Hello Vince!
I only use MBcico for connection with a special downlink.
I did notivce the problem you describe, but I did not give it much notice as I
could solve it with a direct entry for the node in question.
When MBSE reads the nodelist, it expects the dnsname to me in the nodename
field, or the ip number in the phone filed, or as eb extent to the IBN flag.
MBSE does not know about the INA flag. With the change to -Unpublished- many
systems and especially functional numbers returned to using function names in
the bbs-name field and moved the dns name to the INA flag.
So a change is needed to include the INA flag as a possible source of the node
name, or you have to use a preprocessor, that modifies the nodelist in such a
way that the hostname is put in the bbs-namefield.
So the problem is nodelist related and not specific for Linux distribution.
My needs are so low, that it is not likely that I will take the challenge, but
maybe Andrew will, if you are not up to it yourself.
