• Sub-boards can end up with invalid associated FTN addresses

    Hi,

    (As discussed on QWW with Rob)

    1. Create a set of Sub Boards using the automated FidoNet set-up with a temporary node address, e.g. 25:1/9999.

    2. Later change the node address to a 'real' one, e.g. 25:1/123 and remove traces from system configuration of the old one.

    3. This 'orphans' the Sub Boards to still use 25:1/9999.

    IMPACT:

    1. EchoMail tossing and delivery still works as normal.

    2. However, Origin lines will be wrong - using 25:1/9999 still.

    SUGGESTIONS:

    1. Flag this as a warning in the automated configuration checking.

    2. Have an easy walk to do bulk changes in the configuration tool (similar to how Mystic allows).

    This was already fixed earlier today (automatically picks the nearest actual system address).
