- home directories
/data/user/#
Automatically map to /home virtual directory on the FTP server.
- QWK pack/unpack command-lines
Change to use extension rather than specific command-lines (no "pkunzip" on
UNIX).
- new command-line/path macro scheme
Hard-coded macros, like: $(EXEC) $(DATA) $(NODE_NUM), etc.
and sysop instance-defined macros (.ini file or node.cnf?).
- garbage in private chat
research garbage (ªn½) 254, 252, 174 in private chat...
- new_chat and new_qwk
Configurable CHAT and QWK toggle options for new users.
- support >2GB message bases
support multiple data files for >2GB total data.
one file per message? Example:
data/mail.shd
data/mail.sid
data/mail.sha
data/mail/00000000.msg
data/mail/00000001.msg
(advantage: no allocation issues... no .sda file)
(disadvantage: waste clusters, large number of directory entries)
Must back-up entire sub-directory of individual message files (for mail)?
Can't use message number for filename, shared data among headers.
Use random number to reduce fexist() looping. Maybe high-bit in offset
indicates separate file? Only use separate file for > x-blocks (defined in
message base header somewhere?)
multiple large data files? Example:
data/mail.shd
data/mail.sha
data/mail.sid
data/mail_0.sdt
data/mail_0.sda
data/mail_1.sdt
data/mail_1.sda
(Advantages: retain existing logic as much as possible)
(Disadvantages: back-up filenames: mail_0.0.sdt)?
- Husky-compatible SMB library
SMAPI front-end for SMBLIB, so Husky tools can run with Synchronet?
- unified log file creation
create an API to (optionally) log each server/service (with a mask) to specific
folder/file spec.
With built-in rotation/purging?
This API would be used by sbbsctrl, sbbscon, and sbbsNTsvcs to update log files
automatically.
- JSexec console object
Create a console object implementation in jsexec for the local console (using
curses on UNIX for example). This could allow irc.js to be used as a
"stand-alone" IRC client (for example).
- configurable feedback module
Remove hard-coded feedback.* module name.
- prompt for editor option
From Sean Dennis:
Sounds strange, but a user account setting of "Ask for editor type" at the time
of entering a message would be handy (a la Telegard). Sometimes, it's
preferable to use the internal Sync message editor rather than an external
editor, but it's a bit of a pain to have to go in, change my account settings,
post the message and then go switch back.
Again, just a suggestion.
- addfiles runs upload file tests
have addfiles run upload test (e.g. for updating zip comments)
- bbs.user_changes()
Create a JS method (of bbs object?) to set current node's NODE_UDAT misc flag
or automatically read from user dbase maybe... or 2 methods?
- flash sbbsctrl icon when BBS "in use"
... when running as NT services. Need some method of IPC for this. Would be
nice to have active client window too. :-)
- mailbox limits
per security level (there is reserved space in main.cnf), number of messages or
(better yet) total bytes limit.
- user.stats.mail_waiting and user.stats.mail_bytes_waiting
Create new user.stats properties for mail waiting statistics.
- SBBSecho support alias.cfg
Add support for alias.cfg for importing netmail.
Also, allow sysop to specify the user number for the -Y option.
- auto-unforward-to-netmail after x number of hard bounces
Automatically disable a user's forwarding if the e-mails bounce.
- e-mail address over-ride
Optional user field that over-rides the default generated e-mail address (e.g.
use rob@synchro.net instead of digital.man@vert.synchro.net).
- printer support
(O)perator (P)rint message menu option, would require cross-platform printer
support.
- high CPU utilization in multi-node chat
Multiple simultaneous users/channels in use, 40% CPU utilization reported.
- SPF support in mail server
Support SPF TXT record-checking/verification (help reduce SPAM using forged
mail envelopes).
Or DomainKeys? (yahoo)
- jbod's ideas
Hello,
I have a few ideas either for the main synchronet project or even
third part applications.
A. User Storage Area with
1. Storage settings
2. With API that can be used with third part apps.
a. Perhaps tie in to personal webspaces.
b. private FTP servers for users.
c. ability for users to share files between storage spaces.
B File transfer proto that will allow a file to be emailed rather then
downloaded via X,Y,Z etc.
- message base "clipboard" and/or "bookmark" functions
Allow user to copy/save any message to their mailbox, perhaps with a bookmark
to the original message for later replying or thread follow-up.

