Hi, first post, looking for some pointers. Using linbpq very successfully for a couple of years. Just recently it started to segv shortly after bpq startup. In this case I can say I made no OS updates etc at the same time. i.e. was not changed or updated, (OS updates nor bpq) during time from working to crashing. The only change I was trying was to add a new ax-ip UDP map entry to a remote node. After adding, crash some time after startup, usually within 1 minute, but < 5 mins for sure - if it will crash. I played around, if I disable linbpq the crash goes away. (take LINMAIL out from the bpq32.cfg). If I take out all map entries for ax-ip and change default port (was 10093, so if I make it 10094 for example) the crash ssue goes away. So I think it is related to new ax-ip map, but alas even when I removed it again I still get the crash - I've asked the other end of the map link to remove me for a time, to see if that's it. My guess is that they are sending my node some ax-ip udp that crashes the node, perhaps. Unless this is all very strange coincidence, that seems to be it. By the way, during this process of elimination I since a) updated linbpq to latest (no difference) and b) updated OS also (no issues, no change) OS is Devuan (Debian based) x64 latest but it seems this is not particularly relevant to the issue. I ran latest bpq with axip disabled and it ran for hours, so it does seem this is the area of issue. But how to better debug the cause/trigger? It seems if it will crash, it will do so in first few mins or starting up, otherwise it remains working for days, weeks, months, as normal, as it used to. I did look at logs, did not find anything useful. in the process I upgraded from linbpq 6.0.24.42 (regular linbpq 32) to the latest linbpq64 but really, none of these changes seem to have made any differences at all. Or at least not fixed or made issue different or worse.

One secondary thing, perhaps mistakenly I thought it might be due how many messages I had or their content, so I moved the Mail dir aside to check. This seems to not have made any difference but... once done checking, when I put the mail dir back (I can see all the message files in it) I do not see them listed on the bbs. Is there a way to get it to rescan the metadata to restore the messages onto the BBS? current state is bbs YCKBPQ:KD2YCK-7} Connected to BBS [BPQ-6.0.24.70-B2FWIHJM$] KD2YCK (Louis) 0/0 msgs, 8350 is latest, 3 active msgs, 12 last read de KD2YCK> ll 10 8350 26-Apr PN 4 TEST KD2YCK test 8349 26-Apr PN 170 SYSOP SYSTEM Housekeeping Results 8348 26-Apr PN 173 SYSOP SYSTEM Housekeeping Results de KD2YCK> however ll Mail/*.mes | wc -l 965 so this is a secondary issue but it would be nice to figure it out also and get it all back how it was :) really appreciate any tips here all the best, Louis / kd2yck

FILE-export not working
#bbs
#fwd
Dear BPQ-community, on my linbpq I have set up file-export to callsigns via the entry FILE according to the documentation which worked with no problem so far. By chance I realized it doesn't anymore, even when reverting some BETAs back to Nov. 2024 from the running version 6.0.24.70 (32 and 64 bit on four systems). Please, can someone check if this problem also exists outside my bubble? Thanks for supporting, 73 - Jochen p.s.: setting up my callsign as a regular BBS and putting the FILE EXPORT/filename.txt there works as an unwanted workaround :)

When putting nodes in sites owned by others, Id like to be able to say approximately how much internet bandwidth a heavily used bpq32 node would take from their internet. Anyone got metrics they can share? Matter of Mb? Gb?

Winlink Express using Bpq32 node via RF to access mail from CMS
7
Would like to have Winlink Express using RF (packet) access to bpq node as for just sending and receiving emails from CMS. Got WLExpress to connect to node fine but no messages are getting sent or received. This would be for personal use only. Been at this for a while so I am curious if this is possible at all. Thanks for any suggestions Karl

Winlink in-line picture attachments dropped by BPQ BBS
7
John, Inline attachments like pictures between the text are just unceremoniously dropped by the BBS and deleted. This also the case for the html code. (Non-inline attachments are fine.) Is this a bug? Should be nice to receive these. Linbpq version is 6.0.24.69. Regards, Boudewijn VE3TOK -- There is nothing permanent except change Heraclitus

Winlink Node via BPQ32 on Linux?
5
Our area is sparse for vhf / uhf winlink nodes. Id like to add one to the area but we dont have the power nor hardware on our possible site to support a bloated windows server install. Bpq32 on Ubunutu server would be much more acheivable. Ive heard mention that bpq32 can be set up as a winlink server / node to offer the service to folks using winlink express. Is there a good guide on how to do this? Im sure there are some relevant posts but I wasnt able to find any with some full info (perhaps my searching skills need some training) 73 and tnx DE W1BTR

CMS logging
John, I¡¯ve noticed in the bbs log on incoming connections the port and frequency used are reported, but the CMS log does not. I¡¯m curious to know by what mode my users are using when connected to my RMS service, at least knowing what port was used would give me a clue. thanks Jim KI0BK

LinBPQ says: Error - Port in use (Session Attached
4
Hi all, I have been experimenting with a newly-added KAM port (#6). It looks to me that after an outgoing call was tried in G-tor mode (either from QtTermTCP or from within a forwarding script) the modem remains in some state where no other command is accepted, such as bellow: Connected to TelnetServer att 6 LPTP:YU7BPQ} Ok c <call> *** Failure with <call> gtor <call> KAM} $ Input ignored gtor KAM} gtor <call> KAM} $ Input ignored pactor KAM} c <call> tor KAM} Disconnected ... or when a fwd script session fails, it does not return to scan frequencies but remains on the last one used. Seems that it keeps the port busy: Connected to TelnetServer att 6 LPTP:YU7BPQ} Error - Port in use (Session Attached Disconnected Connected to TelnetServer att 6 LPTP:YU7BPQ} Error - Port in use (Session Attached Disconnected Connected to TelnetServer att 6 LPTP:YU7BPQ} Error - Port in use (Session Attached A sample fwd script includes this: ATTACH 6 RADIO 14.10230 USB #\TRX F 14102.30 #\TRX F 7044 PAUSE 2 #MYLEVEL 1 MSGTYPES PTRB5000 C <call> ELSE ATTACH 6 RADIO 14.10230 USB #\TRX F 14102.30 #\TRX F 7044 PAUSE 2 #MYLEVEL 1 MSGTYPES PTRB5000 GTOR <call> Any idea what can be wrong?

