    Hello everybody!

    As I am back on the fidonet for a few weeks now and all the basic stuff is running fine. I wanted to start for the next part of reestablishing my old Shadow Corner BBS. I'm running binkd with husky as the basic setup. husky supports the building of file lists, so far so good. But I did not find a file request processor included in husky, but as a lot of documentation is in russian language, I might haved missed some information.

    What file request processors do you use?
    (standalone, I do not have a BBS backend installed yet and running on linux on a raspberry pi).

    Thanks a lot for your input!

    I just happened to stop by in thes echo. I don't normally read here. But I see you need some help with something that I have been using for years. I don't have a publicly available BBS either.

    If you know how to FREQ, just send a request to this node for "mfreq". It's a set of utilities originally written by a fellow from your part of Fidonet, Markus Reschke 2:240/1661 (who unfortunately left Fido earlier this year). If you can't FREQ, just send me a netmail and I'll drop it off to you.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    ... Velcro - what a rip off!

    I'm happy with mfreq v3.18 on a Devuan Linux x64 Husky Suite 1.9.0-cur 2019-01-08 :)

    Ciao!

    stuff is running fine. I wanted to start for the next part of
    reestablishing my old Shadow Corner BBS. I'm running binkd with husky
    as the basic setup. husky supports the building of file lists, so far

    (standalone, I do not have a BBS backend installed yet and running on
    linux on a raspberry pi).

    I also run a bbs on a Pi (3B+) as a back up for the main system.
    The Pi does a rsync every hour to ensure it is up to date but excludes various directories such as ~/bin as Pi is ARM and main is X64, there are a few others for similar reasons.

    The Pi runs mbse which is a total Linux system so there is nothing else needed other than crontab running.

    Needless to say the main system also runs mbse.

    Mbse is available as source from sourceforge (www.sourceforge.net/projects/mbsebbs)

    There are a few packages that also need to be installed before compiling it (using gcc) and on the Pi does take 10 minutes or so but I run it using a
    hard drive via a x830 plus case and a Laptop power source adapter (all via eBay) which is an easy process and the SD card is removed as not needed for the
    3B+.

    Hello Vince!

    I currently do not run a BBS package on purpose, but thanks for the information, it will be useful in the future to me.

    My RPi is running connected to a NAS that is holding all the file and message base. And all in all I am very happy with the RPi, it's doing exactly what it should do and is small and quite :)

    Hello everybody!

    thanks for all your answers, here or by netmail.
    I will have a close look on mfreq :)
