Since then I've added a few, of course (and unfortunately not found BF> the time to remove the ones no longer in use). Well if your password file has hardly changed in 15 years, it bodes very little work for the future after you made similar file for binkd.

If you use DNS as nodelist, you do not bother about a nodelist. I you want a local list, you run the conversion to binkd.nl and move that file to the proper location. If you have started binkd with the -C parameter, it will see a file in the configuration has changed and reload. You can always modify the config while binkd is running, as soon as you save the file or subfile, binkd will reload within 1 min. KvE>> After it is setup, there is very little to maintain.

BF> How long does it take you to recompile the new nodelist for binkd and BF> then make it ready for it? I do a lot of trickery when compiling a nodelist for binkd and it is all written in shell scripts. So it takes some time depending on the hardeware where it runs. For the main node I also test the hostnames for their validity. That takes time as well. As soon as I have recompiled the my binkd.nl I move the file into position. The two deamons will then reload as soon as their interval for looking at the file timestamp has passed. The time a recompile takes is quite irrelevant for a weekly or even ad daily event. It has no influence on the performance of binkd. BF> But while I'm talking to an expert, why do I get an "error" like: I am far from an expert. BF> ?

That question has been answere in one of the echo recently. It is a warning, and I ignore it. You ca get rid of it by not using the option to derive the outgoing directories from the default zone. Just declare the outgoing directories for all three zones. BF> Sometimes during my first trials I got the same error for Z1 nodes, BF> but BF> they seem to have been accepted by binkd by now... It is a warning. Others may give you a more precise solution. Kees --- FPD v2.9.040207 GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5 * Origin: As for me, all I know is that, I know nothing. (2:280/5003.4) .
