| subject: | inet hostname overrides system name? |
Hello Deon! 18 Sep 18 06:00, you wrote to me: DG> In my quest to override nodelist settings with those in mbsetup, I DG> discovered that anytime a setting was put in Inet hostname (7.x.3), DG> any other logging reporting (mbout n ... and log files), show the BBS DG> name as the Inet Hostname. Can figure out why it should change the BBS DG> name? The original method for listing an internet hostname in the FidoNet NodeList was in the system name field. The INA: flag for the internet address came much later. MBSE was originally designed to look for the hostname in the system name field; then later adapted to other methods of listing the hostname, such as the INA: flag or attached to a protocol flag, or even an IP address in the phone number field.
