 ''[[dir:ctrl]]/sbbsecho.ini'' is the default configuration filename used by [[util:SBBSecho]] version 3, [[module:BinkIT]] version 2, and [[module:TickIT]] version 1. While other configuration filenames may be passed-to and used-by SBBSecho, the format must be the same [[ini_files|.ini format]] and only one configuration file may be used per invocation of SBBSecho. ''[[dir:ctrl]]/sbbsecho.ini'' is the default configuration filename used by [[util:SBBSecho]] version 3, [[module:BinkIT]] version 2, and [[module:TickIT]] version 1.

 Also note: authentication is performed by the //answering// BinkP node (server/service), so while one security level may work okay for outgoing connections to a linked-node, its possible that there could be problems (incompatibilities) with incoming connections from that same linked-node. It's a good idea to test both incoming and outgoing connections with a linked-node before increasing the BinkP session security level. Also note: authentication is performed by the //answering// BinkP node (server/service), so while one security level may work okay for outgoing connections to a linked-node, its possible that there could be problems (incompatibilities) with incoming connections from that same linked-node.
