MBSEBBS History.
|
|
|
|
The good news is at the bottom :-)
|
|
|
|
v0.00 Started work on the Rapidbbs sources to make new structures,
|
|
headerfiles and makefiles.
|
|
The whole thing will include Fidonet echomail and tic file processing.
|
|
|
|
v0.01 Until v0.06 lots of sourcecode fixes, bugs removed which became
|
|
visible after writing the new header and makefiles. 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.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
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:

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 <CR> 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
|
|

|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
|
|
mbmsg:
|
|
Added logging when a segmentation fault occurs which was the
|
|
last message area.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
is always forced now.
|
|

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.

|
|
59 and 60.

|
|
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:

|
|
global:
|
|
Added #pragma pack(1) to ~/src/include/libs.h so that all
|
|
datafiles are now compatible over several hard and software
|
|

|
it's run on a new day, week or month.
|
|
|
|
warning:
|
|
To upgrade the databases, enter the setup for message areas,
|

|
|
All databases that can be packed after deleting records can
|
|
do this now. During update those databases area sorted. This

|
is not for the message areas, files areas and the userbase.
|
|
These files may not be packed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.27/a 29-Oct-1998
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Changed the database format for the files. Added support for
|
|
long filenames. The .tic file area is also stored in the
|
|
records to make the rescan function work later.
|
|
The files database must be rebuild for this release!!!
|
|
The BBS and the rest of the programs now use different
|
|
loglevels.
|
|
Changed the sourcefile distribution name to mbseN_NN.tgz.

run mbfile check -debug to fix the files references.
|
|
|
|
dbase.a:
|
|
Functions added to connect and disconnect nodes from echimail
|
|

|
prevent corrupting the nodes.data file from now on.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Added a function to convert ifcico addresses to internal fido
|
|
addresses.
|
|
Removed a pointer bug in the aka2str function.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Added most AreaMgr and FileMgr functions. 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 <area> 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:
|
|

|
|
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. Saratxaga and T. Tanaka. I hope the Zmodem problems will
|
|
now be solved.
|
|
Added Hydra filetransfer protocol.
|
|
Removed Janus, it wasn't implemented anyway.
|
|
Corrected modem init routine.
|
|
Implemented aftercall function.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Removed setup to disable Janus protocol.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.29/b4 29-Dec-1998.
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Changed the Makefiles. Now only in ~/src/CONFIG you can place
|
|
extra defines.
|
|
Added compile switches -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings
|
|
-Wstrict-prototypes. This gave a lot of code cleanup, maybe some
|
|
strange errors are gone.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Corrected the repeative log counter.
|
|
Included in nlindex.c HAS_BSD_DB
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Improved ttyio logging, maybe we can better see what is going
|
|
wrong when transfering files.
|
|
EMSI compatibility protocol now gives Hydra first, then Direct
|
|
Zap.
|
|
Added file transfer counters to Hydra. Changed Hydra logging
|
|
a bit.
|
|
|
|
mbindex:
|
|
Changed nodebld.c to inlcude HAS_BSD_DB
|
|
|
|
mbuser:
|
|
Did some screen output when it was in quiet moded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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
|

|
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.
|

|
|
then the maximum size of that .pkt and creates a fresh one.
|
|
|
|

|
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
|
|

|
|
written by Jan van.de.Werken.

|
|
|
common.a:

|
|
|
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.
|
|

|
|
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.

|
|
that.

|
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.
|
|

|
|
|
|
upgrade:
|

Remove $MBSE_ROOT/bin/fbgen.
|
|
If you want to switch off CFG.dospath, be sure your outbound
|
|

|
|
"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:

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.

Corrected a syntax error in the maint script.
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|

The areamgr and filemgr names are not hardcoded anymore,
|

|
|
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

Check in mbsetup nodes->mail that "ARCmail a..z" is off
|
|
for nodes that can't handle that.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|

The scanout function now removes truncated ARCmail files
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
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.
|

check the age.
|
|
In nodes->mail setup added a switch to allow a..z
|
|
ARCmail archives extensions.

