%
%  SqaFix v0.99 sample configuration file
%
%  Revised: 12/Jan/00 by Pete Kvitek
%
%  Note: SqaFix scans its configuration file in a single pass, so it's
%        a good idea to keep keywords in the same order as they appear
%        in this sample configuration file
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'Address' keyword specifies your primary net address and aka's.
% Following shortcuts are accepted: , 
, but the
% very first address should be the fully specified one.  Max number of aka's

% is 32 and at least one should be specified.

Address 1:343/40


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'Alias' keyword specifies additinal aliases. The program will respond
% to the messages addressed to 'SqaFix' and all of the aliases defined
% There can be up to 15 additional aliases defined

Alias AreaFix
% Alias AreaMgr
% Alias AreaLink

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'IgnoreMsgsFrom' tells program to ignore messages sent from the
% specified name. There can be up to 16 additional names to ignore.

IgnoreMsgsFrom MsgTrack
IgnoreMsgsFrom TrackM
IgnoreMsgsFrom UUCP


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'IgnoreKeyword' lines instructs program to ignore specified keywords
% in the config file. This allows various third party utilities to store
% their info in the same config file. There is no limit for number of this
% keywords...

IgnoreKeyword   OtherPartyKeyword
IgnoreKeyword   YetAnotherPartyKeyword
OtherPartyKeyword and all its parameters
YetAnotherPartyKeyword and all its parameters


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'NetMail' keyword specifies your netmail path. This can be either
% *.MSG style directory folder, or Squish style database.  In the latter
% case precede the path specification with the $ character

NetMail /var/max/spool/netmail


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'SquishCfg' keyword specifies the squish configuration file path

SquishCfg /var/max/etc/squish.cfg

% to keep track of forwarded requests and idle passthru areas maintenance.

QueueFile sqafix.que


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'LogFile' keyword specifies the file where the program writes logs
% it's activity. Comment this keyword out if you don't need the log.
% Note: since SqaFix parses config file in a single pass, errors in keywords

% above LogFile keyword will not be written in a log file (they'll appear onl
y
% on the screen). If you want to make sure all error messages appear in your

% log file, move LogFile specification to the top of % SqaFix.cfg or specify

% it's name via command line parameters.

LogFile /var/max/log/sqafix.log


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'DetailedLog' keyword instructs program to log everything which it does

% Comment this line out if you find your logs growing too fast, and only the

% essential information will be stored then.

DetailedLog


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'HelpFileExt' keyword specifies a list of help file extensions which
% will be sent in response to %HELP [language] remote command. Note that
% first three letters of the [language] should match the help file extension.

% Also, the first extension specified is the default extension used if no
% language specified in the help request

HelpFileExt USE RUS FRA GER


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'SwapPath' keyword specifies the directory where to create the
% swap file when spawning a child process. If this keyword is ommited

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'RescanCommand' tells SqaFix the command to spawn to in order to
% rescan the area for the node.  The area tag and the node address will be
% appended to this line when spawning the command. Comment this line out
% if you wish never grant your downlinks remote rescan requests

RescanCommand Squish Rescan

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'RescanPassthru' tells SqaFix to rescan area even if it's passthru

;RescanPassthru

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'AllowPackerRequest' specifies list of packer names from Squish
% Compress.Cfg file which are allowed for %COMPRESS remote request.
% Comment this keyword if you don't want nodes to change assigned packers.

% AllowPackerRequest ZIP ARJ RAR ZOO
AllowPackerRequest ARC ZIP LH113 LHarc ARJ 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'KeepFailedRequests' keyword instructs program to keep failed requests,

% that is those from unknown nodes or with invalid password

KeepFailedRequests


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'UseMSGID' keyword instructs program to add ^aMSGID kludge to all

% if origination and/or destination zone of an automatically generated
% netmail message is the same as the primary address zone

;ForceINTL


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'AddTearLine' keyword instructs program to add specified tearline
% to all generated netmail messages. Note that tearline will always be
% added if 'AddOrigin' keyword is specified or when posting messages
% to echomail areas.

