• Binkit and Ubuntu

    From Ace@1:103/705 to All on Fri Sep 14 15:45:35 2018
    Howdy Folks;

    I'm still having headaches trying to get BInkit to work. None of my FTN nodes will connect due to "bad password" errors. 3 of the 4 I currently have are mbbs
    systems. The 4th
    is running Taurus (Lord Time). Does anybody have a working binkit setup (sbbsecho.ini) file they could share with me so I can compare to mine?

    Thanks for the help

    I'm still having headaches trying to get BInkit to work. None of my FTN nodes will connect due to "bad password" errors. 3 of the 4 I currently have are mbbs systems. The 4th is running Taurus (Lord Time). Does anybody have a working binkit setup (sbbsecho.ini) file they could share with me so I can compare to mine?

    There is one node I connect with that uses Radius/4.010/21.01.2005. I have no problem polling that node.

    Here's a bit of my sbbsecho.ini for that node and the domain setup for fidonet.

    [node:1:153/6809]
    Archive = ZIP
    PacketType = 2+
    PacketPwd = XXXXXX
    AreaFix = true
    AreaFixPwd = XXXXXX
    SessionPwd = XXXXXX
    TicFilePwd = XXXXXX
    Inbox =
    Outbox =
    Passive = false
    Direct = true
    Notify = false
    Keys = R17
    Status = Crash
    GroupHub =
    BinkpHost = xxxxxxx.zapto.org
    BinkpPort = 24554
    BinkpPoll = false
    BinkpAllowPlainAuth = true
    BinkpAllowPlainText = true
    BinkpSourceAddress =

    [domain:fidonet]
    Zones = 1,2,3,4
    DNSSuffix = binkp.net
    NodeList = /sbbs/fido/nodelist/fidonet.nodelist

    If you post your logs that contain the poll info we might be able to see what is going wrong.

    Do you have logs to share? Are the problem sessions incoming or outgoing only? Do you have problems with CRAM-MD5 or plain-password auth or both? Have your link-partners shared any log information about the failed authentications which might be helpful?

    I don't think looking at other sysop's sbbsecho.ini files is going to be all that helpful.

    I'm happy to help if and when I can. :)

    I can see you do have a password error but I have no experience with BinkIT and mbcico. I think you'll need to get together with the operator at the other end of that link and get info about what he sees there and make sure it isn't an actual password error.

    Session passwords are case sensitive.

    Have you tried using plain-password authentication instead of CRAM-MD5?
    For details, see http://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsecho.ini#node_sections (requires the latest binkit.js and load/*.js files).

    What does remote (link partner's) log output say the problem is?

    Session passwords are case sensitive.

    yes, they are... i have just spun this system up and spent yesterday adding in all my links and connecting them to the echos i knew they had been connected to... i don't know when it happened but at some point, all of my session passwords were converted to upper case (!) when i know that they had been put in lower and mixed... i knw this because it took so long and i was using my backup of my binkd.conf file from my (now dead) OS/2 installation... it was rather disconcerting to see... i still have more work to do but at least i'm back hubbing mail again...

    Yep, that's a corner of ftn setup that has caught me one or twice (or more!).

    Sorry to hear about your OS/2 install and hope you can things in your life back the way you like them without to much trouble.

    i still have more work to do but at least i'm back hubbing mail again...

    Yep, you have been missed and glad to see you back.. :)

    And a particular trap because *fix passwords and login passwords aren't case sensitive, so session passwords can catch you out. :)