- Feature : Users able to e-mail themselves a file from within the BBS
From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet
Can this be done?
Can this be added?
Cool idea, yes?
Basicly the file area has an option to email any file in the filebase to any
email address. Restrictions could be imposed on what email address may be
sent the file. ie. only another user of the bbs, only that users email
address, or any email address anywhere.
that way newbies dont have to mess around with a zmodem telnet client to get
files. the standard windows telnet is all they will need.

Or back to the original idea -- how about it emails the user an FTP url as
opposed to the file itself? Of course with the BBS File Description as well.
That way this wouldn't be a "Sysop Only" feature -- anyone could do it.

Just reading a few of the online help pages for scfg and at least one

Two suggestions
Have a code switch that says 'runs a linux file or create a shell

o Eliminate .cfg files in favor of .ini.
o Eliminate the sub-board ptridx nightmare.
o Eliminate the node configuration files.
o Allow integration of newslink.cfg, listserver.ini, etc (areas.bbs?) with
subs.ini (or whatever).
o Rename sbbs.ini to startup.ini supporting custom versions using hostname
syntax only.
o Eliminate many binary data (.dab) files in favor of text (csv, tab, or ini).
o Replace user.dat with user.tab:
Problems with current format: field lengths, no end-of-record marker,
no end-of-field marker for full-length fields
Use a fixed-field/record length, tab-delimited, line base format which would
import directly into databases/spreadsheets (e.g. Excel), allow for pretty
easy extensibility. Maybe variable field lengths (not as pretty) with padding
at end of line to generate fixed record length.
o Eliminate SMB .sch (CRC history) files (redundant with new .hash file
support).
o Create data/subs/<code>.ini file to store all application-specific per-sub
data (like import/export pointers for SBBSecho, newslink, etc.).
o Use SMB for file databases.
o Replace hard-coded file area functions (e.g. file listings, etc.) with JS
modules.
o Replace message (subs/mail) reading functions with JS module.
o (possibly) remove Baja support (only if there's a really good reason).
o Create a stand alone event thread (not part of telnet/rlogin server), with
separate, per host (not node) configuration.

- Suggestions
Hey, DM, I have a suggesstion. Could you make the @NODE@ pad 0's in the front
depending on the length of the last node on the bbs? If the last node on the
bbs is 10 and someone logged on line 1 and it processed @NODE@ to 1 it would
make it 01. Same with if the last node happened to be 100 then it would pad 2
0's in front of the node number if it were 1 or 1 zero if it was on node 10?
Just a suggestion.. shouldn't be too hard i dont think.
Also, when i go into twgs now using the TELGATE option the CTRL-U works outside
of line mode but it does 2 ctrl-u's when i only hit it once. Just thought I
would let you know... after it does that the first time it only will do it
once if i hit it once... wierd...

I tend to think of file_id.diz as being obsolete -- mostly due to the fact
that I rarely see it in archives which have been downloaded from non-BBS
sources. Creating a "new" archive description standard is one way to go,
but there also exist solutions that are already in use. The first one that
comes to mind is the "Portable Application Description" (PAD file). It's a
standardized XML format file used to describe the software, ownership,
distribution status, etc, etc. Because everything is tag-based you get to
choose what fields your users see. Several software repositories (such as
Simtel.net) have moved to using PAD files for upload because it allows their
upload indexing process to be automated -- that is the older version of the
software on the server can be replaced by the new version.

What are the chances of a point system for the rbl lists?

Last night during maintenance for some reason Usurper maintenance locked up.

Is there any way to set maintenance items up so they are killed if they run too

- Filebase idea
An idea for the future: providing for a separate field in file descriptions
for the name(s) of authors, specifically searchable (and maybe even
separately indexed).
I don't suppose that most sysops would make use of this ability, but I
certainly wouldn't want to dispense with the author index in a library
catalog, and I think that it would have its uses in an extensive file base,
too. It would help locate various versions of software that might exist, and
identify files that have different names but are actually the same content.
If a caller has found a good file that he likes, he could easily find
anything else by the same author.
Authors themselves never mind seeing their names in lights :-)
If the flexibility you envision in Synchronet v.4 would allow such a feature
to be configured, I would certainly enjoy seeing what it could do.
Thanks again for all your work!

