- Quick and Short Sysop Module Instructions: (by N Hawthorn 12/1/91)
-
- This module was created by N Hawthorn.
-
- BEFORE YOU CAN USE THIS, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS !!
-
- (You MUST add the file "sysopstuff" to the "bbssupport" folder for MUBBS.)
-
- This does some "HEAVY" sysop stuff, like changing a user's record
- and listing users.
-
-
- Since this information is "confidential" there are two levels of
- "security".
-
- 1. You cannot get to the first menu if you are not priv level 19
- (Co- Sysop) or over (20 is Sysop).
-
- 2. You cannot get to the SECOND menu (Operations) without a "sysop"
- password ! (this should NOT be the same as your log in password)
-
- Tell any "Co-Sysop's" that they shouldn't even TRY to do the "Operations"
- because it will log them out WITHOUT ANY RETRY if they don't know the
- password! (any ILLEGAL attempts are logged to the user file too!)
-
- This protects your information.
-
- You MUST add the file "sysopstuff" to the "bbssupport" folder for MUBBS.
-
- It contains the sysop "second" PASSWORD ("sysop" right now). Use a text
- editor and edit it to SOMETHING DIFFERENT than your log in password. It
- MUST have a (CR) at the end of the password.
-
-
- Check userlist: (DO THIS FIRST !)
-
- It will tell you the position of any errors. This allows you to FIX any
- problems that may be occuring in your userlist file.
-
- Extra characters could get added to the file due to crashes/power glitches
- and such.
-
- If you get a error;
-
- JolliWrite (a text edit D/A) has a "indicator" of what character you are
- at in a file.
-
- Other errors in your user list can be corrected by you using a text editor.
-
- I have found "PowerEdit" and "Edit" to work just fine, even though they
- don't tell you what character number you are at. I use JolliWrite to look
- at the problem area, then switch to "Edit" to edit the WHOLE file (Jolli
- Write doesn't allow over a 32K file, and mine is 500K plus).
-
-
- User Edit:
-
- You can change anything you want, watch the format of stuff, if it has
- commas add them back. You don't need to add "~", it's done for you. If
- you do add a extra "~" things will get real screwed up.
-
- PASSWORDS: Passwords are UPPERCASE !!! you need to enter them in UPPERCASE !
-
- Log files are read in REVERSE order.
-
