- The following information documents the format for PCBoard's PWRD file.
-
- The PWRD file consists of one line per security level / password combination.
-
- The most important aspect of the PWRD file is that, like other PCBoard files,
- such as the FSEC file, PCBoard STOPS searching the file AS SOON as a match
- is found. PCBoard does not search for a "best fit" match. It finds the
- "first match" and then stops looking.
-
- When reading the file, the match is made based on the security level and
- password fields.
-
- If the password field is blank, then only the security level is used to
- find the match. That is, PCBoard uses the caller's CURRENT security level
- to locate the first line that matches.
-
- If the password field is non-blank, then PCBoard attempts to match both
- the caller's CURRENT security level AND the caller's password. If a match is
- made, then that line is used. If the not, the line is skipped and PCBoard
- searches for another match.
-
- The format of the file looks something like this:
-
- | ,10,30,32767,0,99,0,0,0,0,Y,N,N,N,N,0,0,T
-
- Each field is comma delimited. The order of the fields are as follows:
-
- 1) Password
- 2) Security Level
- 3) Time Limit (per day, unless Enforce Time is set to NO, then per session)
- 4) Daily K-Byte Limit
- 5) Base Baud Rate (for adjusting Daily K-Byte Limit)
- 6) Batch Limit (max files in a single download batch)
- 7) File Ratio (stored as 10 TIMES the ratio; e.g. 5.0 is stored as 50)
- 8) Byte Ratio (stored as 10 TIMES the ratio; e.g. 5.0 is stored as 50)
- 9) Total File Limit (max files can download until sysop resets count)
- 10) Total KByte Limit (max K-bytes can download until sysop resets count)
- 11) Enforce Time Limit (NO means time limit is a per-session limit)
- 12) Allow Alias to be used
- 13) Force caller to read personal mail on login
- 14) Allow multiple users to access current user-id simultaneously
- 15) Verify Caller by checkin Verification PSA
- 16) File Ratio Credits (credits towards upload file count)
- 17) KByte Ratio Credits (credits towards upload byte count - in K)
- | 18) Accounting Enabled (Y = yes, N = No, T = Tracking Only)