■ Synchronet ■ Bauding House
- Synchro-Suggestion
Hey gang!
Not sure if I missed this in the documentation somewhere, or even if this is
possible to do.
My version of Synchronet is running on my file server at home. So typically
there will be file areas that are divided into categories like Utilities,
Games, etc.
But to keep the files seperated and knowing what each filename is, I have that
information further 'broke down' into sub directories. For example:
d:\shared\files\utilities\zone alarm
Inside that directory would be all the Zone Alarm versions that I have
downloaded from the internet.
Would it be possible to add in a future version of Synchronet, the ability to
include files in their sub directories when uploading them to the BBS? So that
if we set the files to be uploaded from the BBS as; d:\shared\files\utilities
it would read all the sub directories and upload the files from them?!?
Or is this already available somehow?!?
Making an individual thread for each sub directory would be ... enormous in my
case. Which is the reason that I'm asking and proposing this.
Anyhow, as I learn more each day about Synchronet, I want to thank everyone for
their work in it. I'm thoroughly enjoying being a Sysop again! =)

Re: Paragraph 1
Possible, but since I don't have a personal use/need for it, it's unlikely that
I'd do it. One that are simple (size/date/origin/subject) yes. Passing to
external, no. Real RE's, yes but only of PCREs were already included for some
other reason. If you create a feature request at http://bugs.synchro.net/
it'll be remembered.
Re: Paragraph 2
The simple stuff could be done at twitlist overhaul time. When you see a
twitlist .ini commit, speak up and remind us while it's fresh in one of our
minds.
Re: Paragraph 3
Definately a good idea. Probobly should be done at time of message reading
overhaul. Again, remind when you see an associated commit.

Oh, was that an unbaja'd source? :) I'll see if I can get a copy of
the original with author comments.
If someone uploads a new .rep packet before the hub has run his QWK
process (every two hours) the original is over written. Is there a
way in baja to query the server if that file exists and skip the upload
until next time?

Ok I've discovered the source of the problem. If a user uploads multiple
files via FTP using multiple connections then we end up with problems. I'm
assuming this is because the same directory is being used to process the
uploads.
I tested this by uploading 3 files at the same time via FTP. One file ended
up showing up as a 'free' download and the other two had their file_id.diz
descriptions switched with each other.
Is there a way to limit each user to one simultaneous FTP login?

The Synchronet FTP server doesn't perform file testing (i.e. run any of the

- Modifications to listserv
I don't know if this would be able to go into the listserver.js or if it
would have to be coded into the mail server itself...
however, the behavior I would talk about where mail TO is constant as being
TO the mailing list address even though the mail is being delivered to a
single users email account. The ability to do this is simple...
When the mail sever sends the mail, the RCPT TO command sets where the mail
server will send the mail, of course you know that already, however, when the
DATA command is sent, and extra headers are put in (X-Mailer, Reply-To, etc)
as part of the mail message, the message TO header can be set there as
DIFFERENT from the RCPT TO mail address given to the mail server.
So the conversation goes like this:
HELO server.com
250 mailhost.isp.com Hello server.com [124.211.3.78],
pleased to meet you
MAIL FROM: sender@isp.com
250 sender@isp.com... Sender ok
RCPT TO: member@otherisp.com
250 member@otherisp.com... Recipient ok
DATA
354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by itself
From: sender@isp.com
To: listaddress@server.com
Subject: [listname] Subject
List Text
.
Doing this, or rather a process like this, via telnet to port 25 of a mail
server produces the results.
Where would one add this ability, or would it be too much of a can of worms?

I'm running into a slight problem. I've set up JPG as a testable file type
as such:
File Extension JPG
Command Line mogrify -resize 480x272! %f
Working String Resizing image for PSP screen...
Access Requirements DIR PSP-IMG
Everything works fine as long as the user uploads the image file with their
telnet client. The problem is most of my users use FTP. When an image is
uploaded via FTP the command is not being executed. Out of curiosity I tried
setting JPG as an extractable file type with the same command line and it
would execute as long as I removed the DIR PSP-IMG access requirement. I
can't do that because it would resize uploaded images in all directories.
In doing some other FTP uploading tests it appears that Testable file type
commands are being ignored if the file was uploaded by FTP. For example, I
add comments to MP3 files that are uploaded. They appear if the MP3 was
uploaded via Telnet but not by FTP.
As an alternative I tried to set the image resizing as a Download Event
instead. Again, same result... works when downloading via telnet but not
FTP.
Any ideas on a solution or is this something requiring a source code update?

