In it are a couple of bonus BASH scripts that he threw in        PQ> just for the hell of it, called: sendfile.sh & frequest.sh to send        PQ> files or make FREQ requests to send via your binkD job. In any case        PQ> either script might be used to start-off a binkD session. They need        PQ> fine-tuning to your local Binkley directory structure. Not hard; I        PQ> did it!              Those scripts sound good. Whenever I want to send a file or reuest one, I have       to figure out the hexadecimal of it all.. Oops, I didn't mean to send that       there.. ;)               PQ> The guy was just shy of genius level (he also wrote an IP address        PQ> extraction tool from a FTN nodelist, in BASH!). If you want Mfreq        PQ> just FREQ 'mfreq' from here, for the last version. Zone 2 let him go        PQ> without a fight, when he got slightly pissed-off at something minor.              I remember when he left although I don't know what was troubling him. I do have        a version of mfreq here, been meaning to set that up. I'll freq yours to make       sure I am up to date.               AI>> Yes.. :) We are testing the ability to use the binkp protocol in        AI>> a secure way. Any help, feedback or direction you can provide is        AI>> welcome.               PQ> My Idea of a secure doover is covering the keyboard with my off-hand        PQ> while I peek & poke at the ivories with t'other. :)              At least your keyboard is secure.. ;)               AI>> Do you think that would be a good thing?               PQ> The all-time best would be simply a 'crash' filebox.              Everything is on crash here except my point and one other node that has become       unresponsive. I'm hoping that node will come back to life but time will tell.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 18/200 57/0 90/1 103/705 153/250 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 220/70 221/0 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 267/800 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/0 1 100 340 772/0 1 210       SEEN-BY: 772/500       PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
