Subject: Idea for nntp
To: [e-mail], [e-mail]

I have a idea on how to improve the nntp in jnos, so that people can read
messages a little easier, and expire them, without headackes.  I'm not a
programer, so this is out of my league, but somebody else might take it
and make it work.

The idea is to add an "NNTP DUMP-AND-DELETE" cammand.  The command would
do a controlled nntp dump, them after it dumps the message, it would delete
it.  There could be a control file in the /spool directory ie. nntpdump.txt
that would tell the command which area's to dump, and to which mailbox to
dump them. ie.

rec/radio/amateur/digital/misc miscdgtl
rec/radio/amateur/space space


When the command is called it would dump all news articles in
rec/radio/amateur/digital/misc into the "miscdgtl" mailbox, and all
rec/radio/amateur/space articles into the "space" mailbox.  It would
also delete all the nntp articles that it has dumped, then update the
news.rc file so that the normal nntp read command would still work
it desired.

This would also make it easier to read the different news adticles
with your favorite mailer, instead of the cripled nos nntp reader.
It would also let ax25 user read the nntp articles if desired, thru
the standard nos bbs system, and you can use the normal nos expire
command to kill the messages.

You would also be able to call the dump-and-delete command with the
"AT" command so that it would do it once every couple hours, or just
add a time variable to the command so that it would fire up at a user
defined interval.

ie.  nntp dump-and-delete 7200

for every two hours.

What do you think of this idea.  Anybody interested in adding this
feature to jnos?

To: [e-mail]

Hi,

I've been lurking for the last few weeks hoping to learn something about
using packet radio on the Internet.  Nearly all of the discussion is
way over my head, though.  I am a computer hobbiest, not a ham or
radio hobbiest.

Is there a FAQ for this group?  Where could I get introductory information
about packet radio Internetting?  Either email or posts to the list
directing me to other sources would be appreciated.  Maybe there is a
newsgroup on Usenet?

To: [e-mail]

This year at Pacificon there will be an "Intro to TCP/IP" session
offered by NCPA (Northern California Packet Association).
I am compiling a list of "TCP/IP Elmers" that will be given out to
to the attendees of the TCP/IP program, and at the NCPA table. If you'd
like to be a "TCP/IP Elmer", please reply with your name, callsign, town,
and phone number. If you know them, include your grid square or
coordinates as I'll be attempting a map. I'm also collecting a list of
non-TCP packet "Elmers" as well.

If you would like to talk about the way that NCPA is representing
you, please call me during the day at 510-215-3502. I'm the first TCP/IP
representative on NCPA's board and I want to make sure that they represent
all aspects of packet radio.

    Thanks

 Hi Folks!!. I have a security problem with the univperm permission. When it is
 set, anyone can access any of the mailboxes by doing this: By example, your
 login is root, and password xxxx. Then someone can access your mailbox by
 entering 'root<space><space><space><space>xx', and any password he wants.
 Off course it can be easily resolved by verifying that the login does not
 contain a separator character before accepting it :), returning a 'wrong login'
 message or something so. What do you think??

Just put a 'root' entry into ftpusers with an obscure password.  Do the same
for any username that has to be secured...

Just put a 'root' entry into ftpusers with an obscure password.  Do the same
for any username that has to be secured...

 Hi Folks!!. I have a security problem with the univperm permission. When it is
 set, anyone can access any of the mailboxes by doing this: By example, your
 login is root, and password xxxx. Then someone can access your mailbox by
 entering 'root<space><space><space><space>xx', and any password he wants.
 Off course it can be easily resolved by verifying that the login does not
 contain a separator character before accepting it :), returning a 'wrong login'
 message or something so. What do you think??

 Greetings!!

Subject: RSPF questions
To: tcp-group mailling list             <[e-mail]>

    I've started running RSPF to see how well it handles dynamic routing in
our network.  I've got a couple of questions that I hope someone who's
running RSPF can help answer.  First of all...  I have the unique broadcast
addresses for each port/freq.

    Are all the broadcast addresses supposed to be the same or just the
same on each port/freq?

    If I have a sub-net route ( 44.28.1/24 ) set up to a router box, why
would RSPF add unique, 32-bit address routes for everyone in the sub-net.
I.E.  I have route
add 44.28.1/24 enet router.kf5mg  metric 1
when I start and after a bit, I end up with
add 44.28.1/24 enet router.kf5mg  metric 1
add 44.28.1.1  enet router.kf5mg  metric 16
add 44.28.1.2  enet router.kf5mg  metric 16
add 44.28.1.3  enet router.kf5mg  metric 16
add 44.28.1.4  enet router.kf5mg  metric 16
add 44.28.1.5  enet router.kf5mg  metric 16
    I assume that when I broadcast my 'Hey... I can hear the following
stations...' I'm going to list all the new routes that RSPF has added to my
routing table even if they are covered by the sub-net route.

    RSPF pings local stations and records the results. Where does it get
the Initial list of stations to ping?

    Does RSPF only handle stations you can hear directly?  If so..., what
about a station that you have a route to that goes via a station ( x1j node
) that doesn't do RSPF.  How can you get a station like that in your RSPF
tables?

    I have 2 Internet Gateways. One gateway has 3 RF ports and the other
gateway has 1 RF port. The gateways talk to each other over an Internet
Link. How do I get the two gateway to talk RSPF to each other? They are
not on the same network so they won't hear each others RSPF broadcast.
Both gateways are part of our local network, so it's imperative that
they talk RSPF to each other.

    Guess that's about it. I'm running the RSPF code that's in JNOS 1.10b.
If there's a later-and-greater-but-not-in-jnos-1.10b version of RSPF,
please let me know. Thanks.
