1. Design goals

2. Config file

This chapter describes how a fidoconfig config-file is written, which keywords exist and where to put the file.

2.1 Configfile location		Where to put the config file
2.2 Syntax
2.3 Common keywords for HUSKY-programs		Keyword reference
2.4 High Portable Tosser keywords		HPT (High Portable Tosser) keywords
2.5 HTick (Husky Ticker) keywords
2.6 NLTools keywords
2.7 EmailPkt keywords
2.8 BSOpack keywords
2.9 herp keywords		Husky External Requext Processor keywords
2.10 Working sample config		Here is a sample configfile which works for me

2.1 Configfile location

linux:

/etc/fido/config

freebsd:

/usr/local/etc/fido/config

os2/win32/etc:

in the current directory

If you are compile library with huskymak.cfg, the location will be overset with CFGDIR parameter.

Additionally you can set an enviroment variable called FIDOCONFIG which points to the file:

set FIDOCONFIG=e:\bbs\fidoconfig\config FIDOCONFIG=~/fidoconfig/config export FIDOCONFIG

The config file(s) must be readable. If you plan to use the autoareacreate feature of HPT / autofilecreate featute of HTick / etc..., the config file must be writeable.

2.2 Syntax

All symbols are not case-sensitive.

{<whiteSpace>} at the start of the line will be ignored.

All keywords are evaluated as occurring, the first matching keyword found is valid. If there are more then one keywords of the same type allowed, the last line matching the situation is valid. Another words: second definition overwrite the previous one. If no match is found, a default-value will be used.

"#" at the start of a line or <whiteSpace>#<whiteSpace> within the line starts a comment. The comment ends with the line.

If the first word in a line is an undefined keyword, program exits with error message.

Each keyword has to start a new line.

Keyword parameters:

<integer>

string including integer numbers, like: 1234567890

<string>

text string

<bool>

may be set to "1", "0", "yes", "no", "on", "off", and also without parameters (it means "on").

<addr>

address string like zone:net/node[.point][@domain]

example: 2:5000/117

<file>

file name. path can be omitted.

<path>

only path. trailing slash may be included or not.

Note! [<parameter>] means that it can be omitted.

FIDOCONFIG library can set up internal variables:

set basedir=/home/user/fido/

[OS] variable automatically setting up for following opetaring systems:

UNIX

All unix-like OS: Linux, *BSD, BeOS, ...

OS/2

WIN

MSDOS

You can set something like:

if [OS]==UNIX tearline `uptime` endif

Some programs can be compiled with module variavle. It can be used for config parsing speed up:

if [module]==htick include /etc/ftn/fileareas endif

And if HPT is running, fileareas don't parsed, because [module]==hpt.

There are following modules available:

hpt (Highy Portable Tosser)

htick (Husky Tick)

hptutil

hpucode

Also external variables van be parsed:

autoexec.bat: SET VAR=myvar fidoconfig: if [VAR]==myvar ... else ... endif ifdef UNIX MsgBaseDir [home]/msgbase endif

You can use external programs output via `cmd`. It is available only for UNIX & OS/2+EMX:

Name Power Station under `uname -mrs`

List of the additional commands:

set, if, if not, else, elseif, ifdef, ifndef, endif.

You can compare with a pattern by using =~ and !~ instead of == and !=:

if [VAR] =~ *substr* ... endif if [VAR] !~ bla?bla* ... endif

2.3.1 version

Syntax:

version <integer>.<integer>

Example:

version 0.13

Here you specify to which version of fidoconfig your config belong. Currently this statement does nothing.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.2 name

Syntax:

name <string>

Example:

name Leetebrok BBS

Here you specify your Systems name.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.3 location

Syntax:

location <string>

Example:

location Dusseldorf

You specify your Location here.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.4 sysop

Syntax:

sysop <string>

Example:

sysop Matthias Tichy

You specify your name with this keyword.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.5 include

Syntax:

include <file>

Example:

include /etc/fido/areas

You can include other files into your config file. For example if you would like to have different config parts, you can include a file and (via cron job or manually) change the content of this file without changing the rest of the config. Additionally you can split your config in different parts. So you can have your fileareas definition in another file than your msgareas definition. This gives your the ability to have some survey about your config.

This statement can be repeated. But dont make recursive includes. eg include a file which includes another which includes the first. Although this will be detected and fixed many times, there is a chance that it will not be detected one time.

2.3.6 address

Syntax:

Address <addr>

Example:

Address 2:2433/1245

This command specifies which akas your system has. This statement is full 5d compatible, which means you can have also addresses like 2:2433/1245.1@fidonet.org. The first address statement is your main aka which will be used by tossers on different occasions, for example if zone number could not be taken from the @INTL Kludge in netmails.

