I use QtTerm TCP exclusively to connect to my node locally.? Since upgrading to?Version 6.0.22.70, every time I connect to the node it displays the node list without being asked.? Is this normal behavior??

No, it isn't expected behaviour, and it doesn't happen here.

The only thing I can think of is that you've accidentally added an N as the 4th parameter in your TelnetServer USER line.

Hmmmm... here's my user line (with password redacted) straight out of the config file.

USER=n4nvd,****,N4NVD,NODE,SYSOP? ? ? ? ? ? ?; Telnet user

The same thing happens when I choose a friend's system (KF5RLL) to connect to...

For the record, I don't really mind that it does it, just wondered if it was normal for it to happen.? Some problem with QtTerm TCP perhaps?

Removed the NODE from the 4th position and that "fixed" it.? Will advise KF5RLL to do the same.? The odd thing about this is that that user line has been that way since I first set up the node going on three years ago now.? Never actually displayed the node list before until this upgrade.??

There was a bug which meant that connecting to the application defined by the 4th parameter didn't work with QtTermTCP or the Web Terminal. This was fixed in an early 6.0.22 beta.

The documentation for the USER line includes "You may also set a user to automatically connect to one of your applications by adding the Application as a 4th parameter". Maybe this isn't entirely clear, but in this context application means the value from one of your APPLICATION lines, and NODE isn't an application. What the code actually does is pass whatever is specified to the command interpreter, so it doesn't need to be an application, and NODE causes the display of the Nodes List.

Well, John - that makes perfect sense.? I upgraded to stop the errors I was getting with a number of my downlink partners, but hadn't upgraded for a while previously.? Now I know how the line is processed, so that makes sense as well.? Thanks for the explanation!??
