When multiple servers are recycling at the same time, (e.g. due to saved change in SCFG) they'd each call sbbs_read_ini() with a shared global_startup struct, which in turn calls sbbs_free_ini(), which would free all the allocated network interface lists (including the global_startup one) using iniFreeStringList (just a wrapper for strListFree), but iniFreeStringList() does NOT modify (NULLify) the freed-pointer, so your second or third server that called sbbs_read_ini(), with the shared MainForm->global structure, would *again* free the same global interface list. This bug actually has always existed because get_ini_globals() freed the global interface list in the same way, except it *immediately* re-allocated a new one by calling iniGetStringList(), so the time window (opportunity) for this race condition to occur was much smaller. Truly, SBBSCTRL should use a mutex or other mechanism to protect the shared global_startup struct, but this is a first step to a full fix: sbbs_free_ini() should (and now does) nullify the freed network interface pointers by using strListFree() directly. I haven't been able to reproduce the crash upon recycle in SBBSCTRL after making this change.

smtp_netmail_addr() - not currently used anywhere else, but may be someday. load/mailutil.js's fidoaddr_to_emailaddr() has this same logic (for FTN addrs at least and is now used by nntpservice.js). Also, always pass a buffer to smb_faddrtoa() from the mail server since it's multi-threaded and its unsafe to pass NULL (using a static local buffer).

smb_faddrtoa() uses a static local buffer if passed NULL and we shouldn't be doing that from multi-threaded callers.

Use the terminal server sem file check interval instead of node_sem_check (it was only used in the event thread) and node_stat_check was only used in the control panel, so just support a registry over-ride, but default to 5 sec. These settings were artifacts from SBBS v2 (WFC mode), and not really relevant or in the proper configuration place.

... rather than just return false. This will make debugging this type of issue much easier in the future. sendmail.js was allowing empty recipient_list array arguments and the MsgBase .status was 0 and .error just an emtpy string - unhelpful.

This allows the [Global] section to be applied to each server section correctly Before this change, changing BindRetry in the global settings would result in the original global BindRetry value being added to each server/section of the sbbs.ini file.

Remove values, not keys, when setting a key with a global default. Use UInt16 functions for getting/setting TCP ports (this fixes an issue with the FTP PasvHigh port being set to -1 (instead of 65535). Use iniGetUInteger instead of iniGetShortInt for most other key values. First sbbs.ini save support in SCFG, still experimental.

I'm surprised more people haven't wondered aloud: why are all the Synchronet server settings in this huge sbbs.ini file? Well... this kind of answers that question: it's a hell of a lot of settings! And this isn't even everything (several advanced/rarely-used/borderline-deprecated settings aren't included)! As part of this change, I've replaced the old date/time display with the current config file path/name that's being edited (more or less). This will help when a sysop has multiple sbbs.*.ini files and makes it clear if you have multiple sbbs installs (like me), which one you're editing at any given time. I have not implemented any of the server setting edits (other than a couple simple toggles) or help text yet and this does not detect changes or save them to the sbbs.ini file, but I wanted to get this committed at this stage anyway. If you're running sbbsctrl.exe (or maybe even gtkmonitor), then maybe this is completely redundant and unnecessary, but I figured it was good to have these settings in one edit find/edit platform-agnostic location anyway. Hoepfully this will (when its done) make SBBS for *nix just that much easier for a newbie sysop/sysadmin.

Since commit fd90eec6 (2 months ago), the Synchronet Web Server on my Windows systems has occasionally gone into a state where every HTTP session thread was causing 100% CPU utilization and each new HTTP session thread would just exacerbate the problem eventually leading to complete system instability/unresponsiveness until the sbbs instance was terminated. This was more readily reproducible on a Win7-32 VM, but would occasionally, though much less frequently, happen in a native instance on Win10-64 as well. Using the VisualStudio debugger, I was able to narrow it down to this: Each new HTTP thread (eventually, hundreds of such threads) would get stuck in this loop in http_output_thread(): while(session->socket!=INVALID_SOCKET) { /* Wait for something to output in the RingBuffer */ if((avail=RingBufFull(obuf))==0) { /* empty */ if(WaitForEvent(obuf->data_event, 1000) != WAIT_OBJECT_0) continue; /* Check for spurious sem post... */ if((avail=RingBufFull(obuf))==0) continue; // <--- data_event signaled, but never cleared } There appears to be a race condition where this logic could be executed immediately after the output ringbuf was created, but before writebuf() was ever called (which would have actually placed data in the output buffer), causing a potential high-utilization infinite loop: the data_event is signaled but there is no data and the event is never reset and nothing can ever add data to the ringbuf due to starvation of CPU cycles. Uses of ringbuf's data_event elsewhere in Synchronet don't seem to be subject to this issue since they always call RingBufRead after, which will clear the data_event when the ringbuf is actually empty (no similar loops to this one). The root cause just appears to be a simple copy/paste issue in the code added to RingBufInit(): the preexisting 'empty_event' was initialized with a correct initiate state of 'signaled' (because by default a ringbuf is empty) but the newly added events (data_event and highwater_event) should *not* be initially-signaled because... the ringbuf is empty. So I added some parameter comments to these calls to CreateEvent() to hopefully make that more clear and prevent similar mistakes in the future. Relieved to have this one resolved finally.

This was needed back in the v2 days to be sure the escape sequence was sent *after* an output buffer before might've been cleared by a user's abort/Ctrl-C action. SYNC/ASYNC called riosync() which called rioctl(TXSYNC) and we have no equivalent in Synchronet for TCP/IP (modern sbbs). A user's Ctrl-C will clear all pending I/O, but won't prevent subsequent output from being sent (until the abort condition is cleared) as used to be the case with serial I/O.
