- GAPLIMIT - GAP BBS Call Limiting Utility
- (c) 1992 No Anchovies & Frank Capo
-
- GAPLimit is designed for the sysop who wishes to limit the number of
- times users can logon each day. Limits can be set according to user's
- security levels as defined in GAP's SECLEV file. As many as 50 security
- levels can be defined for GAPLimit in the registered version. Unregistered
- versions can define only one secutity level.
-
- GAPLIMIT.ZIP contains the following files:
-
- GAPLIMIT.EXE the program file
- GAPLIMIT.CFG the configuration file
- GAPLIM the ASCII (non-color) screen file
- GAPLIMG the ANSI (color) screen file
-
- Setup is easy. First of all, place the above files in any directory.
- I prefer to run it from GAP's default directory. On multi-node systems do
- this in the server's default directory. Edit GAPLIMIT.CFG to show the
- following:
-
- c:\gap <- path to DOOR.SYS
- No Anchovies PC <- your BBS name
- 10 <- default max logins per day
- 50-5 <- level = 50, max logins = 5
- 55-10 <- level = 55, max logins = 10
- 60-15 <- etc
- 65-20 <- etc up to 50 levels (53 lines max)
-
- Multi-node systems need a config file for each node and this config file
- MUST be in the same directory as GAPLIMIT.EXE. The name of the config
- file may be anything since GAPLIMIT.EXE needs this filename as a command
- line argument.
-
- Next, edit your LOGON.BAT file (in each nodes default directory). Add
- lines that change to GAPLimit's directory and run GAPLimit with the
- config filename (for that node) on the command line. My LOGON.BAT
- file looks something like this:
-
- @echo off
- i:\ <- change to server's drive
- cd \gap <- where I put GAPLimit
- gaplimit limit2.cfg <- node #2 CFG file on command line
- c:\ <- back to node #2 drive
- cd \gap <- default dir for node #2
-
- OK, if you've followed directions (and I wrote them correctly), GAPLimit
- should be ready to roll.
-
- GAPLimit creates a file (GAPLIMIT.DAT) in the directory it runs from.
- This file is a random access data file that keeps track of the number of
- times a user has logged on each day. It compares this number to the
- limit you have set in the config file if the user has a security level
- equal to one of the levels in the config file. If a user has a security
- level that is not defined in the config file, the default maximum logins
- is used (line #3 of the config file). Users that exceed these limits will
- see the screen files (GAPLIM or GAPLIMG) GAPLimit will drop carrier.
