  • AKAs for connections

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to ALL on Sat Feb 6 11:21:00 2021
    I have a hub that has request that all nodes be sure to have all three of
    their network AKAs enabled on our end. I do not see an easy way to do this with sbbsecho/binkit.

    In sbbsecho.ini:

    [node:123:123/1@somenet]
    Name =
    Comment = somenet hub
    Archive = ZIP
    PacketType = 2+
    PacketPwd =
    AreaFix = false
    AreaFixPwd =
    SessionPwd = password
    TicFilePwd = password
    Inbox =
    Outbox =
    Passive = false
    Direct = false
    Notify = false
    Keys = SOME
    Status = Normal
    GroupHub =
    BinkpHost = their.host.net
    BinkpPort = 24554
    BinkpPoll = true
    BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
    BinkpAllowPlainAuth = false
    BinkpAllowPlainText = true
    BinkpTLS = false
    BinkpSourceAddress =
    [node:123:ALL]
    Name =
    Comment =
    Archive = ZIP
    PacketType = 2+
    PacketPwd =
    AreaFix = false
    AreaFixPwd =
    SessionPwd =
    TicFilePwd =
    Inbox =
    Outbox =
    Passive = false
    Direct = false
    Notify = false
    Keys =
    Status = Normal
    Route = 123:123/1
    GroupHub =
    BinkpHost =
    BinkpPort = 24554
    BinkpPoll = false
    BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
    BinkpAllowPlainAuth = false
    BinkpAllowPlainText = true
    BinkpTLS = false
    BinkpSourceAddress =

    I need to also add 123:123/0 and 123:123/10. I don't see a place to do
    that in sbbsecho.ini or in the config tool, short from adding complete new entries for the other two and setting them both up as BinkpPoll = false.
    Also, if I did that, would netmail for /0 and /10 still go to /1?

    Is there a simpler way to do this?

    Thanks!

    because it is done in the FTN address list in scfg->Networks->fidonet... the System Addresses field should contain all of your FTN addresses for that system... be sure to not move the existing first one, though... that's the one that determines the default zone of your outbound directory...

    Yes, that's how you do it. Not sure *why* you would need to do that, but that's how it would be done.

    Also, if I did that, would netmail for /0 and /10 still go to /1?

    If them set to Route to /1, yes.

    Is there a simpler way to do this?

    Uh, don't add the links for the AKAs. I'm not sure what that's trying to accomplish.

    I am not sure, either, unless he plans to sometimes poll without using the
    /1 address?
