MBSEBBS History in 1999.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.30/a 01-Jan-1999.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Removed a bug in the program lock that could cause a segfault.
|
|
In delete viruswork made rm now work in forced mode.
|
|
Hatch files now logs only hatched files. Added the
|
|
statistics update.
|
|
Changed completly the call module. There were some locking
|
|
problems and modem access attempts when the port was closed.
|
|
In Hydra the transfercounters are now updated after each
|
|
succesfull block.
|
|
Added more debugging log to the ttyio driver.
|
|
In answer mode we grep the environment variables CONNECT
|
|
and CALLER_ID created by mgetty and make log entries.
|
|
Swapped timer numbers in Hydra, in tty_write we now don't
|
|
test the read timer anymore, this gave unexpected timeouts
|
|
and is not according the Hydra specs.
|
|
Changed more debugging in ttyio, zmodem and zedzap are still
|
|
not working well.
|
|
Undiable nodes will not be added to the callist anymore.
|
|
|
|
mbsed:
|
|
Added some logging in the ZMH status check to see what goes
|
|
wrong with asking ZMH status.
|
|
Changed the statusfile locking, now the lock tests are done
|
|
at 100 mSec intervals instead of 1 Second.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Added CONNECT and CALLER_ID environment variables logging.
|
|
|
|
newuser:
|
|
Added CONNECT and CALLER_ID environment variables logging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.30/b1 10-Jan-1999.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Removed a bug in client.c that caused a segmentation fault
|
|
when the connected tty was /dev/console. It is now possible
|
|
to run clients from sysv init during system boot.
|
|
|
|
mbsed:
|
|
Removed a bug in the ZMH status function.
|
|
Changed statusfile lock form 15 x 100 mSec to 10 x 250 mSec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.30/b2 16-Jan-1999.
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Defined bitmasks for logging. There are now maximum 26 debug
|
|
logflags. The logflags are changed from int to long.
|
|
All programs have been changed to use these flags now.
|
|
|
|
upgrade:
|
|
In mbsetup set the new flags in menu 1.5.19 1.5.20 and 1.18.1
|
|
|
|
note:
|
|
This version still only compiles on Slackware 3.2 maybe
|
|
others, but not on RedHat 5.1 5.2 and RedHat 5.2 Sparc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.31/a 23-Jan-1999.
|
|
|
|
update:
|
|
Recompile the nodelists. Remove old index.dir and index.pag
|
|
files from the nodelist directory.
|
|
Set new value for dialdelay.
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Removed mbsed from this source tree. From now on this will
|
|
be distributed as a seperate archive.
|
|
Finally found out why this package wouldn't work with glibc.
|
|
Complete rewrite of the nodelist indexes. I don't use any
|
|
dbm, ndbm anymore. I wanted username lookup included and
|
|
full support for ISDN and TCP/IP only nodes.
|
|
It now compiles on RedHat 5.2 Sparc and Intel.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Removed a serious memory leak causing the system to exhaust
|
|
all available memory during long filetransfer sessions.
|
|
Rewrote the nodelist lookup functions. Search is very fast
|
|
because the index file is sorted on nodenumber.
|
|
The nodelists will be closed after each lookup so that mbindex
|
|
may always compile new indexes.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
In call.c changed the port closing, it will now also close the
|
|
port after an unsuccessfull call so multiple calls in one
|
|
run will now hopefully work.
|
|
Removed a bug when calling a TCP/IP node it was trying to
|
|
dial with a modem.
|
|
Added random number generator to set the dialdelay before a
|
|
call is made.
|
|
|
|
mbindex:
|
|
Total rewrite for the new nodelist indexes. In -quiet mode
|
|
it does the usleep(1) call every 80 lines (if set). Note
|
|
that in quiet mode it still runs faster then with screen
|
|
output.
|
|
The index file is sorted before it is written to disk. This
|
|
makes node lookup very fast (faster then with ndbm).
|
|
The old files stay on disk in case they are open, which can
|
|
only be for less then a second.
|
|
The semafore compile is not created anymore, instead the
|
|
mbindex program creates a lockfile to prevent that another
|
|
mbindex can run. Compiling the nodelists can now be done at
|
|
any moment.
|
|
Username indexes are not supported at this moment.
|
|
|
|
mbstat:
|
|
Now only changes ZMH status if the status is really changed.
|
|
Will create the "scanout" semafore if ZMH status changes (I
|
|
did document it).