LocalNet does not work with AGW connections to BPQ
Hi, Can this be fixed so if your source address is in LOCALNET=x.x.x.x/24 on the telnet port also covers AGW connections to node "SWITCH"? Meaning that when I use QTTermTCP to connect to bpq in AGW mode and try to use node sysop commands like: ATTACH port RADIO 12.3456 I get you are not authorized. Yea I could use the sysop password but think this LOCALNET should cover AGW sessions covering this so I dont need to auth when coming from a trusted IP range. Thanks

Chat Link Reconnect Failure
Sometime overnight the chat service #USWCH:WA3WLH-14 on the US West regional chat hub #USWST:WA3WLH-15 dropped the chat link with my home chat service WLHCHT:WA3WLH-11 on node WLHNOD:WA3WLH-7. This is not unexpected given random weirdness on the internet and is typically the result of some secondary or child chat link hanging on to NETROM info for way too long. It is easy to confirm by reviewing the chat log for the dreaded "Refusing link from WA3WLH-14 to WA3WLH-11 to prevent a loop.". I assumed the drop last night was due to this sort of loop prevention so I never bothered to verify since the condition typically clears within 12 hours or so. Now that it is well late in the afternoon I see that while there is a good AXUDP link between these nodes the chat services remain disconnected so I had a look in the chat log. I can see a chat service connect from my home node to the west hub followed almost immediately by a disconnect from the west hub but where there used to be the loop prevention message there is no obvious reason that I can see. Here is what I see in actual chat log file: 250418 20:30:11 |#USWCH Connecting to Chat Node #USWCH 250418 20:30:11 <#USWCH *** CONNECTED 250418 20:30:11 >#USWCH C WA3WLH-14 250418 20:30:12 <#USWCH WLHNOD:WA3WLH-7} Connected to #USWCH:WA3WLH-14 250418 20:30:13 <#USWCH [BPQChatServer-6.0.24.69] 250418 20:30:13 >#USWCH *RTL 250418 20:30:13 >#USWCH KWA3WLH-11 WA3WLH-14 6.0.24.69 250418 20:30:25 |#USWCH Chat Node WA3WLH-14 Disconnected I had a QTT monitor on the AXUDP port running at the time so here is the corresponding monitor: 20:30:12R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <I C P S7 R3> NET/ROM WA3WLH-11 to WA3WLH-14 ttl 25 cct=0402 <CON REQ> w=4 WA3WLH-11 at WA3WLH-11 t/o 60 20:30:12T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <RR R F R0> 20:30:12T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <I C P S3 R0> NET/ROM WA3WLH-14 to WA3WLH-11 ttl 25 cct=0402 <CON ACK> w=153 my cct=058A 20:30:12R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <RR R F R4> 20:30:12T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <I C P S4 R0> NET/ROM WA3WLH-15 to WA3WLH-11 ttl 25 cct=0402 <INFO S0 R0>: [BPQChatServer-6.0.24.69] 20:30:13R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <RR R F R5> 20:30:13R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <I C P S0 R5> NET/ROM WA3WLH-11 to WA3WLH-14 ttl 25 cct=058A <INFO S0 R1>: *RTL KWA3WLH-11 WA3WLH-14 6.0.24.69 20:30:13T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <RR R F R1> 20:30:14T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <I C P S5 R1> NET/ROM WA3WLH-15 to WA3WLH-11 ttl 25 cct=0402 <INFO S1 R1>C: xZJM+-NLKWHILKVH+JOUw4wqP54T(IsL@"T2T<D||=.np 20:30:14R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <RR R F R6> 20:30:24R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <I C P S1 R6> NET/ROM WA3WLH-11 to WA3WLH-14 ttl 25 cct=058A <INFO ACK R2> 20:30:24T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <RR R F R2> 20:30:25T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <I C P S6 R2> NET/ROM WA3WLH-15 to WA3WLH-11 ttl 25 cct=0402 <DISC REQ> 20:30:25R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <RR R F R7> 20:30:25R WA3WLH-7>WA3WLH-15 Port=1 <I C P S2 R7> NET/ROM WA3WLH-11 to WA3WLH-15 ttl 25 cct=058A <DISC ACK> 20:30:25T WA3WLH-15>WA3WLH-7 Port=1 <RR R F R3> Any clue why the DISC REQ from the hub? 73 de Rich WA3WLH

BPQ Mail crash - confirmation help
2
Can someone help with confirming or denying that this situation happens to you please. Required: Windows 10. BPQ Mail. HTTP access. Templates installed. Open Browser to BPQ Node Pages Select Webmail Select Send Message Select Use Template Select General Forms Select No Page Selected At this point BPQ Mail closes. I'd like to see if this happens to all others. If so, perhaps John can fix the code where it returns to the previous page or back to List. To prevent this, select Back on your browser until you get to the list. But, if you go back to the form and click cancel, it takes you to the form selection again. "When I sent to the doctor and complained, his answer was Don't do that." Perhaps that is the answer here... -- 73, Mark, N5MDT Montgomery, Texas http://n5mdt.ham-radio-op.net:52852
