  • fidonet configuration script

    From Dumas Walker@1:103/705 to All on Tue Oct 22 16:24:48 2024
    I am trying to assist a downlink on an FTN network. They used the "fidonet configuration script" to set the network up and I am not sure where it puts the data that I would normally put in data/AREAS.BBS. Is that where it lists the uplinks for FTN echoes, or do they go somewhere else now?

    Also, I am not sure how he ran it but he may have encountered a bug where it is always putting his aka for one network (in this case, FSXnet) into the scfg message base entry for all FTN echos from all networks (in this case, including Micronet). I let him know he may need to drop by here and explain that one better as it could be user error.

    Thanks!

    By default, SBBSecho has "AutoAddSubs" enabled - no area file is needed. https://wiki.synchro.net/util:sbbsecho#area_file

    Here's the script https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/exec/init-fidonet.js

    I don't think it sets AKAs for sub-boards at all.
