and you can, as i have, specify where you want to install the binaries and
config files...


./configure --prefix=/home/myuser/fido --with-zlib --with-bzip2 --with-https
--with-ntlm --with-bwlim


with the above, my binary ends up in /home/myuser/fido/sbin with a name
containing the version of the build (eg: binkd-1.1a-92)... then there's a link
named "binkd" which points to that version... in this way one can switch
between versions by simply changing the link... my binary and the link are both
755 root:root

also with the above, binkd.conf ends up in /home/myuser/fido/etc as
binkd.conf-dist which i've copied to binkd.conf and edited as desired... the
conf-dist is 644 root:root and the conf is 644 myuser:myuser...


NOTE: i do not normally poll any systems... i generally just wait until there
is outbound mail... but i can poll if i so desire... when i do i generally just
do something like

  touch ~/fido/outbound/$(printf "%04x%04x.flo\n" 123 500)

it can be put it in a script and fed the address which the script can break
down to put the flo in the proper directory...
