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).
