My system has a folder, "/sbbs/ctrl/C:\Fido\in.sec" and occasionally it gets a compressed network packet (0000ff5b.sa1, for example), but I can't for the life of me figure out where the folder is configured and by what process. I assume it's something to do with BinkIt because the .pkt files inside the above example appear to be incoming messages from pinet to the admin echo.

I checked my error logs and there's no reference to the above path, but there is one to another:

evnt ECHOLOG !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) in xtrn.cpp line 1090 (external) checking "/home/sbbs/sbbs/ctrl/c:/fido/echolog/" access=0

I guess pulling up the source is the next move.

My cuess is that in.sec is short for your inbound secure path. Try checking echocfg > Paths and Filenames.

No, it's in your configuration settings, not the source code.
"grep -i c: /sbbs/ctrl/*.cnf" and likewise for *.ini, that'll tell you which configuration files are referencing "C:".

Yeah, I think I found it because the files aren't getting made again, I killed the folder and so far everything is "normal".

I knew there was a grep thing... found out I had a bunch of c:'s left over from windows. I think I got them all out though. Fixed some filename errors along the way as well. (caps... /sigh)
