      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet e0900381       REPLY: 2:310/31.3@fidonet e09276c8       PID: OpenXP/5.0.42 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0500              Hello Martin,              AA>> I had a database corruption.              MF>In my current install, I see eleven database files(.db1) along with       MF>eleven corresponding index files(.ix1).              MF>Which of your database files got corrupted?              I believe that it was in what you call the "online help", that deleting        the .IX1 files would help matters. In this, case it did not. Oxp rebuilt        the IX1 files the next time the program was launched.                     MF>How do you know which one it was?              I dunno. At that point I was just frustrated that the PKTs didn't get        tossed and oxp locked up.                     MF>What were the symptoms?              Oxp locked up.                            MF>Was there some sort of associated error message?              According to the DEBUG log file, there was none!                            AA>> DEL *.IX1 fixed it.              MF>IMO, that would be a recipe for disaster!              I swear, I read somewhere that deleting the .IX1 files is OK.                     AA>> But the nodelist config broke.              MF>Here we go *again* :(              Accually, I think I found a serious security flaw in Oxp. It is related        to the next message you wrote to me. I'll make my comments in there.                     --- OpenXP 5.0.42        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 227/114 229/426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
