Can you verify that mbse was set for the specific sysop/node

It WAS set to v1.0 only for my node and then I got the error. When
that setting was removed, the error disappeared.

In that case, it seems to be working correctly.

IIUC, mbse showed that it was in binkp 1.1 mode even though it was
forced to binkp 1.0 mode... this doesn't seem correct...

Sound like ypu are saying that the report is only showing the mbse mode as designed and not the 'Actual' mode it is currently in for the 'current' connection?

If that is correct then yes it is a bug (cosmetic).
Confirm the above and I will pass to the mbse echo for reference and discussion
before looking at the code by myself or one of the other support team.

My apologies for 'assuming' it has been many years since I have had a need to look at this setting that I totally forgot about it.

It what happens when the system just works (well, normally).

Yeah, that sounds familiar. ;-)

Ok, so we have found a work around. So far so good. What remains is the question
why binkd thinks mbicico is in 1.1 mode when the sysop has forced it in 1.0 mode.

Is mbcico sending the wrong signal or is binkd misreading mbcico's signal?

It is my understanding that you are the present maintainer of MBSE. Could you have a look at it?

As far as I know, the version line in de system handshake said the version
supports binkd v1.1.

I see no reason why that banner should change if program is forced to
v1.0 by an available option.

While it actually didn't because it was forced into 1.0 mode.

I see no reason why that banner should change if program is forced to
v1.0 by an available option.

So that it does not put the other side on the wrong foot?

This is from the log with log level 10:

20 Feb 00:32:36 [7804] Read 43 bytes
20 Feb 00:32:36 [7804] got block: 43 (msg)
20 Feb 00:32:36 [7804] rcvd msg NUL VER mbcico/0.50.0/GNU/Linux-i386 binkp/1.1
- 20 Feb 00:32:36 [7804] VER mbcico/0.50.0/GNU/Linux-i386 binkp/1.1
20 Feb 00:32:36 [7804] remote uses binkp v.1.1
20 Feb 00:32:36 [7804] tv.tv_sec=60, tv.tv_usec=0
20 Feb 00:32:36 [7804] selected 1 (r=1, w=0)

As you can see, this side receives the string that contains the banner with the
version. From that it concludes that the remote is 1.1 capable. The version number in the banner is used to determine the actual capability of the remote.

Advertsing 1.1 while being forced in 1.0 mode puts the remote on the wrong foot.

Hello Vince!

Hopefully the last FYI on this subject ...


but I will not take any bets on it !


From the above this test was on an old copy of mbse (0.50.0).
so the test is not a good one as we need to see if it applies on v1.01.1
