About some linbpq failures


Richard Hendricks
 

This was taken directly from my BBS earlier today.? I've noticed the same thing?
happening to my system over the past few weeks but haven't determined which
version it started with, but it did occur in 6.0.21.1:

Several days passed on addressing the above linbpq failure,
but no way to address it :(

Obviously, they don't know about the groups.io reflector, so I thought I would
pass this on to you, John.

I have all of my partner BBSes are set to forward here without any binary com-
pression, but I noticed that some who do use either B1 or B2 compression is
somehow forcing my BBS to change to their compression instead of staying
at the default non-binary that I had chosen, even when my SID shows no?
compression feature:??[BPQ-6.0.21.24-IHJM$]

Is this something new or perhaps a bug in the code?

One further comment.? The Statement:? "Several days passed...addressed it :( "
...was meant to be included as part of the original commented text, and not from me.

My comments start with:? Obviously, they don't know...

Also, to view the complete bulletin, the BID is:? ?Bid: 3330_I0OJJ

Just wanted to clarify those a bit.

I have seen this as well - but so far with only one forwarding partner. He changed his side to B1 yesterday, and I changed mine back yet again to B1 at around the same time. However this morning I found mine back on B2. I was on the .13 beta. Just upgraded to .24 a?few minutes ago.?

Thanks,?
Lee K5DAT?

I'm already on .24 and it still does it, Lee.??

I have a partner that I forward to and I set in non-Binary, but forwarding to his BBS, the Binary
is somehow "remotely" switched on with B2.

Strange, indeed.

It isn't supposed to do that. I'll look into it.

Thanks,

I can't reproduce this. Do you have a BBS log showing what has happened between it sending the plain text SID and sending the B2 SID?

Logs attached.? I removed all binary from the forwarding settings for VE3CGR yesterday evening - not sure exactly what time. This morning it was back to allow binary checked and B2 checked.? So given the log is in UTC the change either happened late in the Feb 13th log or sometime in today's log.? Both are in the attached zip file.

Thanks,
Lee

Update - after I sent that last email I looked through forwarding settings and found that KE0GB, N9PMO, N3MLB and KD5LPB were also set to B2 for binary.? I changed them all to B1 except Rick's which I changed to remove all binary.? After checking less than an hour later, the settings for KE0GB and KD5LPB were already back to B2.? VE3CGR was also back to B2.? I copied another BBS log file after finding those settings changed, which is attached.

I just checked my forward settings to K5DAT as well, and they were still set at non-binary.

I'm still searching thru my 210214_BBS.txt and find no instance of any BBS remotely changing
my SID features, but afterwards from GB7YEW, WA6RZW, and VE3BWM, my BBS was responding
with, for example:

210214 00:00:51 |GB7YEW? ? Incoming Connect from GB7YEW
210214 00:00:51 >GB7YEW? ? [BPQ-6.0.21.24-B2FWIHJM$]
210214 00:00:51 >GB7YEW? ? Hello GB7YEW.? 0 unread message(s).
?
210214 00:00:51 >GB7YEW? ? >

...after I had changed my BBS back to non-Binary only in GB7YEW's BBS
profile again this morning.

Make sure you don't have RMS Express User checked if you want to use other than B2 forwarding. RMS Express User will override what is set in the BBS config.

That would explain that.? All three, even tho they were BBSes, had RMS Express user
checked in their USER profile, so they've been unchecked.? I'll uncheck anyone I know
that does not use the RMS Express program other than the one or two that does use
it from time-to-time, and they aren't BBSes, but local users.

Thanks again, John