;AddTearLine


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'AddOrigin' keyword instructs program to add the default origin line
% specified in the Squish config file to all automatically generated netmail

% messages. Note that even if this keyword is not specified SqaFix will
% always add the origin line to the notification messages posted into

% If area description exceedes this limit it gets wrapped to the next line

MaxMsgLineLength      78


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'MaxMsgPartLength' keyword specifies max report message part length.
% Note that this should not be greater than the working buffer size which
% by default is 8k and may be altered by the /b command line switch. Also
% remember that Squish 1.0x can't process messages longer than 16k

% MaxMsgPartLength      8192
MaxMsgPartLength      32768


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'PasswordList' keyword defines the file with node passwords in T-Mail

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'DefaultNodeGroups' keyword defines the set of groups which will be
% made available to all the nodes which have no explicit group specification

% or have '*' in the 'Node' statement. Group is the single character in
% range 'A' - 'Z'. If group character is specified in lowercase, all areas
% in this group are readonly.
% Following are my own uses at 1:343/41.....
% Group Definitions:
%   A = Zone 1 Backbone (Backbone.NA, 00/01/24)
%   B = Alternate Zone 1 Backbone (Backbone.Z1B, 00/01/23)

% DefaultNodeGroups ABCrNS
DefaultNodeGroups ABrOZ

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'DefaultNodeFlags' keyword defines the default node flags which will
% be in effect for all nodes unless redefined in the 'Node' statement for
% a specific node.  Every flag begin with a '+' or '-' character which
% defines wether this flag should be set or reset. If the flag is not specifi
ed,
% the assumed value is 'not set', that is '-'.
%
% Valid flags are:
%
%       L[xxx]- specifies node access level. Area should have equal or
%               lesser level to the node to access it. If ommited the
%               node access level is assumed to be zero.
%               Note: +/- prefix is irrelevant for this flag
%
%       !C    - %CREATE requests are allowed for this node
%
%       !D    - %DESTROY requests are allowed for this node
%
%       F     - force area creation at the downlink system when it links
%               to the area by sending the %CREATE  
%               remote request message to it
%
%       K     - send request receipts with Kill/Sent attribute
%
%       H     - send request receipts with Hold attribute
%
%       C     - send request receipts with Crash attribute
%
%       P     - keep processed requests for later review
%
%       R[nnn]- %RESCAN requests area allowed for this node. Optional
%               parameter specifies max number of areas to be rescanned
%               during a single SqaFix run. If nnn is ommited or is 0 node
%               would be able to rescan any number of areas.
%
%       A     - autocreate areas if echomail msgs from this node are found
%               in BadArea folder
%
%       O[nnn]- allow linkup requests forwarding for this node. Optional
%               parameter specifies max number of outstanding forwarded
%               requests for this node. If nnn is ommited or is 0 node
%               would be able to request any number of areas.
%
%       N     - specifies that areas created by forwarded requests from
%               this node should not be made passthru
%
%       S     - %COMPRESS requests are allowed for this node
%
%       V     - the node can see restricted areas (provided they have
%               the V flag set)
%
%       I     - the node will be sent rules when linking up to an area
%               (provided it also has the I flag set)
%
%       Y     - prevent sending Notify command reports and area status change

%               notifications to this node
%
%       Z     - prevent report generation for the remote requests coming from

%               this node from name SqaFixHost.

DefaultNodeFlags +K +V +S +O0 +R0 +I +A +N


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

% The 'Node' keyword defines node as it its known to the SqaFix. The syntax
% of this line is:
%
% Node    [flags]
%
%       address         -- specifies 3D or 4D node address. The following
%                          shortcuts are available:
%
%                                 - node in your net
%                               - point of your primary aka
%                           - point of a node in your net
%
%       password        -- specifies a password for a node to send requests,

%                          maximal password length is 16 characters. If the
%                          password is set to '*', it would be retrieved from

%                          the file specified in 'PasswordList' keyword.
%
%       groups          -- list of groups this node is allowed to link to.
%                          These can be letters in range 'A' - 'Z' and the
%                          special character '*' which expands to the set
%                          of default group defined in 'DefaultNodeGroups'
%                          If areagroup is specified in lowercase, all areas

%                          in this group will be made readonly when linking
%                          up this node.
%
%       flags           -- node specific flags. These flags override the