This statement can be repeated. The domain name is not full supported throughout fidoconfig

2.3.7 outbound

Syntax:

outbound <path>

Example:

outbound /var/spool/fido/out

This command specifies your outbound path. This outbound path is binkley-style. A binkley style outbound consists of a base path and subdirectories. Each subdirectory represents a place for all the files for one zone. The base path is the zone path for your base zone.

Example:

/var/spool/fido/out This directory contains the files for your base zone. /var/spool/fido/out.003 This directory contains the files for zone 3. /var/spool/fido/out.00A This directory contains the files for zone 10.

The zone directory contains the flow-files for each node. A Flow-file of a node has the name NNNNFFFF.?lo

NNNN The 4-digit hex-number of the nodes netnumber. FFFF The 4-digit hex-number of the nodes nodenumber. ? Here the flavour of the mails can be chosen. h-hold, c-crash, f-normal, d-direct, i-immediate.

For points there is a subdirectory with nodes flowfilename with suffix.pnt. In this subdirectory the flowfiles have the names PPPPPPPP ( 8-digit point number in hex).

For a deeper background on a binkley-style outbound see the binkley-term documentation and source code.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.8 inbound

Syntax:

inbound <path>

Example:

inbound /var/spool/fido/in

This command specifies where your inbound files are stored. This directory is the base directory which means if you have a connection which ist not protected and the other system is not listed. The files go in here. Only netmails are tossed from this inbound.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.9 tempDir

Syntax:

tempDir <path>

Example:

tempDir /var/tmp

This command specifies the path where the temporary files of the fido-programs should be stored. This directory can erase in boot time. Good idea is set it to memory disk.

Default value is path specified by TEMP, TMP or TMPDIR enviroment variables (use TEMP first, if it not defined then use TMP, next use TMPDIR). If these enviroment variables not defined: - win32 version use %WINDIR%\TEMP (usualy c:\windows\temp for Win9x/Me and c:\winnt\temp for Windows NT/2000/XP) - versions for unix-like OS'es use /tmp - other versions use c:\

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.10 logfiledir

Syntax:

logFileDir <path>

Example:

logFileDir /var/spool/log/fido

This command specifies the path where the log-files of the fido-programs should be stored.

This statement cannot be repeated.

Some programs use logFileDir for persistent temporary/work files.

2.3.11 syslogfacility

Syntax:

syslogFacility <facility>

Example:

syslogFacility local0

Some Husky programs are able to write logs via syslogd instead of via log file. For those programs, this keyword definies which facility to use for writing to the syslog. Syslogd will use this facility name to decide which syslog logfile the log messages will go to. Common names that can be used include mail, news, uucp, local0. The exact values that can be used depend upon your operating system. Refer to the man page for `syslog.conf' or `/usr/include/sys/syslog.h' for more information.

Logging via syslogd is only supported on UNIX platforms, and currently only used by `herp', but not by any other Husky program. If a Husky program logs via log file or via syslog or both depends on the program and not on your fidoconfig file. Consult the individual program's documentation.

2.3.12 LogLevels

Syntax:

loglevels <string>

Example:

loglevels 1345789,A-F Q

This statement define log levels list for store messages into log file. Hiphen is range char (A-F expands to ABCDEF). Recognise only alpha & numeric log level characters, other ignored.

In example we output to log messages with levels 3,4,5,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,Q.

The log levels are following:

1 - Program start, end;

2 - dupecheck

3 - linking messages

4 - scanning messages

5 - posting messages

6 - execute strings

7 - bundles, pkts, links, freqs, file routing, file attachs, msg packing

8 - areafix, relink, autocreate

9 - error messages (critical, usually exit on error)

0 - creation of file-flags

A - trivial error messages (print message and continue execution)

B - warnings & alerts

C - informational messages

D - statistics

E - summary

F - print program name & version

G - message send/sent

H - recoding operations & recoding tables read/write

I - Generate or check MSGID

J - Echomail phase

K - Filebox phase

L - Netmail phase

M - File create

N - File delete

O - operations with opened file (read, write, seek, ...)

P - Directory operations (create, delete, rename, ...)

Q - Email message parsing and construct

R - Truncate file

S - File send/sent

T - Test files (exist, permittions, etc.)

U - Functions calls (enter to func & leave from it)

V - reserved

W - reserved

X - Filenames construct

Y - Link messagebase pass (some phase in hptlink & etc)

Z - debug messages: source lines (functions control points).

a-z - debug messages

Default value: 1234567890ABCDEF

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.13 ScreenLogLevels

Syntax:

screenloglevels <string>

Example:

screenloglevels 2345789,A-C

Set levels of log output to screen. See loglevels for details.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.15 seqoutrun

Syntax:

seqOutrun <string>

Example:

seqOutrun 1m

Set maximum outrun for msgid sequence from current time.

