thank you, sir...
No problem. It's unfortunate that I have to touch base in so many places
to
add an option like that. Perhaps if echocfg was re-written in JS that
would
allow more code reuse between BinkIT and echocfg. Not going to happen anytime soon (if every) - but it's an idea.
iknow what you speak of... i wish i was more fluent in javascript than i am... i did alright with my mods to tickit and tickitcfg but they were pushing my limits with having to look up everything as well as trying to find what was available in sbbs' libraries... that's not a bad thing... it is just an old mind not quite up to learning new languages...
FWIW: one of the reasons i asked for this is because binkd allows it...
Okay. Hopefully it's useful to somebody someday. I made it global because that's the only way to tweak the capabilities/options for incoming connections.
that's how binkd does it, too... the following is from the debian wheezy man page for binkd... note the -r and -m options :)
-C Binkd running with this option will reread the configuration file if it is changed. The modification time of the configuration file is checked every 60 seconds and on every incoming and outgoing connection.
-c Start client only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client.
-D Run Binkd as a daemon (cannot be used for client-only mode).
-i Run Binkd from inetd.
-P Poll a node. An empty *.ilo file in the outbound will be created, which will force Binkd to connect to and to receive mail from the node ( Binkd will also add "Node node * -" record to the table-of-nodes in Binkd's memory if there is no entry for the node in the configuration file).
-p Start client manager, process polls, quit if the queue seems to be empty after the next rescan. Implies -c.
-q Quiet mode. Turns off printq, conlog and percents statements of configuration.
-r Disable crypt traffic.
-s Start server only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client.
-v Be verbose. This flag can be specified multiple times for even higher verbosity. Binkd -v will dump binkd's version and quit. Binkd -vvv binkd.cfg will dump binkd's configuration and still work.
-m Disable CRAM-MD5 authorization. Implies -r.
-n doing not call or listen (only check cfg and make polls)
-h Print help message.
thanks again!

Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it wrong...
