|
|
|
In this setup you can edit all global settings for MBSE BBS. All sections will
|
|
be discussed below.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<h3>1.1. Fidonet Aka's.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here you can enter 40 fidonet addresses. These are 5d addresses. Make sure you
|
|
group the different zone's together, strange things will happen if you don't
|
|
group them.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>1.2. Edit Registration Info.</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>BBS Name </strong>The name of your BBS
|
|
<strong>Maildomain </strong>Your internet mail domain name (or system host.domain.com
|
|
if you don't have a maildomain).
|
|
<strong>Sysop uid </strong>The Unix name of your Sysop account
|
|
<strong>Sysop Fido </strong>The Fidonet name of your Sysop account
|
|
<strong>Location </strong>The Location of your BBS
|
|
<strong>OLR id </strong>The packet name for Offline mail downloads.
|
|
<strong>Comment </strong>A comment line for your BBS
|
|
<strong>Origin </strong>The default origin line for echomail
|
|
<strong>Newuser </strong>The default username "bbs" for new users.
|
|
<strong>My FQDN </strong>My real internet Full Qualified Domain Name.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
A note abou the last item, My FQDN. This <b>MUST</b> be the name that is
|
|
returned with <code>nslookup 1.2.3.4</code> (use your internet IP adress there)
|
|
if you have a fixed IP address. Systems that are on a dynamic IP address and use
|
|
some sort of dyndns service <b>may</b> put that dyndns FQDN in there. Using this will
|
|
cause the other system to do twice as much dns resolve actions, so use this only
|
|
when needed. Another note, what you put in here has nothing to do with mail or
|
|
mail domains, that needs to be in the second option of this screen. The My FQDN
|
|
field is used by the Internet BBS Chatserver (IBC) to allow bbs systems to build
|
|
a chat network.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<h3>1.3. Edit Global Filenames.</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>System logfile </strong>The name of the main logfile
|
|
<strong>Error logfile </strong>The name of the errors logfile
|
|
<strong>Debug logfile </strong>The name of the debug logfile
|
|
<strong>Mgr logfile </strong>The name of the area-/filemgr logfile
|
|
<strong>Default menu </strong>The name of the default main menu
|
|
<strong>Chat logfile </strong>The name of the logfile for chatting
|
|
<strong>Welcome logo </strong>The name of the BBS logo ANSI file
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<h3>1.4. Edit Global Paths</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Home dirs </strong>The path to the users home directories
|
|
<strong>FTP base </strong>The FTP base path, ie. /opt/mbse/ftp/pub
|
|
<strong>Arealists </strong>The path where area lists and filebone lists are stored
|
|
<strong>Ext. edit </strong>The full path and filename to the external editor
|
|
<strong>Rules dir </strong>The path to the directory to store area rules
|
|
<strong>Magic's </strong>Where the magic filerequests are kept
|
|
<strong>DOS path </strong>The DOS drive and path
|
|
<strong>Unix path </strong>The Translated DOS path in real
|
|
<strong>LeaveCase </strong>Leave outbound .flo filenames as is, No forces to uppercase
|
|
|
|
<strong>Nodelists </strong>The path to the nodelist directory
|
|
<strong>Inbound </strong>The unprotected fidonet inbound
|
|
<strong>Prot inb. </strong>The (password) protected fidonet inbound
|
|
<strong>Outbound </strong>The outbound for the main aka
|
|
<strong>Out queue </strong>The outbound queue for temporary files
|
|
<strong>*.msgs </strong>A netmail directory from where *.msg mails are tossed
|
|
These are *.msg files can be created by several doors. (Not in use yet)
|
|
<strong>Bad TIC's </strong>Where bad TIC files are saved
|
|
<strong>TIC queue </strong>Where TIC files for downlinks are kept
|
|
<strong>TMail DOS </strong>The T-Mail 8.3 (short) base path (empty = disable)
|
|
<strong>TMail Win </strong>The T-Mail long filename base path (empty = disable)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
If you fill in the DOS path then the DOS path and Unix path are translated
|
|
to DOS paths in the flo files for outbound mail sessions. You only need this if
|
|
another mailer uses the outbound that doesn't understand Unix paths.
|
|
The DOS path is a fake, but it must match the other mailer.
|
|
Note that the TIC queue must be somewere in the Unix path, otherwise it is
|
|
impossible to create a DOS path from the path to the TIC files in that
|
|
directory. To set this up correctly is also important if you use other mailers
|
|
as well, for example binkd, or even a DOS binkly-style mailer running from
|
|
a network. All those mailer must "see" the same file attaches in the .flo
|
|
files.
|
|
<P>

