Nodelist

[Keith Matthews]

Hi,

I have BinkD 0.9.9 running on Linux and installed in the usual /usr/local tree.

My reading suggests that instead of using the normal NODELIST BinkD makes use
of a special format version which it reads from a file called BinkD.txt.

Is this correct?

If so where should I put the file? /usr/local/etc or /usr/local/sbin

Thanks for any help 8-)

You may get (or build by self) RPM or DEB package and install it. Then binkd
will be installed into /usr/sbin

Correct but not ideal :)

If binkd is used in system-wide node: /etc/binkd or /etc/fido
If binkd is used per-user individually: ~/.fido or ~/.binkd


Ideal solution: use DNS zone generated from nodelist like
nodelist.grumbler.org (created and supported by me)

Hi Stas,

Thanks for the reply 8-)

I can't find a ready made .spec file to create an RPM so I will try taking the
DEB and using "alien" to create an RPM from that 8-) Thanks.

I'll have a try with the BinkD.txt first.

I tried nodelist.grumbler.org and the name did not resolv 8-( so I went to your
ftp area on grumbler.org and pulled v1.6 of the nodelisttodns pkg.

I'll have a play 8-)

Thanks again.

Oooh, sorry. binkd.spec is presented in "current" binkd only:
=====
$ ls src/binkd/binkd/mkfls/unix/binkd.spec
src/binkd/binkd/mkfls/unix/binkd.spec
=====

An "A" record is not resolv, true. But:
==== Begin "|host -t soa nodelist.grumbler.org" ====
nodelist.grumbler.org has SOA record srv.grumbler.org. hostmaster.grumbler.org.
20101880 86400 3600 604800 3600
==== End "|host -t soa -t ns nodelist.grumbler.org" ====
==== Begin "|host -t ns nodelist.grumbler.org" ====
nodelist.grumbler.org name server srv.grumbler.org.
==== End "|host -t ns nodelist.grumbler.org" ====

And you make your own zone - this is best :)

That version kept running out of aka's on my system, so I eventually updated to
version 1.0.

Yes, it can use binkd.txt or a file you specify in the .cfg file on the
' include path/BINKD.TXT ' line. My file is named BINKD.TXT (that's how it
was named in the example, and I didn't change it. You can use upper or lower
case.

Yes.

Mine is in the same directory as the binkd binary file, but you should give
binkd the whole path to the file in the 'include' line in your config file. For
example:

# '#' lines are comments
# Include a file
#
include /home/bbs/binkd/BINKD.TXT

Hi Janis,


Thanks for the help, that clears it up nicely.

One question though.

Where did you find Binkd v1.0?

Hi Janis,

Where did you find Binkd v1.0?

http://www.filegate.net/r50/aftnbinkd/bcw81125.rar

Description:
bcw81125.rar binkd/win32 1.0a-521 & binkd/win9x 1.0a-521 Compiled on November
25, 2008 by Michael Dukelsky using MS Visual Studio .NET 2003. Different
variants of build.

That should do it.. there are probably other links which I don't know about :)
If you need a version for linux or some other OS, check out the files at
www.filegate.net/r50/aftnbinkd/

Post by Keith Matthews
Thanks again for the help 8-)

No problem. Perhaps someone here knows of a different link that's even newer.
check out the FAQ published in this echo. The file distribution area,
aftnbinkd was coming in to my site with new updates, but I'm not sure if the
files here are current.

Take care,
Janis

Whereever you like, with whatever filename you like; you reference it like
any other included file by using the "include" parameter in the configuration
file. The contents are just the usual node entries; if you only have a few
(like for a point or a node with few links), you don't even really need a
separate file. Also; in case you were unaware, there is a file distribution
for a BinkD formated nodelist file that's distributed via a file echo
(I-BINKD)...