- DELFILES question w/ Linu
One of our file areas points to a drive that is mapped to a linux PC. The
file area settings are set to delete files that are 30 days or older. After
using the "addfiles" command to import the files we issued a "delfiles
linuxdir /rpt" and noticed that every file we just imported with addfiles
reported that it was uploaded 49710 days ago.
I'm just curious is this is because the files are being stored on a linux
machine and perhaps the file date is reported differently than it would be
on a Windows PC. If thats the case then I can setup a monthly event to
delete files every 30 days.

From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet
I'm posting this from Google Groups (because I'm travelling), so sorry
if this is going to the wrong sub.
I'm using Michael Ryan's (tracker1) telnet verifier script and it
rocks! It or something like it would be a great feature to see
integrated into Synchronet someday, imho.
It's nice that someone can send themselves their code, get their e-mail
and then paste it in and be done. Sending and then validating is a
quick 1 - 2 process.
Only one little problem... if the user needs to change their e-mail
address, the user is kinda left in la-la land as to what to do next,
because the menu options aren't available anymore -- at least on my
system. I know from testing that when the e-mail address is changed,
the code is sent immediately, but the user can't use any of the menu
options after changing their e-mail address. They have to reconnect
before they can validate - and there is no message stating they have
to...
If the user inputs the correct address from the beginning though, it's
a slick script.

Synchronet's Twit Filter works by processing inbound QWK packets and

watch /var/log/sbbs. This just happened to me. (Hi, Jazzman!)
Suppose you UPLOADED your twitlist with your .REP packet. Then the host

sending unwanted packets in the first place. The twitlist could be kept
as twitlist.#### or something (#### being the user-number that Jas Thud is
so eager to change) for future use, until a replacement twitlist is sent

The message you moved was apparently a reply (to message #21 in the original
sub-board). Since you moved the message to a new sub-board, which apparently
doesn't have a message #21, the thread link could not be updated when you
posted your reply to the moved reply.
The fix would be to clear the thread linkage when the message moved. I'll put
that on the to-do list.

If you're looking for a high-level method (where it automatically uses the
user's configured editor, etc.) there is no such function. You can however load
the message's text (using the MsgBase class) into a buffer, save to a file,
then use the console.editfile() function to edit the contents, load the file
contents back into a buffer an duse the MsgBase class to save the modified
message body.
It's probably not worth the effort. :-)
The C++ method that would need to be exposed via JS (and isn't) is
sbbs_t::editmsg() and it wouldn't be trivial to do since it needs an open
message as an argument. I'll add it to the to-do list however.

I'm planning on it. The only drawback is that the file area must still
be selected by number, right? What I would like to do is allow the user
(in some cases) to choose the area using a mnemonic letter or string of
several letters, which are highlighted in each menu.
By the way, the kludge I mentioned wanting to try works! Sometimes it is
slow, because it involves executing an external program.
Also by the way, I was considering the possibility of alternate file paths,
if only because the docs say somewhere that each file area defined takes
up RAM. Do you know how much RAM, or at what point this might begin to
be a problem? Vertrauen must have well over a hundred. I recall from
three years ago (before my disk crash) I was offering the contents of
at least a dozen CDs, each as a library, and most of them had at least
thirty areas. I don't recall that performance suffered. The trouble with
alternate paths is that adding more than about eighteen in scfg is a real
pain because the window keeps bouncing back to the eighteenth. Perhaps this
is a bug easily fixed?

Non-trivial tasks... good luck!
Is support for replying to carbon-copied recipients in the plan? Right now, if
I get an e-mail where I am a CC recipient and I reply, that reply only goes to
the sender, not all the recipients. So a reply, and reply all would be nice.
I know an e-mail client is better for all this... but I use the heck out of my

I've tested with tons of doors and other FOSSIL programs (e.g. file transfer
drivers, editors, etc.) and all seem happy with the latest FOSSIL. I'll add it
to the to-do list to test RG and see what the problem could be.