<h3>1.5. Edit BBS Configuration</H3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Private system </strong>Set to true when only pre-registered users are allowed
|
|
<strong>Exclude Sysop </strong>True is Sysop will be invisible
|
|
<strong>Show connect </strong>Show connection info at logon
|
|
<strong>Ask protocols </strong>Ask protocol before each up/download
|
|
<strong>Sysop level </strong>The Sysop security level
|
|
<strong>Password Length </strong>The minimum password length, should be 6.
|
|
<strong>Password Char. </strong>The password hiding character
|
|
<strong>Idle timeout </strong>The idle timeout in minutes
|
|
<strong>Login Enters </strong>Maximum times for only enter <Enter>
|
|
<strong>Login Attempts </strong>Maximum login attempts
|
|
<strong>Homedir Quota </strong>Maximum size in MBytes for each user
|
|
<strong>Location length </strong>The minimum length of the location (3 in Holland!)
|
|
<strong>Show new msgarea </strong>Show new available message areas at logon (for OLR users)
|
|
<strong>OLR Max. msgs. </strong>Maximum messages to download, 0 is no limit.
|
|
<strong>OLR Newfile days </strong>The maximum age for newfiles in the OLR packet
|
|
<strong>OLR Max Filereq </strong>Maximum filerequests allowed for OLR users
|
|
<strong>BBS Log Level </strong>What will be logged or not the BBS program
|
|
<strong>Utils Log Level </strong>What will be logged or not for utilities
|
|
<strong>Utils slowly </strong>Should utilities release <A HREF="../misc/usleep.html">timeslices</A>
|
|
<strong>CrashMail level </strong>Minimum level to allow sending netmail crash
|
|
<strong>FileAttach level </strong>Minimum level to allow attach files to netmail
|
|
<strong>Min diskspace MB </strong>At which low diskspace level utilities should stop working.
|
|
<strong>Simult. logins </strong>Maximum simultaneous logins allowed, 0 is unlimited, 1 is adviced.
|
|
<strong>Child priority </strong>Subproces nice priority, 0=high, 15=low CPU load.
|
|
<strong>Filesystem sync </strong>Call sync before and after execute.
|
|
<strong>Default language </strong>Default language (English).
|
|
</pre>
|
|
The minimum diskspace setting is to prevent that files get corrupted if your filesystem
|
|
is full. All drives are checked except CD-roms and floppies and the /boot directory if that
|
|
one is on a separate filesystem. Ext2, ext3, reiserfs, msdos and vfat partitions
|
|
are checked. The lowest free diskspace found counts. Default is 10 MB.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Child priority sets the nice value for example zip/unzip, virus scanners
|
|
etc. Modern fast hardware will do fine with a low setting, older (pre PII)
|
|
hardware may need 15 to prevent a too heavy CPU load.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The filesystem sync setting is to call sync before and after the execute call,
|
|
such as when unzip is called. Almost all GNU/Linux systems need this because GNU/Linux
|
|
uses asynchronous directory changes. Since Linux 2.5.19 it should be possible to
|
|
mount filesystems synchronous. If this setting is No on asynchronous filesystems
|
|
mail and files can get corrupted. XxxxBSD systems use synchronous directory
|
|
updates and don't need this switch. If you don't know what all this is about,
|
|
leave this to the default setting.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Choice of default language. English is the best choice because that is the only
|
|
language that is complete in the default installation. In the user setup another
|
|
language may be used, the language set here is then used as a backup.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>1.6. User flag Descriptions.</h3>

<h3>1.9. Sysop paging</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For sysop chat a protocol is used to communicate with the mbtask daemon which
|
|
has a very simple IRC like chatserver. For sysop/user chat a forced channel
|
|
with the name #sysop is used.

