Hi Torsten!

17 Dec 2016 00:47, from Torsten Bamberg -> Richard Menedetter:

 RM>> I have compiled binkd myself.
 RM>> Strangely it does not send the CRYPT option ...
 RM>> did I miss a configure flag that I need to set??
 TB> Well, possibly you didn't link all files into binkp.
 TB> The crypt option is hardcoded. Just take a look at crypt.c.

Hmm ...
It links with -lcrypt ... and I thought it is not sending the CRYPT option, but
the LOG from your side shows that I am sending it to you.

I am not sending it to OpenXP when I poll my sysop point:

No clue why.

I have BZ2, ZLIB and Perl active.

 TB> BTW: binkd is actually at version binkd1.1a-95.
 TB> binkd1.1a-75 is outdated. ;-)

I know ... I will migrate the fido system to this virtual server:

root@vserv:~# binkd -vv
Binkd 1.1a-94 (Dec  8 2016 11:29:32/Linux)
Compilation flags: gcc, zlib, bzlib2, perl.
Facilities: fts5004 ipv6

Just did not have time/motivation to do so.

 TB> If you want me to test your version, just switch binkd (you compiled

Strangely it seems that I already send the option to you.
So I am sure the "other" binkd on the new vserver is OK as well.
So all is fine.
I just do not get why I am not sending the crypt option to sessions with my
sysop point.

Anyways thanx for the answers.
I will check once more after I migrated, but I assume all is fine ...

CU, Ricsi
