  • Nodes without binkp in nodelist entry?

    From poindexter FORTRAN@VERT/REALITY to All on Monday, June 14, 2021 10:25:30
    I think I spotted an issue when I went through my sbbsecho logs. I'm trying to send mail to 1:114/710, and I saw this error:

    6/14 10:18:39a BINKOUT Attempting callout for 1:114/710@fidonet, file: C:\sbbs\binkit\outbox\007202c6.cut
    6/14 10:18:39a BINKOUT JSBinkP/4 callout to 1:114/710@fidonet started
    6/14 10:18:43a BINKOUT Connecting to 1:114/710@fidonet at undefinedf710.n114.z1.binkp.net:0
    6/14 10:18:43a BINKOUT Connection to undefinedf710.n114.z1.binkp.net:undefined failed (Error: Invalid port).

    This node's entry from the nodelist:

    ,710,Darkest_Hour_BBS,Maricopa_AZ,Shawn_Rapp,-Unpublished-,9600,CM,IFC,ITN,INA: dhbbs.org

    The node isn't flying a bink flag, but it looks like Synchronet is trying to connect anyways.

    I tried telnetting to the node in question on 24554 and got an answer, so it looks like the nodelist is in error. I've netmailed the NC.

    That's a BinkIt log, not SBBSecho log. The SBBSecho log output is in data/sbbsecho.log.

    If there's no binkd response, and there's no binkd flag, then the nodelist is not in error. Ideally BinkIT wouldn't try calling it, since it's not flying the appropriate flag. If you're trying to send netmail to the node, I'd suggest routing it through his NC.

    There is a binkd response, but no binkd flag in the nodelist. What's puzzling is that without a bink flag, binkit is trying to connect. Based on the "undefined" part of the connect string and selecting port 0, it seems like something's off.

    Yeah, a couple of settings were off.

    6/14 10:18:39a BINKOUT Attempting callout for 1:114/710@fidonet, file:
    C:\sbbs\binkit\outbox\007202c6.cut

    That's a BinkIt log, not SBBSecho log. The SBBSecho log output is in data/sbbsecho.log.

    I don't see anything regarding binkit connections in my sbbsecho.log. I'm running Windows, looking in the window has been the only way I've seen entries for binkit.

    Really appreciate your help! I've been trying to figure this out for a while now.

    I agree: any appearance of "undefined" in JavaScript modules/utilities is highly suspect of a bug.

    In the message to which I was replying, you said "I think I spotted an issue when I went through my sbbsecho logs" - I was pointing out that the log output you were pasting into the message was from BinkIt, not SBBSecho.

    Really appreciate your help! I've been trying to figure this out for a while now.

    Glad to help! If you're running Binkp only, you should ask your NC to get rid of the IFC and ITN flags and add an IBN flag.
