Hello Jean-Paul,
Van: "Jean-Paul ROUBELAT"
In another way, last versions of FBB (7.04g) now include a pop and news server.
Okay, thanks for the information! I like however dedicated programs since I bet whatever you build in, it doesn't beat INN, sendmail, Apache, FTPd etc. I also fail to understand programs like TNOS that build in everything that is already present in the system - and is much better (and better supported) in the Linux system. But everybody takes what sutes him best. But maybe I will try it out when I have some time because it will make the setup simpler. Our local BBS is still using DOS and we want to go to Linux there too, so maybe we can deploy this functionaly for that. I'm now running my own compiled FBB 7.00g ("ported" to the new ax25 libs) with everything contained in /home/fbb (everthing runs under the fbb userid, only xfbbd is SUID to root). With the new version the files are all-over the place so I have to sit down and see it is worth the effort. First I have to get Xastir running again (latest development version). I now run on the 2.2.19 kernel since the afternoon and have had no lockups since. The mailgateway runs and I saw my first message send with "mutt" pass via sendmail to FBB and handed over to the local BBS. So thats good. I hope somebody will fix the AX.25 stuff in the 2.4.x kernel. Kind regards, Henk.
