So sbbsecho is complaining of the following:
Node (#:####/###) externally locked via: /sbbs/fido/out/09100069.bsy
However, /sbbs/fido/out is empty. No bsy files or any files in it.
Are you checking at the exact moment that SBBSecho is "complaining"? Checking
some time later won't help.
Yes, it was spitting out the complaints while I kept an eye on the
directory. It was empty.
The actual location shown/logged. Most likely, your mailer was connected with e node in question at the time of "complaint".
No. This was actually a new install that only had one node to connect
with, and the binkit event was turned off. No connections had been made
yet at the time. I was trying to pack a test message before making the
first connection.
The culprit, for future reference, was that the /sbbs/fido directory was
not owned by the bbs user. That was an operator error. Once I fixed that,
the message went away.