|
|
|
|
mbmsg:
|
|
Changed the logging, killing messages now logs in columns, so
|
|
you can easy see how the mailflow and killing develops.
|
|
Removed some debug logging (finally).
|
|
When screen output is on, the last line is now erased after
|
|
processing.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Changed helptekst for mailer->dialdelay.
|
|
|
|
mball:
|
|
Now creates semafore "mailin" when ready so the produced
|
|
allfiles and newfiles listings will be imported by mbfido tic.
|
|
|
|
mbsed:
|
|
Changed the $MBSE_ROOT/sta directory to $MBSE_ROOT/var and
|
|
changed the names of the status and reginfo files.
|
|
|
|
v0.31/b 06-Feb-1999
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Changed raw keyboard read to get cursor movement keys and other
|
|
gray keyboard keys. Only cursor movements is guaranteed to work
|
|
This is a limitation of PC-ANSI clients.
|
|
This change is needed to write the fullscreen editor.
|
|
Removed memory leaks from getheader.c and mbfile.c
|
|
Switched to one single .h file.
|
|
If loggin "message repeated n times" the first character is now
|
|
uppercase as in normal logmessages.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Implemented raw keyboard read changes.
|
|
All actions in change.c are now logged.
|
|
Made change voice and data phone work.
|
|
Removed the (dangerous) gets function from funcs.c
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Removed ncurses code.
|
|
In line editor the delete and insert key is finally working.
|
|
Modified help tekst for modem hangup string.
|
|
|
|
mbmon:
|
|
Removed ncurses code.
|
|
In line editor the delete and insert key is finally working.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
If modem hangup string is empty only DTR-drop will be used
|
|
to hangup the modem line.
|
|
During ZMH mbcico will now only call nodes for which it has
|
|
non archived mail (netmail).
|
|
Changed ttyio debug logs, could block the session.
|
|
For magic file and execute requests now looks for both upper-
|
|
and lowercase matches.
|
|
Filerequests are searched in the internal database on both
|
|
long and short filenames, password protection is supported,
|
|
and the request counter in the FDB is updated.
|
|
|
|
mbindex:
|
|
Doesn't complain anymore when the semafore "mbindex" didn't
|
|
exist when it tried to remove it.
|
|
Now tests for latest nodelist by filedate instead of file
|
|
extension number.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Creates magic file names for magic filerequests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.32/a 16-Feb-1999
|
|
|
|
update:
|
|
Remove symlink directories.
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Changed elapsed time logging, now ranges from seconds to
|
|
days with the same stringlength.
|
|
Moved signal names to common.a, also included the names
|
|
for i386 and Sparc systems.
|
|
Added PackNetmail flag to nodes record.
|
|
|
|
msgbase.a:
|
|
Removed automatic adding of FMPT and TOPT kludges in netmail.
|
|
Applications are responsible for adding kludges.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
Removed code to work on symlinks for ifcico file requests.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Added some code to prevent memory leaks.
|
|
The .pkt password check now always logs bad passwords, only
|
|
when mail password check is set, bad passwords are fatal.
|
|
Added code to keep dupe databases in maximum limits.
|
|
Now forcing chdir to inbound before processing each .tic file.
|
|
It will now export netmail from the message base. It also
|
|
supports packed und unpacked netmail.
|
|
Added TZUTC kludge (FSP-1001).
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Changed zmrecv debug logging for hanging session with one
|
|
of my links using InterMail 2.50 ML, rev B020.
|
|
If polling all lines of a multiline node and the first line
|
|
was successfull, mbcico would still poll the other lines.
|
|
The random dialdelay is now always 10 seconds or more to give
|
|
mgetty the chance to reset the modem and takeover the line
|
|
between multiple calls.
|
|
During dialdelay the IsDoing status is now sent every second
|
|
to the mbsed so you can watch it with mbmon.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Changed nodes setup so that password may be upper or lowercase
|
|
for remotes that are case sensitive (was always uppercase).
|
|
Added support for PackNetmail flags in nodes editor.
|
|
|
|
scripts:
|
|
In run_inout added the news gateway (echomail => news).
|
|
|
|
mbindex:
|
|
Now only tries to compile files with a numeric extension,
|
|
2 or 3 digits length.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Wrote a simple fullscreen message editor, more or less
|
|
Wordstar compatible.
|
|
Fixed a small problem in the line editor.
|
|
The maximum size of a message is now 500 lines.
|
|
When replying to a message, the original message is quoted
|
|
into the textbuffer including an introduction line.
