- mbox [<subcommands>]
-
- Without a subcommand, display the current users of the nodeshell.
- With a valid subcommand, it will execute the following commands.
-
-
- mbox alias [<alias>] ["cmd"]
-
- Set or show alias commands for the mailbox/nodeshell. To use an
- alias, the user must type the full alias which will then cause
- "cmd" to be executed. If the user types 'A', a list of sysop-
- defined aliases will be displayed. 'alias' is 6 characters
- maximum. "cmd" is 64 characters maximum. Note that "cmd" is in
- double quotes, and is interpreted as a mailbox command unless it
- begins with '@', in which case it is a console command. Only console
- commands that don't spawn sessions, and that don't require special
- privileges, are allowed.
-
- 'mbox alias' displays the current aliases.
- 'mbox alias <alias>' displays only <alias> if it is defined.
- 'mbox alias <alias> <cmd>' adds, deletes, or redefines <alias>
-
- Example: To add a new BBS command -
- mbox alias bbs "c port bbscall"
-
- To delete an alias-
- mbox alias myalias ""
-
- To redefine an alias-
- mbox alias bbs "c newport newbbscall"
-
- To invoke the console pkstat command-
- mbox alias pkst "@pkstat"
-
- See also "mbox showalias", below.
-
-
- mbox attend [ON | off]
-
- This displays or sets the attend flag. If set, users can initiate
- chat with the sysop via the O)perator mailbox command.
- (You need to have started the ttylink server for this !)
-
-
- mbox bbsonly [iface] [on | OFF]
-
- Specify whether iface is only accessible to stations which have
- the BBS flag set.
-
-
- mbox convers [ON | off]
-
- Display or set the access to the conference bridge. The mailbox
- or nodeshell 'CONV' command is disallowed when off. Default is
- ON.
-
-
- mbox fbb [ON | off]
-
- Display or set the flag which enables FBB batched-style forwarding.
- This is only available if FBBFWD was defined, and is used when the
- remote BBS supports FBB batched forwarding. Batched forwarding
- allows the forwarding direction to be reversed every 5 messages.
- If FBBCMP was also defined, compressed forwarding will be attempted
- if the correspondent BBS supports it.
-
-
- mbox fwdinfo [string]
-
- Displays or sets the string that is used in the BBS R: header
- when forwarding mail to other BBSes.
-
-
- mbox haddress [string]
-
- Displays or sets your system's hierarchical bbs address. As of
- version 1.08, you must include the bbs call with the hierachical
- address.
-
- Example:
- mbox haddress wg7j.or.usa.na
-
-
- mbox header [on | OFF]
-
- Explicitly turns the R: line in the message header on or off.
- With mbox header off, regular users can forward from jnos to
- another system designated as a full-service bbs without leaving a
- trace to their system. This avoids having a downstream bbs
- improperly identify the originating station as a bbs.
-
- The elements of the R: header are optional as of jnos107. The
- line has this format (where undefined elements will be dropped):
- R:yymmdd/hhmmz @:haddress [qth] fwdinfo #:mid $:bid Z:zip
-
- NOTE: 'mbox header off' also turns off the mbox third-party flag.
-
-
- mbox hideport [<iface>] [on | OFF]
-
- Display or set a port that should not be displayed when the 'P'
- command in the mailbox or nodeshell is given. Display if
- available to users with sysop permissions. This command is
- useful for ports that should be backbone linking only, etc. Note
- that currently users can still do ax.25 connections via that
- port, if they know the name. Default is OFF, the port is
- displayed.
-
- mbox hideport port1 on
-
-
- mbox holdlocal [on | OFF]
-
- Display or set the flag indicating if locally-originated messages
- are to be held for sysop review before being forwarded or readable.
- Only messages written to areas listed in /spool/holdlist are affected.
- The sysop would typically use the LH and RH commands to review held
- messages and approve the removal of the hold status. This command is
- enabled only when HOLD_LOCAL_MSGS is #defined at compile-time.
