BINKD(8) System Manager's Manual BINKD(8) NAME binkd - transfer files between two Fidonet systems over TCP/IP SYNOPSIS binkd [-CcDipqrsvdmh] [ -P node ] config-file DESCRIPTION Binkd is a Fidonet mailer designed to operate via TCP/IP networks. As a FTN-compatible internet daemon, it makes possible efficient utilization of TCP/IP protocol suite as a transport layer in FTN-based (Fido Tech- nology Network) networks. Binkd expects your spool for Fido-like networks to be in BSO ("Bink style outbound") or optionaly ASO ("Amiga style outbound") format. BSO is also used by ifmail and BinkleyTerm mailers. OPTIONS -C Binkd running with this option will reread the configuration file if it is changed. The modification time of the configura- tion file is checked every 60 seconds and on every incoming and outgoing connection. -c Start client only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client. -D Run Binkd as a daemon (cannot be used for client-only mode). -i Run Binkd from inetd. -P Poll a node. An empty *.ilo file in the outbound will be cre- ated, which will force Binkd to connect to and to receive mail from the node ( Binkd will also add "Node node * -" record to the table-of-nodes in Binkd 's memory if there is no entry for the node in the configuration file). -p Start client manager, process polls, quit if the queue seems to be empty after the next rescan. Implies -c. -q Quiet mode. Turns off printq, conlog and percents statements of configuration. -r Disable crypt traffic. -s Start server only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client. -v Be verbose. Binkd -v will dump binkd's version and quit. -vv Dump version and compiled-in options. -d Dump parsed config and exit. -m Disable CRAM-MD5 authorization. Implies -r. -h Print help message.