What you want is to throttle the sendmail thread. This isn't really a
JavaScript question, unless you want to queue up 100 e-mails at a time, wait
for an hour or so, then another hundred. It'd probably easy to just add some
kind of throttle support to the sendmail thread, which it currently doesn't
have. I'll look into adding a configuration parameter.

- Feature Request
How about an option (x) in the sysop's (and possibly users) e-mail menu to mark
a message as spam and have the originating IP auto-appended to the IP.CAN file,
as long as the IP doesn't resolve to the BBS.
I suppose it should automatically mark it for deletion at the same time.

- possible fossil issue?
From Newsgroup: alt.bbs.synchronet
I noticed that the doorgame lunatix runs very very slowly on the
synchronet fossil, but when using
netfoss it loads up right away.
i knew it had issues, i just thought it was a general issue with it
not being ran in its intended environment.
i stopped by gargoyle's landing and i saw his copy was running very
fast, and it was loading netfoss beforehand.
i gave it a try myself and its as fast as his.
is this indicative of a fossil issue with synchronet? it certainly
seems so.

Hi DM,
Today when a user register (new account) in Synchronet, he may use the

same email address).
I want - if possible - to disable this (new user = new email).

I seem to remember being able to delete the auto-message by selecting to write
an auto-message and entering a blank line - In that case, it would ask if you
wanted to delete the auto-message (at least, as the sysop). Now it's no longer
giving me that option. Is there now a new way to delete the auto-message? I'm
using Synchronet 3.16 built on June 5, 2013.
I know I can delete sbbs\data\msgs\auto.msg on my BBS machine, but I'd like to
be able to delete the auto-message remotely if I wanted to.

Hopefully there's a better way (but I don't remember there being one.)
Something like this ought to do the trick:
load('sbbsdefs.js');
// Check for unread messages for a given user number
var checkUnread = function(un) {
var unread = false;
var mb = new MsgBase('mail');
mb.open();
for(var m = mb.first_msg; m <= mb.last_msg; m++) {
var i = mb.get_msg_index(m);
if(i === null || i.to != un || i.attr&MSG_READ)
continue;
unread = true;
break;
}
mb.close();
return unread;
}
// Tell them what's what:
if(checkUnread(user.number))
print("You gots mail, bitch.");
// Or probably more useful:
if(checkUnread(user.number))

- telgate...
G'day deuce....
I'm trying to setup telgating to a weather service
(rainmaker.wunderground.com). Everything within Synch is set correctly as it
does connect but this is the message I get.
* *
* **Note: If you cannot get past this opening screen, you must use a *
* different version of the "telnet" program--some of the ones for IBM *
* compatible PC's have a bug that prevents proper connection.
And that's where it hangs. I'm not sure if telgate.js uses the internal telnet
from windows or there is something with Synch you use. I've tried connecting
from a cmd prompt and it does connect properly and allows me to navigate so I'm
pretty sure you don't use the windows client.
If you could possibly steer me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
Thanks

- Bug in hack.log?
I think I found a potential bug in the hack.log output in testing my OSSEC
integration.
Using SMTP's AUTH LOGIN, I generated the base64 information using:
echo 'username' | base64
This yielded a result of the username having a \n at the end. When hack.log
outputted this to the hack.log, it retained that \n literally, putting a
newline in there on the hack.log at that spot at the end of the username,
breaking up the 4-line format of the hack.log.
It's minor, but could break things watching that log, like OSSEC, which needs a
consistent number of lines for multiline parsing.

Found that if I specify the library short name it works, but doesn't
particularily care for amiga/linux names that do not have filename extensions.

Removing 106a65sh. (doesn't exist)
whoah! The filename is "101extcy", not "101extcy.", and the file download works
fine, so that part of the system is working fine. DELFILES should not delete
this file from the file library, as it does exist on disk.
I can re-add the deleted records by running the addfiles program, but I think
this is a 'bug', not a 'feature'. Especially when operating on linux, as files
often may not have a filename 'extension', delfiles shouldn't assume there is
one or append the '.' to the file name.

