BINKD(8)							      BINKD(8)

NAME
       binkd - transfer files between two Fidonet systems over TCP/IP

SYNOPSIS
       binkd [-CcDipqrsvdmh] [ -P node ] config-file

DESCRIPTION
       Binkd is a Fidonet mailer designed to operate via TCP/IP networks. As a
       FTN-compatible internet daemon, it makes possible efficient utilization
       of  TCP/IP protocol suite as a transport layer in FTN-based (Fido Tech‐
       nology Network) networks.

       Binkd expects your spool for Fido-like networks to  be  in  BSO	("Bink
       style outbound") or optionaly ASO ("Amiga style outbound") format.  BSO
       is also used by ifmail and BinkleyTerm mailers.

OPTIONS
       -C     Binkd running with this option  will  reread  the	 configuration
	      file  if	it is changed. The modification time of the configura‐
	      tion file is checked every 60 seconds and on every incoming  and
	      outgoing connection.

       -c     Start client only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client.

       -D     Run Binkd as a daemon (cannot be used for client-only mode).

       -i     Run Binkd from inetd.

       -P     Poll  a  node.  An empty *.ilo file in the outbound will be cre‐
	      ated, which will force Binkd to connect to and to	 receive  mail
	      from  the	 node  ( Binkd will also add "Node node * -" record to
	      the table-of-nodes in Binkd ´s memory if there is no  entry  for
	      the node in the configuration file).

       -p     Start  client manager, process polls, quit if the queue seems to
	      be empty after the next rescan. Implies -c.

       -q     Quiet mode. Turns off printq, conlog and percents statements  of
	      configuration.

       -r     Disable crypt traffic.

       -s     Start server only. Normally Binkd starts both server and client.

       -v     Be verbose.  Binkd -v will dump binkd's version and quit.

       -vv    Dump version and compiled-in options.

       -d     Dump parsed config and exit.

       -m     Disable CRAM-MD5 authorization. Implies -r.

       -h     Print help message.

SIGNALS
       SIGHUP Causes Binkd to reload it's config.

ENVIROMENT
       BINKD_LOG
	      log  file name.  Binkd uses this enviroment variable if the log‐
	      file token is not defined in the config file
