Hello, All!

I have a question. At the moment i am connected to two FTN Networks. The networks have both nodelists (Fidonet and Agoranet). I would like to load them into my binkd by using the perl-hooks in the config:

----
perl-hooks c:/sbbs/fido/nodelist.pl
perl-var nodelist fidonet:c:/sbbs/data/dirs/DAILYLST/DAILYLST.[0-9][0-9][0-9] perl-var magichost *
perl-dll c:/sbbs/fido/perl510.dll # only for win32 and os/2 versions with runtime DLL load

----

This works perfect for one nodelist. But when i try to add a new line of the perl-var nodelist the first line is forgotten.

How to fix this?


Best Regards, Michael

recommendation: don't use the perl hook stuff... you don't need it... use the distributed binkd nodelists or generate them from the official network nodelists with one of the available scripts... then, include them in your config... just make sure they have their own name...

eg: binkd.cfg

stuff
stuff
stuff
[...]
include fido-binkd.txt
include agor-binkd.txt
include myconnections.txt
-EOF-

so in the above, at the end of our conf file, we include the fidonet binkd.txt nodelist and one for agoranet... we give them our own names... lastly we include a file with our connections listed... the main thing this is for is session level (aka mailer-to-mailer) passwords and defining outbound and possibly inbound fileboxes... one can also override the domain for remote systems if needed... these need to be listed in the proper order so that your overrides are loaded after the base node entries...

check the binkd command line parameters, too... in our setup, any time one of the above files changes, we just copy it in and binkd automatically recognizes this and reloads the conf... over here, our command line is basically

binkd -C binkd.conf