- Search message bodys (excluding tails)
Sometimes, the search text is present in a lot of tear linse or
taglines/origins and we don't want those to clog up our search results.
- Display dates in messages listings
Perhaps only when the To field is "All" or some other creative us of 80 cols.
- RLogin needs a keep-alive or GA or similar scheme
RLogin connections (at least on Windows) can go hours without being notice that
they've been terminated. If the inactivity timeouts are disable for the user
(e.g. H-restriction) or there's just no need for the server to send any text,
that can mean that the node remains "in-use" indefinitely. If we could send a
"GA" or something similar to how we do it for Telnet (e.g. OOB request for 'ss'
(screen size)), the TCP session should notice it's disconnected and terminate
gracefully. Look into urgent/OOB send for Rlogin.
- smb_open() will create 0-byte files
If you call smb_open (e.g. via fixsmb, smbutil, etc.) but mispell the base
filename or path, smb_open will create some 0-byte files and fail to open the
base.
Perhaps create and use smb_exists() or something similar (to check without
opening/creating files) and call that before smb_open() in several places.
- feature suggestion
this has been discussed before but i wanted to structure it a bit.
suggestion:
user file download box avaliable on syncweb.
acts as a batch download protocol, user selects web download, user
is provided link to a temporary url where their files are waiting for 24 hrs
until being removed by maint.
optional:
create one temporary archive that contains all the selected
downloads.
settings to set a max total file size
option to email the archive if it is under the max size limit.
i had something like this rigged for a while[batch download to temp file]; i
liked it but i dont think many people used it even though i have a lot of
downloaders.

Is there any way of reading/writing the Upload/Download Queues from within
Javascript? (eg: Synchronet C variables: batdn_total, batdn_dir, batdn_cdt,

I am currently using the bbs.batch_add_list() command to add files to the

can forsee an issue if there are more than 1 file with the same name in
different areas. A Javascript command straight to the C Source function
addotbatdl() would be great as it checks all the user limits, requirements, etc
before adding the file to the queue without searching the file areas.

One solution: keep the queues in disk file for most of their life
e.g. data/user/*.dlq, in .ini format like so:
[filename.zip]
dir=games
offset=0
etc.
Adding wold be cake. Removing the list, easy. Removing an item from the list,
not too bad. This would make it trivial for others to modify the queue(s) and
even expose them to other processes (e.g. the FTP server).
I guess do the same with the upload queue.

Digital Man,
I finally managed to have all sorted.
I had a massive mess between the sub-boards + the areas.bbs file. The amount of
stuff was just massive and I was literally getting lost in translation there.
I just restore an old copy of the areas.bbs file + removed all the sub-boards.
Waited a bit and Now it's all back to Normality. Loading pointers as it should.
It has been an interesting experience to load 2000 + boards. It was just
bringing the Box to it's knees. 1 CPU/Core was all the way up to 100% and I had
setup 10 nodes!!! So I coudn't imagine having jsut 4 simultaneous users!!
I can see the limitation now, anywhow do you see a way of getting all those
many boards and still keeping the service just working all right?
Anyway of users login in without the whole Message Point Loding issue?
Just wondering if there is a way around or I am just asking for an impossible.
Many thanks for all guys.

A new "configurable logon sound" option would be easy to add. The existing

When reading the last column, terminal behavior is not predictable (some
terminals will auto-wrap and others may not) - so getstr() avoids using the
last column. v3.16 and older versions of SBBS would not check the maxlen
argument and may cause the terminal to autowrap (again, depending on the
terminal) but this would also cause problems with editing the text entered
before the wrap (backspace, etc.) and the BBS's idea of what the user is seeing
or not seeing would get out of sync.

If you want to support multiple lines of input, the K_WRAP mode flag for
getstr() is probably what you want to use. It'll store (in a temporary buffer)
whatever text caused a wrap and use it in the next call to getstr(). So you
could call getstr(79, K_WRAP), then getstr(79) to 2 lines of 158 chars total
(for example).
There is no right-to-left type scrolling supported by getstr() for entering
lines wider than the terminal, but that would be a good/useful feature to have
(ala long string input in SCFG/echocfg/etc.).