|
|
When replying to a message, "Re: " is inserted in the
|
|
subject if there was none.
|
|
It is now possible to send and reply netmails.
|
|
Added TZUTC kludge (FSP-1001).
|
|
|
|
mbout:
|
|
With poll and stop command you can enter multiple nodes.
|
|
With the request command you can enter multiple files.
|
|
The request command doesn't create a .flo file anymore, the
|
|
actual calling of the node must be done with the poll
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
mbaff:
|
|
Added TZUTC kludge (FSP-1001).
|
|
|
|
mbsed:
|
|
Implemented CIPM and CSPM commands (online messages between
|
|
users). Updated the programnames list for check if the bbs
|
|
is idle. Changed the reginfo file lock to 30 x 150 mSec.
|
|
Fixed the Linux Sparc version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.32/b 15-Mar-1999
|
|
|
|
upgrade:
|
|
Delete the newuser program and any accounts using it.
|
|
Move compiled language datafiles to ~/etc.
|
|
Move config.data from ~ to ~/etc.
|
|
Remove ~/lang directory
|
|
chown -R mbse.bbs ~/home/*
|
|
Upgrade mbsed to at least v0.32 Alpha.
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
The mbsebbs program now runs setuid "mbse" setgid "bbs".
|
|
All files are now owned by mbse.bbs, even the bbs users
|
|
private files.
|
|
All references to directories for the configuration are now
|
|
hardcoded to ~/etc, ~/fdb, ~/log, ~/tmp and ~/var.
|
|
The directory ~/lang is no longer needed.
|
|
The directory /tmp is no longer used, using ~/tmp instead.
|
|
Moved the language sources and installation into this source
|
|
tree.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Forgot to append <cr> after the TZUTC kludge.
|
|
If we were a point, a route to our boss was not found.
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Now runs setuid "mbse" and setgid "bbs". Changed the parameters
|
|
to the mbuseradd program. The newuser program is now part of
|
|
mbsebbs.
|
|
It is now possible to run mbsebbs as a shell, it is even wise
|
|
to do so!
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
Sending and receiving online messages is now handled thru
|
|
mbsed. You need at least mbsed v0.32 Alpha.
|
|
Removed the last "gets" function.
|
|
|
|
newuser:
|
|
No longer exists.
|
|
|
|
mbuseradd:
|
|
Changed parameters to this program.
|
|
Finally worked around the problem of different passwd programs,
|
|
we will now let the user supply a new password instead of
|
|
creating an empty expired password. The shadow password suite
|
|
isn't necessary anymore but it may be wise to use it.
|
|
It will not install /bin/bash as user shell anymore, during
|
|
loading of the bbs users could get a shell prompt if they were
|
|
fast enough. The mbsebbs program is now installed as shell.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
Updated screen 1.3, global paths. There is only one screen now.
|
|
|
|
mbmon:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
|
|
mball:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
|
|
fbgen:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
|
|
mbmsg:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
|
|
mbuser:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Updated for hardcoded paths.
|
|
If the tty port was locked by another process, mbcico tried
|
|
to close the port of that process (and luckily it failed).
|
|
Now it won't try to close that port and try to remove the
|
|
lockfile. 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 <cr> 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.

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.

|
|
7. Menu 10.2, leave and update the database.
|
|
8. Menu 10.3, leave and update the database.
|
|

|
|
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.

Removed a small memory leak in the check function.
|
|
|
|
mball:

|
in the incoming tic file, the downlinks got a shortened
|
|
description line.
|

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. Should be off unless
|
|
you need it.
|
|
Remove the line LOGDEBUG from $MBSE_ROOT/etc/client.conf
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Added the original copyright in for the 32 bits crc code.
|
|
Checking .pkt header now checks valid system aka's.
|
|
Removed reading LOGDEBUG from ~/etc/client.conf, wasn't used.
|
|
Added SigName for Alpha CPU (not tested).