<h3>1.10. Fileecho Processing.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A note, when you change the number of Systems or Groups, the databases affected
|
|
will be updated automatic.
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Keep days </strong>How long TIC files should be kept on hold
|
|
<strong>Hatch pwd </strong>The internal hatch password. Make this weird.
|
|
<strong>Drv space </strong>The minimal free space on your disk in kilobytes
|
|
<strong>Systems </strong>The maximum number of connected nodes
|
|
<strong>Groups </strong>The maximum number of fileecho groups
|
|
<strong>Max. dupes </strong>The maximum number of entries in dupe database
|
|
<strong>Keep date </strong>Keep original filedate
|
|
<strong>Keep netm </strong>Keep sent netmails
|
|
<strong>Loc resp </strong>Respond to local created filefind messages
|
|
<strong>Plus all </strong>Allow filemgr +all command
|
|
<strong>Notify </strong>Allow filemgr notify=on/off command
|
|
<strong>Passwd </strong>Allow filemgr/areamgr passwd command
|
|
<strong>Message </strong>Allow filemgr message=on/off command
|
|
<strong>Tic on/off </strong>Allow filemgr tic=on/off command
|
|
<strong>Pause </strong>Allow filemgr pause/resume commands
|
|
</pre><p>
|
|
When you change one of the <b>Allow filemgr</b> settings, you also need to edit
|
|
the file /opt/mbse/english/macro/filemgr.help to reflect the new settings.
|
|
Default all these switches are set to Yes.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h3>1.11. Edit Fidonet mail and echomail processing.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that the first 2 mailboards must also exist in the normal mail areas if
|
|
you want to see what is in them. Here they are defined for quick access of the
|
|
tosser. For the Max. systems and groups see 1.12. If you use MBSE BBS together
|
|
with a DOS based BBS (using DOSEMU or mars netware emulator), you can set the
|
|
behaviour of the outbound to 4d. addressing instead of 5d. This option may
|
|
dissapear in the future.<br>
|
|
Another option is present, this is the <strong>pktdate</strong> option. This
|
|
is the full path and filename to an external program that can inspect and
|
|
correct the mail .pkt files. Originally I put this in to run pktname of Tobias
|
|
Ernst of 2:2476/418 to fix y2k problems in the incoming mail. At this time
|
|
most y2k fixes are build in, but in case you need it it's there. To make it
|
|
clear; the y2ktools written by Tobias are static compiled for GNU/Linux and they
|
|
should run on all GNU/Linux i386 versions. Until now, I still use pktdate because
|
|
it is necessary.<br>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Badboard </strong>The path and filename of the bad messages
|
|
<strong>Dupeboard </strong>The path and filename of the duplicate messages
|
|
<strong>Pktdate </strong>Full path and filename of a .pkt preprocessor
|
|
<strong>Max pkts. </strong>Maximum Kb. of mail packets before a new one is created.
|
|
<strong>Max arcs. </strong>Maximum size in Kilobytes of an arcmail file
|
|
<strong>Keep days </strong>How many day should we keep ARCmail on hold
|
|
<strong>Echo dupes </strong>Maximum number of entries in the echomail dupe database
|
|
<strong>Reject old </strong>Reject echomail messages older then n days
|
|
<strong>Max msgs </strong>Default maximum number of messages in each area
|
|
<strong>Days old </strong>Default number of days old to keep messages
|
|
<strong>Max systems </strong>Maximum number of nodes to connect to echomail
|
|
<strong>Max groups </strong>Maximum number of echomail groups
|
|
<strong>4d address </strong>Use 4d. addressing (not needed you only use MBSE BBS)
|
|
<strong>Split at </strong>Gently split messages after n KBytes (12..60)
|
|
<strong>Force at </strong>Force split of messages after n KBytes (16..63)
|
|
<strong>Plus all </strong>Allow areamgr +all command
|
|
<strong>Notify </strong>Allow areamgr notify=on/off command
|
|
<strong>Passwd </strong>Allow areamgr/filemgr passwd command
|
|
<strong>Pause </strong>Allow areamgr pause/resume commands
|
|
</pre><p>
|
|
When you change one of the <b>Allow areamgr</b> settings, you also need to edit
|
|
the file /opt/mbse/english/macro/areamgr.help to reflect the new settings.
|
|
Default all these switches are set to Yes.
|
|
<P>
|
|
A note about the splitting of messages. Some tossers can't handle
|
|
messages greater than 16 KBytes, these tossers are rare these days. Most
|
|
tossers can handle messages of 32 KBytes. To set these values on the safe
|
|
side set "Split at" to 27 and "Force at" to 31. This means that a long
|
|
newfile report will be split after 27 KBytes when a new group of files
|
|
should start in the report. If it can't find that point because a large
|
|
number of files is in the group that is just being processed, the message
|
|
split will be forced right after the file that passes the 31 KBytes limit.
|
|
I use values of 1 KBytes below maximum for overhead such as SEEN-BY and
|
|
PATH lines. Values larger then 32 KBytes is not a good idea, recent tests
|
|
in May 1999 have shown that your messages will not reach all systems
|
|
if they are larger then 32 KBytes. Splitting is used for newfiles reports
|
|
and gated news articles to Fidonet.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<h3>1.12. Edit Internet mail and news processing.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Email and news is setup here. There are three possible configurations which you
|
|
can set with 1.12.11:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>No internet</strong>. If you don't have any connection to the internet
|
|
use this setting. Email will come from the default Fidonet UUCP gate and will be send out
|
|
via the UUCP gate. Users have email addresses like
|
|
<strong>user@f2802.n280.z2.fidonet.org</strong> Note, the username is their
|
|
Unix name when sending email.
|
|
<li><strong>No maildomain</strong>. If have internet but don't have your own
|
|
maildomain (most dialup systems) you should use this mode.
|
|
Email will be sent via your local SMTP port, then through your
|
|
own sendmail (or whatever you use) to your ISP.
|
|
As soon as you are connected to the internet
|
|
the mail will be sent to your ISP's mailer. In your sendmail you should
|
|
define the mailer of your ISP as Smarthost. Incoming email will still come
|
|
from the UUCP gate. Users have email addresses like
|
|
<strong>user@f2802.n280.z2.fidonet.org</strong> Incoming email comes from
|
|
the default Fidonet UUCP gate.
|
|
Note, the username is their Unix name.
|
|
If you have your own maildomain, don't use this option, use the next option:
|
|
<li><strong>Own maildomain</strong>. If you are permanent connected to the internet
|
|
either with a static or dynamic IP address use this option. Use this option
|
|
also if you have an UUCP domain and have a dialup UUCP connection. Also
|
|
you can use this for dialup if you have your own maildomain without UUCP,
|
|
you will then fetch the mail from a multidrop mailbox (POP or IMAP) and
|
|
send the mail using SMTP via the SMTP mailer of your provider.<br>
|
|
If you have a dynamic IP address you can still get a DNS name from for
|
|
example <A HREF="http://www.dynip.com" rel="nofollow">dynip.com</A>
|
|
Incoming email will come directly from the internet, but if someone sends
|
|
email via the UUCP gate it is also accepted. Users have email addresses like
|
|
<strong>user@yourbbs.domain.org</strong>. Note, the username is their
|
|
Unix name and yourbbs.domain.org must be an existing internet domain.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
A word of wisdom from my side, configuration of the internet, ppp, sendmail etc. is not discussed
|
|
here, see the HOWTO's and other documentation that exists at <A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org" rel="nofollow">
|
|
www.linuxdoc.org</A>, it's all there.
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>POP3 node </strong>The POP3 node to use, should be localhost
|
|
<strong>POP3 user@domain </strong>Use user@domain to login in the POP3 server

