• fidonet corrupt

    From Rick Smith@1:105/10 to All on Mon Jan 23 06:11:04 2023
    Greetings All!

    Keep in mind my knowledge of sbbs is a work in progress, I am trying to sort out this fidonet area problem still. I cannot find a version 320a to upgrade to? Also I have found it is definitely not my msg lister (3rd party) I did not think it was as rest of my ftn's have no trouble. Taking advice from DM and others ive tried to sort it out, I have found that I do not have a msgs.ini any where on the server, and that smbutil cannot get status anything fidonet.

    Keep in mind my knowledge of sbbs is a work in progress, I am trying to sort out this fidonet area problem still. I cannot find a version 320a to upgrade to?

    v3.20 has not been released yet. The current development code (https://wiki.synchro.net/install:dev) is v3.20a.

    Also I have found it is definitely not my msg lister (3rd
    party) I did not think it was as rest of my ftn's have no trouble. Taking advice from DM and others ive tried to sort it out, I have found that I do not have a msgs.ini any where on the server, and that smbutil cannot get status anything fidonet.

    The msgs.cnf is the equivalent (of msgs.ini) in version 3.19 and earlier of sbbs.

    I didnt check that one specifically as scrolling through they are all the same, except for this one chunk which has different permission, I included just before it and after it so you can see what the rest all are.

    Yeah, you need to fix that. The files should be owned by whatever user sbbs is running as.
