Thanks, I will revisit the web thing and play around with it, I already see that the configuration file on gitlab has more settings than mine.
However, I managed to reproduce the problem I had initially, and it is triggered by the upgrade from 3.18 to 3.19a. After starting Synchronet it complains that it cannot open the configuration file, and when opening scfg I see garbled strings in each node path field. If I clean it up manually the service will start, but I'm wondering if something else could be messed up in cfg file (?) If you need any info that may help let me know, but it seems it is reproducible.
