  • authbind

    From Grease@VERT/DARKMATT to All on Fri Nov 1 13:10:12 2024
    I used authbind to open ports in for my linux bbs. It worked. The only
    thing is, on the wiki, what ports it show to open and in Digital Man's
    search program there are a few others that it looks for. Do I have to
    reload all the other ports, or can I just do the two that I missed?
    Thank you!

    What two ports are you referring to?

    It looks like 17, 113, and 143. Can I just enable these through authbind,
    or do I have to rerun all?

    TCP/UDP Port 17 is the QOTD (Quote of the Day) protocol and is a sevice *disabled* (in services.ini) by default. It's not important. See qotdservice.jsfor more information.

    TCP Port 113 is for the IDENT protocol - Synchronet can optionally performan *client* ident services (not server). It's not important.

    TCP Port 143 is for the IMAP protocol (mail downloading via modern mail apps). It's not important.

    The use of all 3 of these protcols is diabled by default in a Synchronet installation.

    Okay. I just didn't want to feel that I left something important out.
    Thank you!
