#
# Default node flags. Binkd will call an unlisted node if "defnode" is defined.
#
#defnode -nr *

Is at the bottom of my config...

In the default linux config there is:

defnode -nd *

Without the # in front, and '-nd' instead of '-nr'...

Searching a bit further and using google translate on the Russian doc file I get this, which makes it much more clear:

4.11. defnode

The defnode directive describes the defaults for nodes that are not explicitly declared in the configuration file (in node lines). No default value set (no defaults). The parameters are the same as the node directives.

This directive is optional.

Example:

defnode -nd *
