Al,
I was asking a couple of weeks back about the binkd outboxes. I got the impression that you might be running both binkd and binkit on the same box in order to use the binkd outbox feature to move files.

Since binkit reads the sbbs services.ini file to determine which port to listen to, and binkd uses /etc/services, are you able to set those up on two separate ports on the same machine without any conflicts?

Sorry if I misunderstood and you are not using both. Thanks!

No, I just run binkit. I have thought of that and I think that is doable but the very few times I could use an outbox I just write the path and filename to the flofile (.flo/.clo/.hlo/.dlo) in the outbound. In my case to send a file to 1:153/6809 I would enter this in 00991a99.clo in my outbound..

/sbbs/data/dirs/fido/nasa/AP180724.ZIP

Or to delete the file once it is sent..

^/sbbs/xtrn/gdyn/out/ibbs0001.zip

So far that has been enough for me but I am still hoping we will get filebox support in binkit at some point.

You can get the base name of a flo file from the linked nodes list in echocfg between the node number and name in brackets. It needs to go in the correct outbound directory for the zone the node is in.

I wish we would and I can name one other person who wants it too (being both of us are a hub level bbs, for a few nets)

That totally depends on who is hatching the file. I use htick to hatch files and in my config I use the option '-replace' which, when your processor process the tic, it will delete the old file and replace it with the new one.

I think it would be a good thing. I have tried asking Deuce in IRC but his shedule and mine seem to be at odds and I haven't managed to be there when he is.

If you have any spare time you could try to get a hold of Duece (probably
IRC would be best) and ask him if it could be added to Binkit. I'm sure he would agree too but would need the time to do it. That's not always easy to come by.

i thought LT was talking about getting fileboxes... i know they can make things
much easier for sending some of those interBBS door game packets... many of those assume frontdoor style fileattach mail and BSO doesn't do that without some assistance... in any case, tic options when hatching don't have anything to do with BSO fileboxes, AFAIK...
