Hi

I have a quick? for u i have a few diff nets on my win sbbs, and i am the RC and NC for a few of them, so i get a few areafix request but evertime someone sends an areafix they get back every area i have on my board, and not just
for the net there in, i have the echolist in the echolist area in echocfg but it is still sending them the whole list of all the areas on my bbs, and when they add the areas it will add them to ALL the areas witch as we know having
1 node getting areas for say 8 diff nets is not a good thing :), im sure im probly not turning something on in echocfg to get it to use the echolist in
the echolist area but im not sure what it is, any help with this would be
very greatful thanks

Easy solution...

In ECHOCFG, there is a section where you can put all the separate echolists you get from the different FTN networks. When you enter one, you can assign it a 'key'. That key can be used in the Linked Nodes section to limit that specific node to the echolist associated with that 'key'. You can use multiple keys per linked node.

It sounds like you're not using the EchoList Keys feature to limit access to specific echolists.

I just updated my echolist area, and added all the rest that i didn't have in there, I sent a netmail to a downlink to try to send a areafix, and to let me know what happens thanks.

Hi

OK i desided to test it mysalf, between my 2 bbs, one that is the main host
for my net, and the other witch is a link, so i sent an areafix from the sec bbs to the main, and the areafix was recived and tossed and sent back, but
the areafix came back with all the areas on the system and not just the ones for that net, and i have all the nets i am a member of in the echolist
section, and all net area set to a diff key, is there an option i need to enable in echocfg that im missing? i know i had it working a long time ago b4
i had a bbs crash, and i had to start over but i never got it to work since. anyway thats where im at i am probly just missing somethiong thanks

I'm guessing now that you have "Allow Nodes to Add Areas from Area File" set to "Yes". See http://wiki.synchro.net/util:sbbsecho#echocfg for details.

Hiya Terry...

Thanks for the reply ya i know about that thats how i have it setup now but its not working :( its still sending the whole list and adding them
to all the areas :(

OK.. next, in echocfg, under echomail settings, do you have the Allow nodes to add from Areafile toggled to no or yes? I have mine set as NO so there is no way if they do a %list they'll see all the areas I have in my areas.bbs. They'll only see the areas I ahve assigned them via the 'key' they get.