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.
|

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

|
|
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.
|

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 excisting 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 excistance 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.
|
|
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. They show up the
|
|
local time now also.
|
|
Added the global editor for the tic areas.
|
|
Added in menu 1.3 a switch to leave to case for .flo files
|
|
original, ie. not forcing it to uppercase.
|
|
Added menu creation in menus setup.
|
|
Added setup to suppress the creation of a door.sys dropfile,
|
|
and the ability to write the years in four digit format in
|
|
the door.sys file. Newer doors seem to understand this.
|
|
Added delete menu item in menu setup, finally.
|
|
Added menu item move.
|
|
The menu editor now shows the autoexec menus with the
|
|
lightred lowercase "a" at the selection key position.
|
|
When a new config.data is created, the default loglevels
|
|
are now set to normal values.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Forgot to implement the NoTCP global and per node flag.
|
|
If you are not permanent connected to the net, use these
|
|
to prevent the use of internet protocols.
|
|
|
|
mbmon:
|
|
Screen 5 now calls Nopper() to keep the server alive.
|
|
Corrected screen display numbers 5 and 6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.33.10 24-Jan-2000
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Changed version numbering. From now on, minor odd numbers
|
|
are testversions, even are stable. Same as with the
|
|
Linux kernel.
|
|
Changed the setup script, it should now detect SuSE systems.
|
|
This is not tested.
|
|
|
|
update:
|
|
Remove (as root) all bbs users from /etc/ftpusers. They are
|
|
not needed (and never were).
|
|
Compile and install this release.
|
|
Kill mbsed (killall -9 mbsed).
|
|
Edit $MBSE_ROOT/etc/mbsed.conf, remove the line with logdebug
|
|
and the commentlines above.
|
|
Start mbsed again (/opt/mbse/bin/mbsed).
|
|
Then start mbsetup, open the global menu 1, and exit. Answer
|
|
yes to update.
|
|
If you have any echomail passthru areas, give them a
|
|
message base path. Passthru doesn't exist anymore.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
The file_crc function now supports the usleep(1) code
|
|
for background processing.
|
|
The logfunctions now replace <cr> and <lf> with spaces.
|
|
|
|
msgbase.a:
|
|
Corrected a bug in the Pack function when the headerfile
|
|
was corrupt. If the header is corrupt, the index file is
|
|
used to find the right recordposition again. Errors are
|
|
logged.
|
|
|
|
mbsed:
|
|
Removed the logdebug loglevels. Logging is fixed now.
|
|
Changed the answers for the SBBS command.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Added a global setup screen for the ftp server.
|
|
Added a switch in the menus setup for doors to set a flag
|
|
to create door.sys files for dosemu/Vmodem use.
|
|
Revised the message area setup screen.
|
|
Changed text's in global mailer setup to indicate that the
|
|
mailer flags are for TCP/IP connections.
|
|
|
|
mbuseradd:
|
|
Doesn't add usernames anymore to /etc/ftpusers. This is not
|
|
needed for standard ftp security.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Added send filerequest to the binkp protocol. In single
|
|
batch mode, you need to connect a second time to get the
|
|
request response. This is normal single batch behaviour.
|
|
Nodelist flag for Binkp mode is XX. (For POTS/ISDN XA).
|
|
Added received filerequest to the binkp protocol. In single
|
|
batch mode this will put the files on hold. Multiple batch
|
|
mode works now but is only tested against another mbcico
|
|
mailer.
|
|
Calling internet nodes could not use a forced hostname or
|
|
IP address. Fixed. Added search in nodes setup phone
|
|
fields for hostname/IP address, search in nodelist location
|
|
entry (2 nodes on the world do that, I needed one of them),
|
|
and the IP notation in the nodelist phone field (000-...).
|
|
Hostnames after the flags are not resolved, hostnames
|
|
should be in the system name field.
|
|
In the binkp protocol the flags from the global mailer
|
|
setup are sent as our flags.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:
|
|
The next two pathes are from Ken Bowley.
|
|
Changed the fullscreen editor with patches from Ken Bowley.
|
|
Improved behaviour for inserting and deleting text.
|
|
Changed the door.sys creation, if the COM port option in
|
|
the menu files is on, the door.sys file writes COM1 in
|
|
it with a portspeed of 115200. This is for running doors
|
|
under dosemu and a patched Vmodem.
|
|
Made newmail scan and other checks for personal mail case
|
|
insensitive.
|
|
The fullscreen editor source now has an extra define FSEDIT
|
|
to enable heavy debugging logs.
|
|
It didn't respect the BBS closed status on lines that did
|
|
not honor ZMH status.
|
|
Removed "Re:" debug logging from mail.c
|
|
|
|
mbfido:
|
|
Corrected the queue path for tic passthru areas, the
|
|
destination path missed a /.
|
|
Delete file from the inbound with passthru areas is now at a
|
|
later point.
|
|
Removed the message passthru switch, you needed and area
|
|
anyway.
|
|
|
|
mbstat:
|
|
Corrected screen output when it was waiting for the bbs to
|
|
close.
|
|
|
|
mbftpd:
|
|
New! Special ftp server for MBSE BBS. Should use BBS users
|
|
access restrictions etc. Doesn't work yet so don't use it.
|
|
It is included in the distribution, but not compiled or
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
v0.33.11 07-Mar-2000
|
|
|
|
upgrade:
|
|
Change the CLIENT line in ~/etc/mbsed.conf, the authcode must
|
|
now come behind the hostname. Remove the AUTHCODE line.
|
|
Kill the old mbsed, start the version from this version.
|
|
The same changes must be made to ~/etc/client.conf
|
|
Run mbsetup, goto 1.17 and 1.18 and set it up for your system.
|
|
Check the QWK area names in the message areas: if there are
|
|
areanames longer then 13 characters edit them so that they
|
|
fit in the 13 characters limit. In previous versions this field
|
|
was 20 characters.
|
|
|
|
general:
|
|
Added global config to create www pages for downloads.
|
|
Included the mbftpd directory in the main Makefile. Don't use
|
|
the mbftpd program yet!
|
|
Updated the documentation, some parts were 2 versions behind.
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
Execute external programs now lowers process priority to 15,
|
|
and restores to 0 after execution. This should make running
|
|
(de)compressors and other utilities "nicer".
|
|
If a client fails server authorization, it will now proper
|
|
close the server connection.
|
|
|
|
mbsed:
|
|
The syntax of the client lines in mbsed.conf is changed,
|
|
multiple lines are now allowed, hostnames and authcodes must
|
|
be on one line now.
|
|
It is now possible to close the connection when not authorized.
|
|
Minimized the number of response codes. Updated the
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
mbsetup:
|
|
Added global setup menu for the html pages creation.
|
|
The length of the QWK area names in the message areas setup
|
|
is changed from 20 to 13 characters for the QWK specifications.
|
|
Removed selection of menu number 216 from the menu editor.
|
|
|
|
mball:
|
|
The index command now also creates index.html files for web
|
|
clients. The index files are stored in the download directories.
|
|
If a download directory contains .gif or .jpg files then
|
|
thumbnails will be created and the thumbnails will be used in
|
|
in the index.html files.
|
|
You need "convert" of the ImageMagick package to use that
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
mbfile:
|
|
Added 'index*' to the list of filenames that isn't checked
|
|
with the mbfile check option.
|
|
Pack and Move file functions will now also delete or move the
|
|
thumbnail files.
|
|
|
|
mbcico:
|
|
Changed the binkp receiver timeout code to prevent a hanging
|
|
receiver. This only happens sometimes on a Sun Sparc (and
|
|
still does).
|
|
Changed the modem chat logging. It is now visible what is
|
|
really send and received from to the modem.
|
|
|
|
mbsebbs:

