Hiya....

Quick question. I'm trying to input a session level password in the Node Mgr and the area is not accessable for me to change it. I'm using FD 2.25+ as the mailer type and using Synchronet mail tosser. The sbbs echocfg will allow me to put in a pkt password but I really don't care about that.

BTW, the TransX field is set to compatable although I have it toggled off.

One other thing.... I have an updated and compiled FD nodelist in the path that IRex asks for and when I toggle "Send to Unlisted Nodes" to Yes, it never stays and goes back to No. Right now I am using route.rex but I'd rather not have to route netmail through my uplink.

My copy of Irex is registered... 50 nodes and server functions to 2 users. Will I need a different key and string to activate those functions?

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Dunno about FD 2.25 as I've never used it, but I use FD (Up to 2.20). I
also have 'type of .msgs' set to Opus 1.02. Dunno if that's part of the
problem or not. I also have TransX Mode set to compatable.

BTW, the TransX field is set to compatable although I have it toggled
off.

path that IRex asks for and when I toggle "Send to Unlisted Nodes" to
Yes, it never stays and goes back to No. Right now I am using
route.rex but I'd rather not have to route netmail through my uplink.

This is one of the quirks of IREX...you can set 'send to unknown nodes' to
yes and exit the rexcfg and then return to it and that setting will always
be set to No...dunno why. BTW, I use a GoldEd compiled nodelist rather
than the FD compile.

The route.rex file can be edited to send mail directly to any node listed
in the node manager, but not a node Rex can only find in the nodelist. Sometimes rex will read the nodelist, other times it won't.

My copy of Irex is registered... 50 nodes and server functions to 2
users. Will I need a different key and string to activate those
functions?

Nope. You have the same setup that I have and it works as advertised, but
has a few hangups that can no longer be addressed by the author because
he's abandoned the package.

Any ideas?

I've run into the session password thing before, but I don't recall what
it was that finally allowed that field to be used. It has something to do
with the way you've configured the node, but I don't recall the switch
that turns that session field on/off. It might do some good to delete that node's config, exit rexcfg and start over...sometimes rex doesn't write
the cfg files correctly.

Perhaps he needs to set the User Level in the General Setup, to Advanced??

I've got it set to Expert.... :/

Plus I tried everything you said to do Roy... nadda. I hope somehow the author reads this before I send him an email that's listed in the user docs.

Try advanced. I originally set mine to expert, but Advanced gives me more options

Hopefully you find the problem. You MAY have to delete your complete config, a
and start over. Been there done that.

You might do yourself some good by saving your configuration files and re-installing IREX executables...that's about the only thing left to do in
my experience with it.

That's exactly what I did. Started from scratch and it allowed me to enter both the Password password and session level at first. Once I saved the rexcfg, closed it and them re-opened it.. all passwords were greyed out again... and the send to unlisted nodes was back to No. lol!!

Back to the drawing board...

Thanks Roy

I resolved the Sesson Level password issue. I originally set it up with a Primary password that will protect all the others. Being that was the case, you need to start irexcfgw with the -p<password> switch. Originally I wasn't. Sometimes it pays to RTFM... ;)

Still working on the nodelist issue. I may setup GoldED as IRex's docs says it can read that compiled nodelist as well. Or I may go back to our original discussion and run FD with NetSerial. Still a toss-up for now. Don't have lots of time to play due to work and the wedding coming up but when I get the answer, I'll let y'all know.

Enjoy!!