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Removed debug message in addpkt.
|
|
Added 2 extra DeleteVirusWork() calls in tic processing at
|
|
points where processing is aborted and left the temp directory
|
|
with unwanted files. 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. Renamed to mbfbgen.
|
|
The dangerous gets function is replaced.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
The edit path function now checks if the directory has read
|
|
access instead of write access, it might be on CD-rom.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
Skips the kill and pack functions on CD-rom areas.
|
|
Skips the check of files on disk against the database on
|
|
CD-rom areas.
|
|
|
|
mball:
|
|
Doesn't create 00index files on CD-rom areas anymore.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
More bugfixes in TCP protocol. Better error handling for
|
|
disconnected sessions.
|
|
Creates inbound tmp directories when they don't exist.
|
|
Now presents the EMSI info from the tty records if
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
script:
|
|
Corrected a syntax error in the maint script.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
The areamgr and filemgr names are not hardcoded anymore,
|
|
the names presented are the first names defined in the
|
|
setup.
|
|
Outbound processing now also works if CFG.dospath is empty,
|
|
then Unix style fileattaches will be created.
|
|
Rewrite of file import function by JvdW to fix some bugs.
|
|
FileMgr and AreaMgr global connect and disconnect now
|
|
check if the area is set to Active.
|
|
Rewrote ARCmail naming, zero length archives older then
|
|
6 days are deleted. If a zero length archive then still
|
|
exists, the extension number is bumped. This should
|
|
prevent using the same archive name on the same day to
|
|
nodes with more then one mailsession each day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.33/g3 18-Oct-1999
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Ideas for generating ARCmail names by Sean Rima and JvdW
|
|
implemented.
|
|
Lot's of cosmetic stuff to make commandlines, help screens,
|
|
more clear and the same for each program by JvdW.
|
|
|
|
update:
|
|
In mbsetup 1.14.15 check that this is zero or the number of
|
|
old days you want echomail rejected.
|
|
Check in mbsetup nodes->mail that "ARCmail a..z" is off
|
|
for nodes that can't handle that.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
File attaches that are no longer on disk are now correctly
|
|
removed from the flo files. Changed logging for this.
|
|
The scanout function now removes truncated ARCmail files
|
|
that are not of the current day or are older then 6 days.
|
|
Corrected a bug that the inbound directory wasn't created
|
|
when it didn't exist.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Now allows netmail crash replies.
|
|
Can now reply netmail that came in via the UUCP gateway,
|
|
when the reply is saved the message is readdressed to the
|
|
gateway.
|
|
Disabled the download transfertime check before starting a
|
|
download. It gave unpredicteble results if the users previous
|
|
download cps was bad for some reason, the user couldn't
|
|
download.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
New menu item in 1.14, "Reject old", to reject incoming
|
|
echomail older then this number of days, or zero to not
|
|
check the age.
|
|
In nodes->mail setup added a switch to allow a..z
|
|
ARCmail archives extensions.
|
|
Made editing log (debug) switches more clear.
|
|
Some editing keys now beep if you do something wrong.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
The pack function now supports 'a..z' ARCmail extensions
|
|
if this is on for that node.
|
|
It's possible to reject too old echomail.
|
|
Short commands and options now displayed in the help.
|
|
The fileforward netmail now set's the filemgs name first
|
|
character to uppercase.
|
|
The uploader name with file import now only has one
|
|
name anymore, the first character is capitalized. This
|
|
line should not be too long, this gives ugly listings.
|
|
System aka's in the same zone other then the aka of echomail
|
|
area are added to the seen-by lines.
|
|
Added experimental zonegate support for echomail.
|
|
Removed some debug logging in tic processing.
|
|
|
|
mbaff:
|
|
Short commands and options are now possible, like other
|
|
programs already did.
|
|
|
|
mbout:
|
|
Short commands and options are now possible, like other
|
|
programs already did.
|
|
The scanout function now removes truncated ARCmail files
|
|
that are not of the current day or are older then 6 days.
|
|
Suppressed the help message for file attach, it is not
|
|
yet implemented.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
Short commands and options now displayed in the help.
|
|
|
|
mbmsg:
|
|
Short commands and options are now possible, like other
|
|
programs already did.
|
|
|
|
mball:
|
|
Short commands and options now displayed in the help.
|
|
|
|
mbstat:
|
|
Short commands and options are now possible, like other
|
|
programs already did.
|
|
|
|
mbfbgen:
|
|
Handles files.bbs lines of 255 characters instead of 80.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.33/g4 05-Nov-1999.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
The final seenby lines are deduped and sorted before writing
|
|
them to the in and exported echomails.
|
|
Areamgr and Filemgr messages now have a capitalized first
|
|
"From" name character.
|
|
Areamgr new function: flow reports. Can be requested by
|
|
%flow and is automatic generated with notify reports.
|
|
Areamgr, increased the area tag from 20 to 25 characters
|
|
in the notify reports and %list, %query, %unlinked response
|
|
messages.
