I previously used tmafreq, but you might try http://ftnapps.sourceforge.net/vireq.html.

IIRC, there are some perl or bash scripts to handle FREQs via binkd... check question 17 in the posted FAQ...
in the mean time, if you are running binkd 1.1a19 or newer, there should be a bash script named srifreq that you might use... i have to look back in my bases and see if i can find another one that i recall being posted in script form... not sure if i locked it to retain it in the base after the three year retention period or not, though... but i just looked at the sources for srifreq and that may be what i'm thinking of having been posted from stas degteff... if you have a clone or fork of the binkd git repository, you can find srifreq in the misc directory ;)

Hmmm. Looks like FAQ question 16, not 17. :)

I'm not running BinkD 1.1 yet, 1.0.4 is exactly the version I'm
running as-is now and packaged for CentOS 7.1.

sounds like you have an old FAQ... i had asked for and someone finally did split 16 into two parts, 16 and 17... this because 16 is for /how/ to make a request and 17 is for how to /service/ a request... the FAQ is posted at least once a month in the BINKD support echo ;)

if you would like a copy of the srifreq file, let me know and i'll send it over...
as for the versions of binkd, i have a couple of *nix boxen here... one is running the packaged binkd for it, another is running a slightly newer version from a repo snapshot and a 3rd one actually has a clone/fork of the repo and gets a new version when i decide to pull the latest updates and compile them...
Cool. I will check it out. Looks like it's by the same author as
TinyTIC? Hmm, well, either way, if it's useful, it's useful. :)
I just want things to work fully and completely as possible.

I personally ran tmafreq in the past. I think I found the latest release. It took a tad bit of work to get to compile but if you're are interested in it I will provide my modified sources.
tmafreq allows you to configure limits and is more configuable if I recall.
Hi Eric,

No, it's not.
Michael Dillon and I wrote TinyTIC back in 2000. Jame Clay now "maintains" the TinyTIC code as will as the vireq code. He's not the original author of TinyTIC...which if you downloaded TinyTIC and read the documentation, it'd be blatantly obvious. :)
I just wanted to clarify that. I still get TinyTIC support requests but I quit using it long ago since I no longer run Synchronet/2 (TinyTIC was written to work with Synchronet originally). However, if you have questions about TinyTIC's source code, I can forward any questions to Michael who is no longer a member of Fidonet.

Probably the FAQ for BinkD 1.0.4, as it was what was on their website directly.
checkingif you would like a copy of the srifreq file, let me know and i'll

I just downloaded the latest snapshot for binkd 1.1a73, so I'll be
it out. I already made an updated .spec file for use with the new alpha, and just checking it to make sure I have it packaging up everythingproper.
I'm likely to upgrade, if it doesn't break anything. Because I'm packing,I
can upgrade and roll back if it does break things, rather easily.
as for the versions of binkd, i have a couple of *nix boxen here...
one is running the packaged binkd for it, another is running a
slightly newer version from a repo snapshot and a 3rd one actually
has a clone/fork of the repo and gets a new version when i decide to
pull the latest updates and compile them...
Yep. I'm packing everything my BBS runs into RPM packages that I can install and upgrade/downgrade as needed to maintain them. One of the
many reasons I prefer CentOS/Fedora over Debian/Ubuntu, is the simple .spec file format is just the best and easiest to maintain. And to me, makes more sense. :)

i don't even mess with any of that stuff... i have things that i do not want installed system wide and others that are OK for that... if i have the sources i can decide how i want it installed and put it where i want it to be ;)
I would like that actually. If you would so kindly email me that to
this email?
mynick@linux-help.org
Replace mynick with psi-jack. I can also provide it via my BBS and
build an RPM .spec file for it to build on RPM-based distros.

Done. There was no english documentation so I want to go through the software, figure it out, and add this. Only tested on FreeBSD with clang but I suspect you have no problem. I did do a test file request and it worked fine - as I remember from years ago. The most important thing is to create file2db.paths and run file2db. If you need help just ask.
