      Hello Deon!              18 Sep 18 06:00, you wrote to me:               DG> In my quest to override nodelist settings with those in mbsetup, I        DG> discovered that anytime a setting was put in Inet hostname (7.x.3),        DG> any other logging reporting (mbout n ... and log files), show the BBS        DG> name as the Inet Hostname. Can figure out why it should change the BBS        DG> name?              The original method for listing an internet hostname in the FidoNet NodeList        was in the system name field. The INA: flag for the internet address came        much later. MBSE was originally designed to look for the hostname in the        system name field; then later adapted to other methods of listing the        hostname, such as the INA: flag or attached to a protocol flag, or even an IP        address in the phone number field.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
