Hello Paul,
PQ> There is is a FREQ server package for Linux called 'Mfreq', by Markus
PQ> Reschke. In it are a couple of bonus BASH scripts that he threw in
PQ> just for the hell of it, called: sendfile.sh & frequest.sh to send
PQ> files or make FREQ requests to send via your binkD job. In any case either
PQ> script might be used to start-off a binkD session. They need fine-tuning to
PQ> your local Binkley directory structure. Not hard; I
PQ> did it!
Those scripts sound good. Whenever I want to send a file or reuest one, I have
to figure out the hexadecimal of it all.. Oops, I didn't mean to send that
there.. ;)
PQ> The guy was just shy of genius level (he also wrote an IP address
PQ> extraction tool from a FTN nodelist, in BASH!). If you want Mfreq
PQ> just FREQ 'mfreq' from here, for the last version. Zone 2 let him go
PQ> without a fight, when he got slightly pissed-off at something minor.
I remember when he left although I don't know what was troubling him. I do have
a version of mfreq here, been meaning to set that up. I'll freq yours to make
sure I am up to date.
AI>> Yes.. :) We are testing the ability to use the binkp protocol in
AI>> a secure way. Any help, feedback or direction you can provide is
AI>> welcome.
PQ> My Idea of a secure doover is covering the keyboard with my off-hand
PQ> while I peek & poke at the ivories with t'other. :)
At least your keyboard is secure.. ;)
AI>> Do you think that would be a good thing?
PQ> The all-time best would be simply a 'crash' filebox.
Everything is on crash here except my point and one other node that has become
unresponsive. I'm hoping that node will come back to life but time will tell.
Ttyl :-),
Al
