Post by mark lewisregarding the actual config file yet... IF it gets posted, i hope they
remember to obfuscate any passwords they may have in it ;)
hehe.. thanks, sure I'll post it here.. FWIW.. a similar one works fine here on
my linux system with obviously linux-style paths... He says he's seeing
password errors, along with the error I posted earlier and that makes
absolutely NO sense to me...

# Define shared aka

# share <shared-address> <node1> [<node2> ...]
# example:
#share 2:999/999 2:5020/52 2:5020/238
#
# Check the sender's address in incoming pkt's, change the file extension
# to <ext>, if the check failed
# check-pkthdr [all|secure|unsecure|listed|unlisted] <ext>
#
# 'all' applies to all nodes
# 'listed' applies, if at least one aka is defined by 'node' keyword
# 'secure' applies, if at least one aka is password-protected
#
# It's ok to specify .<ext> as well as <ext> - the dot before ext is ignored
# Flag order: -nohc (for any aka), -hc (for any aka), check-pkthdr flag
#
#check-pkthdr secure .sec
#
# Define a link:
# This describes where all your downlinks get listed.
# node [[z:]n/]n[.p][@domain] [-nr|-nd] [-md] [-hc|-nohc] [-ip|-sip] [{ho
sts|-} [{pwd|-} [flavour [{obox|-} [{ibox|-}]]]]]
#
# * All non-"-" fields will redefine the values specified for the same node
# earlier in config.
# * Flavour is one of i, c, d, -, h; and is the flavour for the outbound
# filebox ("obox").
# * Binkd sends from obox all non-dir entries NOT matching ".*" wildcard.
# EVERY TIME YOU PUT A FILE INTO OBOX CHECK IF BINKD WILL BE ABLE TO
# UNLINK IT. Otherwise, the session will never end.
# * Default for ibox is inbound or inbound-nosecure depending on the pwd field.
# * Default for port is oport.
# * `-nr' stands for `Not Reliable Link', this works only on outbound calls
# with another binkp/1.1 mailer. The option solves the only problem with
# binkd having no enough time to start receiving of a file from
# non-zero offset before IP link's down, so don't use it unless you
# have this problem -- really not effective
# * `-nd' means "No Dupe Mode", this works only on outbound calls with
# another binkd 0.9.3 or higher. The option solves problem with
# duplicating files while losts carrier but link is a bit slower
# then with "-nr" option
# * `-md' means "Must have CRAM-MD5". This works only with nodes with
# binkd or argus supported this method. Do not set it if your link
# can use the old version of binkd.
# * `-nomd' - do not use CRAM-MD5 for this node (send plain text password)
# * `-hc' enables check of sender address in pkt header for this node/aka
# (overrides the setting of the 'check-pkthdr' statement)
# * `-nohc' disables check of sender address in pkt header for this node/aka
# (overrides the setting of the 'check-pkthdr' statement)
# * `-ip' means "Remote IP check". In this case the node will be
# rejected, if it comes not from one of its IP-addresses.
# Remote AKAs with bad IP-address will be dropped on outgoing calls.
# * `-sip' means "Strict remote IP check". Like "-ip", but node will be
# rejected, if no IP-addresses allowed ("-" or not resolved).
# Remote AKAs with bad IP-address will be dropped on outgoing calls.
# * Hosts is a list in form
# host1[:port1][;host2[:port2]] ...
# * Asterisk (`*') in the host list forces Binkd to perform
# 1:2/3.4 --> p4.f3.n2.z1.fidonet.net translation for a node's
# Fido-address and lookup IP for the resulting FQDN in DNS.
# Root domain part ("fidonet.net") can be changed with root-domain
# keyword.
#
#node 5047/888 - password
#node 5047/999 hostname;* password i c:\\bbs\\boxes\\to999 c:\\bbs\\boxes\\from
999
#
# Below is the node def for my system so BinkD knows where Prism is.
# Other downlinks can go below this first entry:
#
# node <***@fidonet> <domain> <password> <c for Crash, or h for hold>
node 1:261/***@fidonet filegate.net:24555 passwd c
#
# Default node flags. Binkd will call an unlisted node if "defnode" defined.
