- A few weeks ago I posted a "help" message titled: "USER VALIDATION & FILES".
- First off, thanks for all the (net and email) replies but I'm not out of the
- woods yet... ;)
-
- SUMMARY: New installation (Waffle out of the box), Waffle 1.65 for DOS.
- PROBLEM: Users cann't access FILES area even after being validated (VAL).
- "Validation is required to use the FILES section." message generated
-
- The problem remains unchanged, EXECPT, there seems to be a workaround: If
- I up the PRIVILEGE level (with ADMIN S) to "9" then the user can access
- the FILES area!
-
- So, the problem does NOT seem to be related to "errors" in /waffle/system/dirs,
- in /static, missing directories, etc. since that prevent even a user with
- PRIV=9 to access FILES... Once in there, all seems normal.
-
- All the settings for the "default" account and the other account, using the ADMIN
- commands seem normal. "ADMIN F" has access to files = "Y", etc.
-
- BOTTOM LINE: Anyone with PRIVILEGE < 9, can not access the FILES area, period!
-
- I've grep"ed" left 'n right under /system for a parameter that defines the
- "minimum" PRIV level for the FILES area and didn't find any...
-
- Remember, this was a new Waffle installation and not an upgrade...
-
- Thanks,
- Roupen _TheFrustrated_ Nahabedian ;)
