Gert,

Have any experiece that fidogate have hang while it is try to export and import news from inn to fido ?

As I noted elsewhere, I don't recall having issues like that. I'm not currently running Fidonet, though, because I'm testing another program (MBSE BBS) on the system where I have INN running. Note that I run v1.7 of INN, not v2.x, as I think the v2.x versions are overkill...

I have found out that my fidogate there before have worked fine with my news server inn now in some months has began to hang while it

"it" being Fidogate?

And btw, which version of Fidogate are you running? I had been running an interim development version of v4.4.11, but since there hasn't been any development for quite awhile I've decided to use v4.4.10 plus patches when/if I
put it back online again.

trying to transport/export and reading fido<-->news works.

Sorry, Gert, it's not clear to me where you're seeing the problem... "transport/export" is failing ?

Also; I understand from something you said elsewhere that you're using a new version of INN v2.x? It does make a difference in the compile of Fidogate,
IIRC, which version of INN it's being built to be used with. (I hadn't figured
a way to just make that a configuration item instead of a compile item, in part
because I'm not quite sure how it's used.) Perhaps something changed enough in
the version of INN you're now running to make a difference to Fidogate?

Yes I know that you running MBSE BBS on a test system and as I have knowing fro
the INN workers is the version of INN I have had it worked on (fidogate worked fine with INN) not changed so uch as some small bugs in inn have been corrected
to work better with. I am getting a email list updates from the innworkers lists system of all errors and bugs and when there is fixed thing in inn.

I have found out that my fidogate there before have worked fine with my
news server inn now in some months has began to hang while it

It look like it Fidogate there not like to do the inpacking and outpack function of gating and just hang by gate the news on to the next step to run like runtoss outpkt and runtoss outpkt/mail etc. runin runtoss runout etc. and but send-fidogate have now problem.

And btw, which version of Fidogate are you running? I had been
running an
interim development version of v4.4.11, but since there hasn't been any

I will thing it is v4.4.11 or .10

trying to transport/export and reading fido<-->news works.

Sorry, Gert, it's not clear to me where you're seeing the problem...

"transport/export" is failing ?

It is either when fidogate is on to unpack mail and gate it from news to mail packs as pkt files, or it is already when it trying to read the newsgroups and it not come on to next command.

Also; I understand from something you said elsewhere that you're
using a
new version of INN v2.x? It does make a difference in the compile of

Fidogat should could read the news group as the news database and directories not is been changed or it base structure not have been changed since it was worked fine.

Hello Jame.

in gentoo default portage there is only 2.5.x

is there any competor to running inn ?, i only know hamster on windows :)

hasn't been any development for quite awhile I've decided to use
v4.4.10 plus patches when/if I put it back online again.

so fidogate is stable ?

does it support control channel msgs for cancel msgs ?, or other nice things that a user client might do with nntp protocol :)

ahh, okay, that one is new for me, if inn is upgraded, one need to recompile fidogate, hard when fidogate is still not a ebuild :(

(I hadn't figured a way to just make that a configuration

it makes sense to me that ./configure in fidogate needs as minimal includes from inn to be compiled correct


but its still a shame that inn is like see 20 chickens fight of there cornflakes :)

Hi Benny!

hasn't been any development for quite awhile I've decided to use
v4.4.10 plus patches when/if I put it back online again.

so fidogate is stable ?

To my knowledge. I stopped using only temporarily, as I wanted to change what version I'm using, but haven't actually updated the Debian package as yet...

does it support control channel msgs for cancel msgs ?, or other nice things that a user client might do with nntp protocol :)

For what? The FTN side messages?

Also; I understand from something you said elsewhere that you're
using a new version of INN v2.x? It does make a difference in the
compile of Fidogate, IIRC, which version of INN it's being built to be
used with.

Well, why not?<g>

What I'm referring to there is the definition of the following defaults in config.make: DEFAULT_F_NEWSLIBDIR & DEFAULT_F_NEWSSPOOLDIR. Those are different for the different versions of INN; explictly mentioned in the v4.4.10 config.make are INN 1.7, 2.2, & 2.3.4.

Hi Benny!

in gentoo default portage there is only 2.5.x

Debian as both v1.7 (as package inn) and v2.52 (as package inn2)...

You might want to check the DEFAULT_F_NEWSLIBDIR & DEFAULT_F_NEWSSPOOLDIR definitions for your Fidogate and compare those to your INN setup...

Nothing shhold be have be changed in my inn.conf file as it is the one there have been used from the first time and it is too where fidogate config.make file have worked fine with before.

If it wasn't clear; those variables are in the config.make and are used when compileing Fidogate. So, one thing to verify is what your current version
of INN is useing...