|
|
<strong>NNTP user </strong>The username for the NNTP server if needed
|
|
<strong>NNTP pass </strong>The password for the NNTP server if needed
|
|
<strong>News dupes </strong>The number of entries for the news dupes database.
|
|
<strong>Email aka </strong>The Fidonet aka to use for the fidonet.org UUCP gate

|
|
<strong>No regate </strong>Don't regate already gated messages
|
|
|
|
In rnews mode the NNTP entries are replaced by:
|
|
|
|
<strong>Path rnews </strong>The full path and filename to the rnews binary.
|
|
|
|
In UUCP mode the NNTP entries are replaced by:
|

<h3>1.13. Allfiles and Newfiles lists.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
These are the settings that affect the generation of newfiles and allfiles reports.
|
|
<pre>

<h3>1.14. Mailer Setup.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that you can't disable FTS-0001 sessions as that is a mandatory session
|
|
protocol in Fidonet. There are 40 phonenumber translations present, this is for
|
|
countries with lots of telephone operators with all kind of prefixes for
|
|
carrier select functions. The setting of TCP/IP flags is important too, this
|
|
gives the information what this system will do. If you only enter IBN as TCP/IP
|
|
flags then the system will only call IBN nodes (binkp). The default is
|
|
XX,CM and TCP/IP systems (internet) should use the XX,CM,IBN,IFC flags.
|
|
If you cannot do TCP/IP connections, leave TCP/IP "phone" empty. The three
|
|
TCP/IP fields are used to give your system information via EMSI or binkp to
|
|
the other nodes.
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Mailer logl. </strong>The logging level for mailer sessions
|
|
<strong>TCP/IP "phone" </strong>The TCP/IP "phone" number (IP address or domain name)
|
|
<strong>TCP/IP flags </strong>The TCP/IP capability flags for TCP/IP sessions
|
|
<strong>TCP/IP speed </strong>The TCP/IP linespeed
|
|
<strong>Timeout reset </strong>The timout for normal modem commands
|
|
<strong>Timeout connect </strong>The timeout for waiting for connect
|
|
<strong>Dial delay </strong>The maximum delay between calls, minimum is 10 seconds.
|
|
<strong>No Filerquests </strong>Disable filerequests
|
|
<strong>No callout </strong>Disable callout

<h3>1.15. Edit HTML pages setup.</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Here you setup the HTML pages that can be created with the <strong>
|
|
mbfile web</strong> command. These are HTML pages of your download
|
|
areas and indexes of all areas. If there are pictures in these areas
|
|
thumbnails are created if you have the <strong>convert</strong>
|
|
command available. The document root is the same as defined in your
|
|
web server. The link to ftp must be created from that directory to
|
|
your ftp base directory. To do that become root, cd to the document root
|
|
and type <strong>ln -s /var/spool/mbse/ftp files</strong> In this case the link
|
|
is called <strong>files</strong>. Note that all download areas are accesible,
|
|
there is no user authentication yet available.
