    Hi Javier,

    On 2025-09-20 19:42:12, you wrote to me:

    But the node 2:221/1 is listed in the nodelist. What am I missing? How
    can I check if binkd can access and is processing the correct
    nodelist?

    Binkd can't use the nodelist directly.

    There is a perl script that can do it, configured like this:

    #
    # Perl hooks file (if built with Perl)
    #
    #perl-hooks ~/ftn/binkd/nodelist.pl

    Or you can "compile" the nodelist to a format that binkd can use. I'm using this php script: http://ambrosia60.ddnss.org/53f8ee03/drv_q/div27/i-util/bnlphp14.zip

    And include the compiled file into your binkd.config.

    Or you can depend on the service by binkp.net which provides a dns service for node lookups, configured like this:

    #
    # Overrides root domain for DNS lookups, see 'node' below.
    #
    root-domain binkp.net


    Bye, Wilfred.

    There is also this tool: https://github.com/shadowlmd/ndl2bnkd/
    Supports multiple nodelists and pointlists.