- Internet E-Mail Development Suggestion
Good day! E-Mail security and spam prevention is becoming more relevant as
approximately 53.5% of all e-mail traffic worldwide is spam. There's been
numerous enhancements made to e-mail including Sender Policy Framework (SPF),
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC), and
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). Currently, and from everything I've
reviewed, Synchronet has no ability to embed DKIM header information into
outbound e-mail.
The advantage of DKIM is the outbound message is signed with a private key.
With the combination of the signed message and the DNS record selector
(allowing multiple subdomains to coexist), the message is effectively validated
from source. When the receiver reviews the header and inspects the public DNS
record, the message is validated.
More information can be found at dkim.org. Within Synchronet, I'd like the
ability to embed DKIM into the outbound message header. The creation of the
certificates (public/private) should remain in the hands of the individual
SysOp (OpenSSL, Cygwin, PuttyGen, etc.) but the private key location and the
hashing of the message (and placement into the header) should become a function
of the Internet E-Mail module.
What do you think?

I have no idea how this happened, but your guess was absolutely correct. The QWK board with Conf # 2010 was FSX_GEN. I know that
I didn't make that particular change myself, and am now curious how that may have occurred via anything else I might have done. Is
it possible that when I took the Dove-Net Sysops Echo and did the ^X on it that it would have altered the QWK Hub Sub-board setting
since the message area may not have technically existed at that point?
I have set the QWK Conf # back to the correct msg base, and I apologise for the mess it might have created on anyone else's system.
I'll keep an eye out for further unexpected changes.
DM, if moving a message base from one group to another has no really simple or sane path in SCFG (without manually checking up on
anything else that might be relevant, manually moving/renaming files, etc.), would it be prudent to put in a feature request to ask
for a proper SCFG message area move option that handles all the possible tie-in problems and file renaming, etc?

Hey DM,
To add to your loooong list of features (unless its there and I havent seen

When I login, as I'm sysop I'm also prompted for the sysop password. Anyway
that can be "not asked during login".
I've noticed if I'm idle for a period of time, and try to do a sysop function,
I'm re-asked to enter the sysop password to do it (which I think is great) - so
it would be great, if I can login with just user/password and only be prompted
for the sysop password if I do something sysopy.
(And thus, I'm treated as a normal user - at that level until I attempt to do
something that needs the sysop password.)
And for clarification, other users should never have the opportunity to be
prompted for the sysop password, unless they are configured as one...

I see it is possible to have a semafore created when a message is posted to a sub. Natually this works when posting from the BBS, but it also works when calling msgbase.save_msg() (which maybe how the BBS is doing it anyway).
I've noticed though, when sbbsecho tosses a message into a sub, that the semafore is not created - is there a way to get it to create it as well?
I'm wanting to trigger an event when a message is added to the sub - regardless of if the message is entered locally, or comes in from a upstream/downstream source.

I know and it would be. But I'm hoping it will at least display those message a
bit better than what it does now - particuarly when they are the first chars
of a message.
Obviously if there are additional cursor movement chars in the message, then
the results may not be as anticipated.
Or perhaps when a message is known to have ASCII cursor/screen controlls in it,
then the reader clears the screen and displays it as is - and pauses at the
end (with the cursor moved to the bottom of the screen before displaying the
menu options).

Possible, but seems like a hack. That's just a home-cursor (top-left) sequence. An ESC 2J (clear screen) will usually do the same, as would an ESC [1;1f (gotoxy) or an ESC [255A (cursor-up).

Unfortunately, there are lot of ANSI escape sequences which sometimes move the
cursor outside of the "view port" in your message viewer. Yet, if you want to correctly display animated ANSI or ANSI with optimizations using cursor positioning, you'll need them.

Your time has been reduced due to an upcoming event on Wed Dec 31 1969 06:00 pm
Now, everything is correct except the upcoming event date. I'm assuming since I'm sysop and was logged in at the time an event was supposed to run, or ran, the date is showing up wrong.

- Configurable list of environment variables to set for bbs-xtrn's
A list of environment variable=value's that are set when executing external program's from the terminal server (e.g. SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dummy).
Perhaps make a separate ctrl/*.ini file, similar to cgi_env.ini (this file supports prepending/appending existing environment variables too).
Or just make another section in the sbbs.ini, e.g. [xtrn-env].
Right now, the immediate obvious use is to set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dummy in the default configuration so nobody has issues running SCFG as a door, for example, due to SDL 1.2 issues (libcaca, etc.)

