BINKD(8) 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.
SIGNALS
SIGHUP Causes Binkd to reload it's config.
ENVIROMENT
BINKD_LOG
log file name. Binkd uses this enviroment variable if the log-
file token is not defined in the config file
