It happened to me many times       when I'm/was trying to test binkd I ran into weird behaviours.       I was restarting the service -FreeBSD- sudo service binkd restart but somehow       not everytime took the config changes, then one time I k9ed every binkd pid.                      JM> I used to have all this stuff working for years but for some goddamn        JM> reason it's not anymore.               JM> Fidonet (in and outgoing) works fine.