|
|
Corrected a bug creating garbage at the end of the magic
|
|
execute commandline.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Reply to UUCP gateway didn't work in real live, it seemed
|
|
that the official UUCP gate had no ':' character after the
|
|
REPLYADDR and REPLYTO kludges, while my testsystem running
|
|
ifmail 2.12 for the gate does. I now test both cases.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Implemented remove ARCmail older then n days.
|
|
|
|
mbout:
|
|
Implemented remove ARCmail older then n days.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Added integrity check for edit message groups.
|
|
Added integrity check for edit fileecho groups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.33/g5 13-Nov-1999.
|
|
|
|
upgrade:
|
|
Edit /etc/inetd.conf to add "-t ifc" for standard ifcico
|
|
protocol, "-t itn" for telnet protocol.
|
|
If you don't use the original binkp mailer, you may want to
|
|
add entries for the binkp protocol, this will show the
|
|
remote that you don't support the binkp protocol.
|
|
The installation scripts are updated. See the file SETUP.sh
|
|
on how the files /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf should
|
|
look like.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Implemented "not supported" binkp protocol.
|
|
Revised commandline parameters, in TCP/IP slave mode the
|
|
mode must be given on the commandline, -t ifc for standard
|
|
ifcico protocol, -t itn for telnet protocol, -t ibn for
|
|
binkp protocol.
|
|
Starting mbcico without arguments will show the help screen.
|
|
Now all programs do that exept the mbsebbs binary.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Changed language prompts 214 and 215.
|
|
Added language prompt 46.
|
|
Added message export to file function. The file will be saved
|
|
in the users private homedirectory, the filename is created
|
|
as <areanum>_<msgnum>.msg in MS-DOS format.
|
|
Corrected display header of users home directory file list.
|
|
Added import file in message function, the file must be in the
|
|
users private homedirectory. This only works in the fullscreen
|
|
editor.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Inserted 2 sync() calls during mailtoss. I hope this prevents
|
|
temporary missing archives and .pkt files.
|
|
New command, "tag", writes areas tagfiles for each mail and
|
|
tic file group to the ~/doc directory. Filenames are automatic
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
In edit tic area and edit message area editing of connected
|
|
systems now uses the existing node setup.
|
|
Made a new menu selector for areas with Global and Move
|
|
options.
|
|
Implemented new menu selector in message and tic areas select.
|
|
If you jump directly to a message or tic area with select, the
|
|
offset is recalculated to that area range.
|
|
Added global editing functions in message areas setup. Functions
|
|
are add, delete, change connected systems, aka to use and some
|
|
other settings.
|
|
Edit a nodes aka's is checked if these aka's are used in tic
|
|
and message areas.
|
|
Delete a node is checked against aka's used in tic and message
|
|
areas.
|
|
|
|
v0.33/g6 22-Nov-1999
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Removed a bug where you could not add new aka's to nodes due to
|
|
the aka's checking.
|
|
With database intergrity checks the cause of blocked actions
|
|
is now logged in mbsetup.log
|
|
If you change the number of connected systems or maximum groups
|
|
in global setup, the databases affected will be automatic
|
|
updated.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
When writing a notify message to selected nodes all other nodes
|
|
received status messages.
|
|
Corrected uploader name, removed "BBS" string.
|
|
Installed patches from JvdW in file forward to correct some
|
|
segfaults with the subject variable.
|
|
The local hatched files are now moved to the inbound so that
|
|
the unarchiver programs can find these files.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Added very experimental binkp protocol. Handle with care and
|
|
at your own risk. This isn't finished yet.
|
|
|
|
SETUP.sh:
|
|
Fixed the script, there was one "fi" missing so the script
|
|
crashed and didn't do all changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.33/g7 05-Dec-1999
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Fixed some logging in binkp protocol. It works for normal
|
|
mail and files transport.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
Export message to users work directory did not put the
|
|
message in the work directory but in the home directory.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Netmail to unknown bbs users are now readdressed to the
|
|
sysop. Should be a bounce message.
|
|
Added a experimental test for empty imported netmails.
|
|
The netmail area Private flag is checked to see if we keep the
|
|
original Private flag or force imported netmail to Private.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.33/g8 12-Dec-1999
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Changed the Makefile, make zip now puts FILE_ID.DIZ in the
|
|
root of the directory tree so that file processors will
|
|
find it now. This is a <cr><lf> 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. Still busy
|
|
finding them, but most programs are allright now.
|
|
You can turn memwatch on and off in the file CONFIG. 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.
