      Hello Kees!              Friday November 02 2012 15:12, Kees van Eeten wrote to All:               KvE> For quite a while the following error shows in the Nodelist.               KvE> ;E DOWN,779,RoadRunner_X,Grande_Cache_Alberta,Randy_Sommerfeld,        KvE> -Unpublished-,9600,XX,CM,V32b,V34,V42b,IBN:rrx.ca        KvE> ;E -- Invalid keyword -- 'FILES'               KvE> This concerns 1:153/779 and my best guess is that the error is        KvE> generated on his system. That would be consistent with the second        KvE> error line as FILES could be the next keyword in te configuration        KvE> file.              This is caused by combining Down, with an -Unpublished- phone number, which is       not permitted in FTS-5000. I quote:               Alternatively, this field may contain the string "-Unpublished-"        if the node has no conventional phone number, and uses the "Pvt"        or "Hold" keywords. It is recommended that software be able to        recognise this string as an indicator to never attempt to dial        this node by PSTN/ISDN, no matter what the keyword.               KvE> As the system is apparently down, no corrections are sent.              Down nodes are supposed to be removed from the nodelist in a timely manner.               KvE> Had the host segment been processed, by a current makenl, then DOWN        KvE> would have been converted to "Down" and the line a valid entry.              No, the line in question is not a valid entry, as the standards are currently       documented.               KvE> Can someone contact Dallas Hinton or Bob Seaborn, to correct this        KvE> line        KvE> in their segment.              Dallas should remove this line from his nodelist segment. I am currently       working on fixing the "Invalid keyword -- FILES" error message that is logged       with the combination of Down, and -Unpublished-. This combination is an       error, but the error message is incorrect.              Regards,              Andrew              ---        * Origin: Bits & Bytes BBS * V.Everything! * 860/535-4284 (1:320/119)    |
