    Started getting these error messages about the time MSGMAINT was due to start (two users were logged into node 1 & 2 at the time):

    Also the logged in user at the time (me) had their user record corrupted.

    Could this be related to change:

    Sounds like a file system issue (no, not related to the mentioned change). Definitely do some kind of file system check. If the errors persist, try deleting the file ctrl/node.dab while SBBS is shutdown (it'll recreate it when re-running).

    If you also had user base corruption, could be more evidence of file system issue.

    Just had the same issue happen this Sunday.

    This time I didn't see the getnode error, but my user.tab is corrupted so I cant login to my BBS.

    You should have an auto-backup of your user.tab file in the data/user directory (e.g. user.0.tab) that you can restore, if you don't have another/more-recent backup.

    As for the cause, it still sounds like a file system issue to me. One thing you can check/play-with is the SCFG->Nodes... "Keep Node File Open" option (which defaults to Yes), just in case there is a bug and interplay between an node.dab and the user.tab files (but I doubt it).

    I've completed a fsck with no issues found.

    Its odd that when the corruption occurs, its only the first two records, sysop & guest.
