-
- WARNING: This program is for use with TELEGARD v2.7 ONLY! Attempts to
- use it with any other version will destroy your USER.LST!
-
- WARRANTY: I make no warranty for this program whatsoever. It has been
- Beta tested with no ill effects both on my system and one
- other. As with any program that reads and writes to the
- Telegard system files, I consider it good practice to make
- a backup of your BBS before running this or any other program.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- To begin, create a directory where you would like PASSWORD to reside.
- Then copy the PASSWORD.EXE file to that directory.
-
-
- CONFIGURATION:
-
- To configure PASSWORD for use you'll need to decide if you want the
- current passwords to be changed now or in X number of days.
-
- To configure PASSWORD to require a password change now, enter...
-
- PASSWORD CFG NOW
-
- To configure PASSWORD to require a password change in X days enter...
-
- PASSWORD CFG DLY.
-
- Once you have entered one of the above commands you will be presented
- with a configuration screen for PASSWORD. The first thing you must do is
- enter the path to your TELEGARD directory (ie: c:\bbs). After this has been
- done, PASSWORD will import some information from TELEGARD into it's own
- configuration. Things like your BBS name and your SysOp name will be read
- into PASSWORD's configuration.
-
- (THE FOLLOWING APPLIES TO THE REGISTERED VERSION ONLY!)
- (EVALUATION COPIES DEFAULT TO: PASSWORDS TO STORE = 1 )
- ( HANGUP = YES)
- ( ILLEAGAL PASSWORDS = 2 )
- ( DAYS TO CHANGE = 10 )
-
- After the BBS and SysOp names are displayed on the screen, you will be
- prompted for the number of old passwords to keep on file for each user.
- This number may be between 1 and 10. PASSWORD will check new passwords
- against the ones on file and if the new password matches one on file, the
- user will not be allowed to use that password.
- The next thing you are prompted for is whether PASSWORD should hang up on
- the user if he fails to change his password. That is entirely up to you.
- After that, you are prompted for the number of ILLEGAL password attempts
- a user is allowed. A user must enter his current password in order to change
- to a new password. This number is how many times he can get his current
- password wrong before PASSWORD hangs up on him.
- The final thing you are prompted for is how often to require users to
- change their password. You can go as nutso as every day or as high as every
- 255 days. The frequency of change is up to you.
- Once you have completed all of the above, PASSWORD will build it's data
- file on your users. Once this is complete, you are ready to run PASSWORD
- with a user ON-LINE!
-
-
- ONLINE USE:
-
- To use PASSWORD with a user ON-LINE is fairly easy. Simply create a
- FIRSTCMD in your MAIN MENU as follows...
-
- Long Descript : <NULL>
- Short Descript: <NULL>
- CMD Letters : FIRSTCMD >> The t58 command is so this
- ACS Required : t58!s255 <<<< command is only run once
- CMD Keys : DD >> while the user is on-line
- Mstring : password.bat @R
- Flags : <HIDDEN>
-
-
- Then create PASSWORD.BAT.....
-
- copy DORINFO1.DEF c:\path_to_password
- cd c:\path_to_password
- password %1
-
-
- >>>> OR <<<<
-
- If PASSWORD is in you MAIN BBS Directory....
-
- Long Descript : <NULL>
- Short Descript: <NULL>
- CMD Letters : FIRSTCMD >> The t58 command is so this
- ACS Required : t58!s255 <<<<<< command is only run once
- CMD Keys : DD >> while the user is on-line
- Mstring : password @R
- Flags : <HIDDEN>
-
- (NO BATCH FILE REQUIRED TO RUN THIS WAY)
-
-
- In the batch file that calls Telegard place the following
- immediately after the line that calls Telegard....
-
- if not exist c:\path_to_bbs\pwchange.now goto LOOP
- cd c:\path_to_password
- PASSWORD UPDATE
- goto LOOP
-
- where path_to_XXXXX are your bbs and password path
-
- That's all there is to it! Enjoy!
