Hi! Marty,

The only thing I spotted there was a mis-match with the semaphore
directories.  I don't know if that's significant in the long term, or even
if it relates to the present situation.

The security settings are only relevant to how you want the echoes to be
shared with other nodes and points.  Bob's ought to be the highest as he is
your uplink.  Any other nodes' levels can be set at anything you like (at a
lower level), and match the levels set for -each- echo in the manager.  You
would end up with a situation where Bob is the only who can send new echoes
to you, whereas other nodes and points can send & receive mail only.

Can we have a look at just one of the Fidonet echoes configured in the
manager, please Marty?

Cheers,
Paul.

... SysOps just like to watch.
