This system has been polling 1/100 every 2 mins making it hard for any other node setting up to confirm they are getting out as most replies to /999 were being picked up by the above systems incessant 2 min polling.

I have sent the sysop a netmail asking for him/her to contact me via email to arrange a node number of their own but had no reply.

At this stage the particular BBS is blocked from polling 1/100 (not my preferred way to go) so that others can use the /999 aka again. 2 min polling is just not reasonable.

I'd be more than happy to work with the sysop to help get them set up to
fsxNet if they reach out via email etc.

So yeah, if you have any contact with this system feel free to pass them my email avon@bbs.nz and we can work to sort things out.

Best, Paul

The 21:1/192 is my node, I'll check my logs and see if I see anything.

Avon,
Understand this is not the ideal method, however sometime the Draconian Hammer is the only way. no worries...

This has nothing to do with your node. Binkd is talking to two nodes at the same time. The process id in [ ] is important:

I wonder if SYS/ZYS could be filtered by perl and the session disconnected (if the polling persists). Maybe a question for BINKD (Fidonet echo).

It's proving to be more like whack a mole :(

It was much easier than I thought it would be:

binkd.cfg:
perl-hooks /srv/ftn/binkd/bin/999.pl

999.pl:
sub after_handshake { return ($sysop eq "psionguy" ? "Nope!" : 0); }
