area selection in filedatabase editor.
Protected help string display for boolean edit against buffer
overflow.
Menu 5.1.14, helpstring was too long, causing a buffer
overflow without the previous protection.

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.

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.

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. Needed for mbtask.
mbout:
Fixes for Linux Sparc systems.
The node query now displays the system open times (Txx) flags.
The node query now also displays the CM,MO flags etc.
mbtask:
Changed to handle the External Doors flag in the lastcaller
information.
On new systems, ~/etc/config.data and ~/etc/task.data are
created with mode 0640.
On new systems, the DOS path isn't set anymore by default,
most people don't need it.
Starting utilities is now more relaxed using a 3 seconds
pause timer. 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. The files.bbs files have download
counters included.
The mbfile check function now converts the short filenames
to DOS 8.3 filenames. (The first time this logs lots of
errors).
The mbfile list function now gives a listing of the contents
of a file area if the area number is given as argument.

at the same time.
Implemented "mbfile delete" and "mbfile undelete" commands.
The command mbfile check now removes obsolete file databases.
Fixes for Sparc systems.
Fixed index screens to prevent negative totals with large
filebases.
Added standard doctype header and commentline to the html
pages.
The mbfile check function deletes double filerecords in the
database.
mball:
The index function is now obsolete, this is added to mbfile.
You may need to adjust your scripts that call "mball index".
Fixes for Sparc systems.
Fixed to prevent negative values with large filebases.
mbaff:
Fixes for Sparc systems.
Fix for large filebases, could not run longer then 10 minutes.
mbindex:
Fixes for Sparc systems.
mbdiff:
Fixes for Sparc systems.
mbfbgen:
Obsolete and removed from the distribution. The function is
now in mbfile.
fbutil:
Removed from the distribution. Thanks to Johannes Lundberg,
2:206/149@fidonet to let us use his program until mbfile could
take over.
