   On 19 Jun 2023 at 09:53a, Oli pondered and said...   
       
    Ol> PH> I don't have a Fidonet AKA setup in my BinkD for this node, yet my   
    Ol> PH> instance of BinkD seems to like/accept it?   
    Ol>    
    Ol> Are you 100% sure that there is not anything about fidonet in you   
    Ol> binkd.cfg (or the included config files)? If there is no fidonet AKA,   
    Ol> you should get a "(n/a or busy)" for fidonet too. But maybe I'm missing   
    Ol> something.   
      
   i will double check and let you know.   
      
    Ol> PH> Any ideas how I can ensure just the Zone 21 is accepted?   
    Ol>    
    Ol> You cannot. It's a flaw of the binkp protocol (inherited from EMSI). The   
    Ol> moment you have a password protected session, the incoming connection   
    Ol> can dump anything in your ("secure") inbound. That is the reason we have   
    Ol> pkt (and tic) passwords.   
    Ol>    
    Ol> You can configure some restrictions with the "skip" and "check-pkthdr"   
    Ol> keyword, but I'm not sure, if check-pkthdr secure would prevent it.   
      
   OK thanks Oli.