I'll take it as a feature request but currently, no.

i know you told me how to do this a long time ago, but i lost
the post.
can you tell me what code to put into newslink to search through the entire
msg and then trash it if it finds a string? i want it to eliminate
google groups posts because that looks like where this stuff is coming from
sometimes.
also i have a feature request:
body.can for entire msg body filtering.
thanks,

I didn't get the forwarded message, but I do see this here.
It'd be helpful to know how to reproduce the issue, if that is known by the
original reporter of the problem.

- Areafix suggestion
Suggestion for future development - more options for the %RESCAN
command in Areafix as a rescan by number of messages or date. It
would be easier for Point users.
Is boring to have to retrieve a few messages from an area and
receive a huge amount of messages.

- Telnet IAC escaping in output_thread()
Having the telnet IAC escaping in the higher level console output functions (e.g. rputs, outchar), results in the escaped IACs being sent to spy sockets/buffers too (which aren't necessarily using Telnet).
Ideally, the IAC expansion would occur just before the data was placed into the Telnet-client socket in output_thread() and the expanded buffer *not* sent to any spy-sockets.
- chat_sec.js
make the chat section a configurable loadable module in SCFG->System->Loadable Modules.
- Feature Request / Suggestion - ip.can
DM,
I wanted to suggest a potential feature request for the ip.can filter file.
It is my understanding that this file currently can take IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (including IPv4 in CIDR notation).
As an SBBS sysop on Linux, I make extensive use of firewalld to manage the iptables/nftables sorcery behind the scenes to keep things neat and tidy. I use a series of ipsets to manage whitelisting/blacklisting, and ip.can and ip-silent.can make ideal ipset feeder files to have cron update my firewall configuration hourly. Between SBBS built-in denial of service/hack filtering, and firewalld, I'm able to avoid having a more complicated fail2ban configuration, but there is one problem:
firewalld wants an ipset to only consist of ipv4 addresses and cidr notations. ipv6 addressing and cidr notations must be in separate ipset. So for my BBS firewall, I maintain separate ipv4 vs. ipv6 whitelists and blacklists on my host firewall.
While I can write scripts to parse and separate the addressing, it would be pretty neat to have an ipv4.can, ipv4-silent.can, ipv6.can, ipv6-silent.can to keep it all clean.
By suggesting this feature, I accept your scorn if you feel this is unworthy of your time.
Thanks,

- Feature request for hatchit.js
Hello Digital Man,
I just used hatchit.js to hatch a file and it worked well. Sometimes when hatching files I need to replace an existing file and hatchit didn't ask me for the filename to replace.
Is it possible hatchit.js can be modified to ask for the filename to replace and add a "Replaces" line to outgoing tic files when there is an existing file to replace?
Ttyl :-),

Re: Re: NodeX to Node/X directories
By: Tracker1 to deon on Mon Jan 25 2021 10:37 am
Had another quick look and noticed you werent doing any special mounts with the node dirs?
I run one of my SBBS servers in a docker swarm, with "replicas: 2". One instance is responsible for nodes 1-5, and the other nodes 6-10. (Its my game server). In my config, I'm sharing the nodes/ dir across the instances.
I'm not sure what is needed for one node to see another nodes files. Chat
maybe?
Rob, in case you are reading this, it would be great for things like spy, which rely on sockets, that either
* Spying on another node (that is on another host) that Spy says "no" because it cannot spy on using the socket. In my case, node 6-10 knows node 1-5 is another SBBS instance.
or
* Spying on another node (that is on another host), is done over IP?

- Moving Files
Within javascript is there a way to move a file to another area? I've seen
bbs.list_info_file (with FI_REMOVE), but that requires more user interaction.
I'm looking for something more list the sbbs_t::movefile function in
listfile.cpp, just to move a file, when the old and new areas are already
known.
Thanks

Glad to be of service... :)
I went to delete the extra entry and noticed that one of my othernets linked
to all of my file areas, including Fido and my "other" othernets.
I'm not sure if it's a problem or if traditionally access to file areas is
limited to the network the AKA belongs to. If so, it might be helpful down
the road to have filefix be able to limit visibility to specific file lists,
akin to the way that areafix has separate backbone files with flags.
... Am I any closer to finding what I'm looking for?
