Hi Guy's, need a little help here.

I have done the Binkit V2 upgrade and all seems ok to my normal Fido hub.

So I have been trying to join fsxnet and have configured everything.

I know my Dan's fsxnet hub is Mystic BBS so I have used BinkpAllowPlainText=true as
suggested, YET I see from the logs that Binkit is still trying to do CRAM-MD5 Auth.

It is also using the wrong source address so I set BinkpSourceAddress=21:4/124 as well, yet it still uses my Fido address? What is going on here?

Here is the stanza in sbbsech.ini (binkit.ini is gone after the upgd)

Can anyone suggest what is going on here?

P.S. I have also tried without those keys options set, and also tried whilst still using

Thx.

Hi Guy's, need a little help here.

I have done the Binkit V2 upgrade and all seems ok to my normal Fido hub.

So I have been trying to join fsxnet and have configured everything.

I know my Dan's fsxnet hub is Mystic BBS so I have used BinkpAllowPlainText=true as
suggested, YET I see from the logs that Binkit is still trying to do CRAM-MD5 Auth.

Right, "PlainText" references to encryption of the session data, not the Authentication.

Outbound CRAM-MD5 has *no* known issues/incompatibilities with Mystic or any other mailers.

It is also using the wrong source address so I set BinkpSourceAddress=21:4/124 as well, yet it still uses my Fido address? What is going on here?

I'm not sure. I haven't needed used that particular setting myself (works fine without it and I'm in both FidoNet zone 1 and fsxnet zone 21).

Here is the stanza in sbbsech.ini (binkit.ini is gone after the upgd)

You probably want to remove that "Route" setting. The way you would use Route would be more like this (if you wanted to route all netmail in zone 21 through this link):

[21:ALL]
Route=21:4/100

Do you have your zone 21 address configured in SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Addresses?

That could just be because you're sending the zone 3 address instead of the zone 21 address (and he doesn't have your zone 3 address configured as a link or its using a different password).

I am having a similar issue with the same hub in fsxnet. I just replied to a message in fsxnet and this is the log..

Do you have your zone 21 address configured in SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Addresses?

Thanks Rob, you nailed it as usual 8-)

All fixed. 8-)

That looks good and *should* work. Try removing the '@fsxnet' from the [node:21:4/100@fsxnet] section name and see if it then works.