|
|
The goldnode compiler is called if it is in $MBSE_ROOT/bin.
|

|
|
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:
|
|

Two new global switches, don't regate and allow control
|
|
messages.

|
|
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.

|
|
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:
|

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
|

|
not in Fidonet zone 2.
|
|
|
|
general:

|
|
Datagram sockets are used instead of TCP stream sockets.

|
|
Removed installing mbse as port in /etc/services
|
|
|
|
common.a:
|
|
The diskfree check now ignores a mounted filesystem at /boot
|

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:

|
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 excist and
|
|
fills it with default parameters.
|

Note: the internet connection status is for future use.
|
|
|

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.

|
|
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.

Added a hack to try to process .tic files that are not lowercase
|
|

Added support for a system alias file to convert fidonet
|
|
addresses to RFC addresses.
|

|
|
|
|
mbmon:

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.

|
|
to the Server Statistics screen.

|
|

|
|
In golded.inc AKAMATCHECHO is no YES.
|
|
In golded.inc writing the AKAMATCH aka's other then fidonet

|
|

|
|
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
|
|
is sent, most binkp implementations need this to detect EOF.
|
|
We don't log received empty frames anymore, we just drop them.
|
|
|
|
mbpasswd:
|
|
Added check that username and password may not be longer then
|
|
16 characters.

|
|
Error messages now go to stderr.
|
|
Increased stringslength of some internal variables to PATH_MAX.
|
|
Check all arguments that they are no longer then 80 characters.
|
|
The user is now the owner of his homedir. In this homedir a
|
|
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:
|
|

|
|
were installed.

Scanned netmail from point addresses created with GoldED are
|
|

|
|
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

The syntax to call mbmail is changed.
|
|
|
|
mbmail:
|
|
Obsolete, the functions are now in mbfido.
