[nos-bbs] Jnos: Invalid Control block id

[Jack Eifer]

Hi all,

Does anyone know why Jnos is producing invalid  'control block' numbers? 
This error prevents the sysop from using either the ax25 or netrom 
control numbers to reset/kick any entry on the status lists. In the case 
of ax25 entries, I can reset the entry using 'ax25 reset <callsign>', 
but that doesn't work with the netrom entries, which fail to release 
using either the 'reset' or 'kick' command.

The problem started during the last 4 Jnos complies (versions) and since 
the install of Ubuntu 18.04. Current Jnos version is JNOS-2.0m.5C  and  
Ubuntu 20.04.2. Note: the control blocks are 12 characters long instead 
of the typical 8. Not sure what's causing that change.

Any thoughts about what's causing the non-standard control block length 
and subsequent  'invaild control block' error message?
