Since you see hundreds, I think you are using a BINKD.TXT that has the nodes
listed without the '@fidonet' part. So no 5D addresses. Which causes binkd to
generate those warnings when it reads the file, and comes across nodes in
different zones than your default.

Because you are a linux user it would be easy for you to generate your own,
using the php script originally by Ulrich Schroeter, that I recently updated to
this effect.