Use decimal number with optional suffix.

Suffixes are:

y - year (365 days)

m - month (31 days)

w - week (7 days)

d - day

h - hour

Set seconds without suffix.

By default use environment variable SEQOUT or 3y if unset.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.3.16 Pack

Syntax:

Pack zip|tgz|rar|arc|arj|..... <call>

Example:

Pack zip zip -9 -g -q $a $f

This statement sets the command line call for the packer. The file will be moved into the archive, that means the file will be deleted on the harddisk. It only remains in the archive.

$a will be replaced by the archive file.

$f will be replaced by the file which should be packed into the archive.

This statement can be repeated.

See also hpt and htick documentation.

2.3.17 Note

2.3.18 Unpack

Syntax:

Unpack "<call>" <offset> <matchcode>

Example for DOS:

This statement sets the call of certain unpackers according to a id in the archive file

call is the command line call for the packer (enclosed into quotes!);

offset position of recognition string in packed file;

match code hexdump of the recognition string for packed file, ?? can be used as any byte;

$a will be replaced by the archive file to extract from archive;

$p will be replaced by the path to unpack files (usualy tempoutbound);

$f will be replaced by the description file name if any (used by htick, see 'FileDescName' token; possible other husky programs).

e.g.: unpack "unzip -joLqq $a -d $p $f" 0 504b0304 files packed by zip can be recognized by 504b0304(hex) at offset 0(integer) they can be unpacked by htick using command "unzip -joLqq -d <path> <descrption_filename>"

This statement can be repeated.

See also hpt and htick documentation.

2.3.19 Note

All parameters collected in linkdefaults sections are copied to link configuration every time when 'link' statement found in configuration file. Link-related statements after 'linkdefaults end' or 'linkdefaults destroy' or before first 'link' or 'linkdefaults' statement are treated as error. 'linkdefaults' statement without 'begin' or 'end' means 'linkdefaults begin' 'linkdefaults destroy' destroys all default definitions.

2.6 NLTools keywords

2.6.1 nodelistDir		path for nodelists
2.6.2 fidoUserList		name of compiled fido user list file
2.6.3 nodelist		adding a nodelist definition
2.6.4 diffupdate		where nodediffs for this nodelist can be found
2.6.5 fullupdate		where complete updates for the nodelist are
2.6.6 defaultzone		specifying a zone number for a nodelist
2.6.7 nodelistformat		is it a nodelist or a pointlist?

2.6.1 nodelistDir

Syntax:

nodelistDir <path>

Example:

nodelistDir /var/spool/fido/nodelist

This command specifies the path where the actual nodelists are or should be written to. This path contains the raw nodelist (see section 2.6.3 nodelist). Also, compiled nodelists like the `FIDOUSER.LST' will be stored here.

This statement cannot be repeated.

2.6.2 fidoUserList

Syntax:

fidoUserList <filename>

Example:

fidoUserList fidouser.lst

If this keyword is present, the nodelist compiler (e.g. ulc) is instructed to build a user list file with the given filename in the nodelist directory (see section 2.6.1 nodelistDir). This is a simple text file with fixed line length that contains user names (nodes, points) and their corresponding node or pointnumbers. The file is sorted alphabetically by user name (case insensitive), so that it can be bsearched to implement a quick node numer lookup functinality. The fido user list file format is understood by msged, for example.

2.6.3 nodelist

Syntax:

Nodelist <name>

Example:

Nodelist nodelist or Nodelist points24

This statement starts a new nodelist definition. All the following nodelist-related stamtements change the configuration of this nodelist until a new nodelist statement is found.

The name that you specify must match the base name (without extension and without pathname) of the raw, unpacked, nodelist file. The husky tools ulc and nlupdate math the file name case-insensitively, but other tools may need the exact spelling. The raw nodelist file is expected to reside in the nodelist directory (see section 2.6.1 nodelistDir).

2.6.4 diffupdate

Syntax:

DiffUpdate <path_and_basname>

Example:

DiffUpdate /var/spool/filebase/nodediff/nodediff

Here you can specify the base filename of nodelist difference files (nodediffs) that are used to keep the corresponding nodelist up to date. The argument to the DiffUpdate is the full file name with path of a difference file, without the file extension. For example, if you have a file area at `/var/spool/filebase/24000', where your ticker places the updates for the German Pointlist, and those update files are called `points24.a26', `points24.a33', and so on, you would use

DiffUpdate /var/spool/filebase/24000/points24

The Diffupdate keyword is used by nlupdate, for example. The nodelist updater will unpack the difference file (if it is archived, of course, unpacked diffs are also supported), apply the diff to the corresponding nodelist, and delete the temporary unpacked diff again.

