I have another question regarding binkit.

I know with the BINKD daemon (redundancy alert!!) one can add an "include" statement to include other configuration files, such as the binkd.txt or similar file. Does binkit allow for such inclusion of these binkd-styled nodelist files, or is that what the nodelist entry is in ECHOCFG?

ok...

"include" statement to include other configuration files, such as the binkd.txt or similar file.

yes... i used to include binkd.txt followed by my myconnects.txt which had the session level passwords (and file boxes) set in it...

Does binkit allow for such inclusion of these binkd-styled nodelist
files,

no...

or is that what the nodelist entry is in ECHOCFG?

no... that's for regular FTN St. Louis formatted nodelists... binkit doesn't use the binkd style nodelist...

so what you do is to put the normal nodelist somewhere and define that in echocfg... binkit should use the defined host/domain name from echocfg or, and i'm not totally sure about this (yet) it'll look up the node in the nodelist and use what it finds there for the connection... i've been planning to test this to be sure but i think i have at least one or two linked system definitions that i have not placed a connect domain in... all mail that arrives here is delivered instead of being held so those ones appear to be working but again, i need to test further to be absolutely sure...

this is also tied into tickit in that for the FDN area definition that brings you TICs with nodelists, you can add a handler entry so that when the nodelist comes in and tickit processes it, it'll extract the nodelist from the archive and put it in the defined directory with the name you defined in echocfg... that'll automatically update the nodelist when it arrives...

following up on my above statement made in the wee hours when i should have been asleep...

i checked the wiki and the binkit section definitely states that binkit will read the host and port from the nodelist... i've removed all of my binkit host overrides and am now running binkit using the (daily) nodelist for all my connections...

i haven't looked at the code but i can probably also remove all my port overrides, too... i guess that's next ;)

Ok. That makes sense to me. However, until tickit does the "filefix" thing, I will continue to use the Husky tools. They also have a nodelist updater that I need to run to perhaps place the nodelist in the directories for binkit to use.

Thanks, Mark!