2.6.5 fullupdate

Syntax:

FullUpdate <path_and_basname>

Example:

FullUpdate /var/spool/filebase/nodelist/nodelist

This statement works like DiffUpdate (see section 2.6.4 diffupdate). The difference is that here you don't specify the location of a nodelist difference file, but the locations where complete nodelist files/archives can be found. Some othernets do not (regularly) distribute a nodediff file, but just hatch a new nodelist every few weeks. In this case, you need the FullUpdate statement.

2.6.6 defaultzone

Syntax:

DefaultZone <zone>

Example:

DefaultZone 2

Some nodelist files do not start with a `Zone' entry. This is the case for the German Points24 list, for example, but could also happen for othernets that only have one zone. In this case, you can use the DefaultZone keyword to specify the default zone number for all nodes listed in this nodelist.

2.6.7 nodelistformat

Syntax:

Nodelistformat <format>

Example:

NodelistFormat standard or NodelistFormat Points24

Here you can specify the format of the unpacked nodelist. The default is `standard'; this is the normal Fidonet nodelist format. You can also specify `points24', which is needed for the nodelist compiler to recognise a point list in the German points24 format as such, so that it can see the proper 5D point numbers instead of the fakenet numbers.

2.7 EmailPkt keywords

Common tokens:

2.7.1 email

command line for send file via e-mail

Link definition tokens:

2.7.2 email		email address of this link
2.7.4 emailSubj		subject of email
2.7.3 emailFrom		sender address used for outgoing emails
2.7.5 email		encoding of outgoing emails

2.7.1 email

Syntax:

sendMailCmd string

Example:

sendMailCmd /usr/sbin/sendmail $a <$f

This keyword is used to define send mail command & it's parameters. Macro '$a' specify position of the recipient e-mail address; macro '$f' specify position for name of file with message body. If '$f' omitted then message body to be directed to stdin.

This statement can't be repeated.

2.7.2 email

Syntax:

email <email-address>

Example:

email eddie@ironmaiden.com

This keyword is used to set the email-address for the link. This can be used to send pkts via email.

This statement can only be repeated for different links.

2.7.3 emailFrom

Syntax:

emailFrom <email-address>

Example:

emailFrom fred@ironmaiden.com

This keyword is used to set the email-address used as sender address for outgoing emails to this link.

This statement can only be repeated for different links.

2.7.4 emailSubj

Syntax:

emailSubj <subject>

Example:

emailSubj Fido over EMail message in UUE format

This keyword is used to set the subject for emails to and from this link. It may be ignored by some encodings (e.g. SEAT).

This statement can only be repeated for different links.

2.7.5 email

Syntax:

emailEncoding (MIME | SEAT | UUE)

Example:

emailEncoding MIME

This keyword is used to set the encoding for outgoing emails to this link.

This statement can only be repeated for different links.

2.8 BSOpack keywords

maxunpackednetmail packnetmail

2.9 herp keywords

2.9.1 reqidxdir

path for herp request index files

2.9.1 reqidxdir

Syntax:

reqidxDir <path>

Example:

reqidxDir /var/spool/fido/reqidx

This command specifies a subdirectory which will be used to store the request index generated by `herpidx'. This subdirectory should be writable for the `herpidx' process and at least readable for the user under which your mailer and `herp' will be run. `herpidx' will place various request index files here. The subdirectory should not be used for any other purposes. The index can become rather large, so plan for enough free disk space.

3. Converting fidoconfig to golded, msged and aquaed

1. fconf2golded fconf2golded <goldedConfigFileName> [<default.cfg>]

   fconf2golded ~/golded/golded.cfg ~/golded/goldDefaults.cfg

2. fconf2msged fconf2msged <msgedConfigFileName>

   fconf2msged ~/msged.areas

3. fconf2aquaed fconf2aquaed <aquaedConfigFileName> [<default.cfg>] (if you specify default.cfg there will be a include <default.cfg> generated in your config file)

   fconf2aquaed ~/aquaed/aquaed.cfg

4. Testing the config

Syntax:

tparser [-h|@minus{-help] [-Dvar=value] [-E] [-P] [/path/to/config/file]}

Example:

tparser -Dmodule=hpt | less

tparser (like any fidoconfig program) will display error messages if you have made an error in the config. It also may be display some warnings about your config settings. It will grumble on every Keyword it does not know. It will stop after the first error (not warning) to give you the ability to change your config.

4.0.1 Options

-Dvar=value

Set the config variable var to value.

-E

Dumps config into stdout (all config variables expanded).

-h

@minus{-help}

Display usage information.

-P

Try to create non-existing directories.