-
- If invoked to display the hold flag status, and the status is ON,
- then all areas listed in the Holdlist file that contain held messages,
- are displayed, along with the total number of held messages.
-
-
- mbox ifilter [on | OFF]
-
- Display or set the spurious I-frame filter flag, which when set will
- prevent unexpected I-frames sent to mycall from spawning a mailbox
- session. The effect of setting this flag is to deny access to the
- mailbox unless our ax25 bbscall, ax25 ttycall, convers mycall, ax25
- alias or netrom alias is used. Mbox ifilter is necessary to send IP,
- Net/ROM, and segmentation frames over ROSE circuits.
-
-
- mbox kick [<bbscall>]
-
- This is an immediate command. It forces the system to start a new
- BBS forwarding cycle. All BBSes in forward.bbs are examined unless
- <bbscall> is given, in which case only that entry in forward.bbs is
- considered. If <bbscall> is given in uppercase, a poll will be done;
- otherwise, a connect is attempted only when there is traffic to send.
- Example: at 35 "mbox kick w5ddl+" kicks just w5ddl at hh:35
- mbox kick K5ARH forces an immediate poll
-
-
- mbox mailfor [interval]
- mbox mailfor exclude [areaname areaname ...]
- mbox mailfor watch [call_1 call_2 ...]
-
- Interval is in seconds. At the end of each interval, the system
- reads all non-area mailboxes and checks them for unread mail.
- Next, a beacon is sent on all active interfaces. (see 'mbox
- mport' command). The beacon is addressed to the AX.25 address
- 'MAIL'. The data in this packet contains a list of the mailboxes
- with unread mail in the format 'Mail for: <user> ... '. Systems
- such as LAN-LINK can trigger mail-snatches from this beacon. If
- <interval> is the string "now" an immediate check is done.
-
- 'mbox mailfor' will show the status of the timer and list
- mailboxes with unread mail.
-
- In certain cases you might not want a private area to show up in
- the mail beacon; e.g., private areas to be forwarded to another
- bbs. You can exclude such areas from the beacon with the
- 'mbox mailfor exclude' command.
-
-
- 'mbox mailfor exclude area1 area2 area3 ...'
-
- will disable these area names from the beacon. You can give
- multiple exclude commands to build the list.
-
- A simple 'mbox mailfor exclude' shows the list.
-
- 'mbox mailfor watch call ...' will watch for new mail arriving
- for the specified personal mailboxes, and add a blinking MAIL to
- the first status line if new mail exists. To remove the MAIL from
- the status line, read the last message in the appropriate mailboxes,
- and force a run of the mailfor process by 'mbox mailfor now'. The
- sysop will typically want to watch his personal mailbox, and perhaps
- a "check" mailbox to which unusual mail is rewritten.
-
-
- mbox mailstats
-
- This command shows how many messages have been read and sent by
- users and how many messages have been received from and forwarded
- to BBSes. Also shown is the current amount of "core" memory un-
- used, and the number of logins, current user count, and number of
- different users seen since Jnos was booted.
-
-
- mbox maxusers [N] Default: 0
- Display or set the number of simultaneous mailbox users permitted.
- A value of zero disables this feature. A mailbox connection which
- would exceed the maximum permitted user count, is disconnected
- with the error message "Too many mailbox sessions".
-
-
- mbox mport [<iface>] [on | off]
-
- Displays or sets the interfaces for 'MAIL' beacons. Set this
- flag for each port you want the mail beacon to be sent on.
-
-
- mbox newmail [ON | off]
-
- When ON, users will be notified during login which areas have new
- mail since the last time that user logged out. This function
- uses a time stamp on a status file for each message area. The
- information shown can later be repeated with the 'AN' mailbox
- command.
-
-
- mbox noax25 [iface] [on | OFF]
-
- Specify whether iface is only accessible to stations connecting
- by other than the ax.25 protocol. Connections to the converse
- call are not affected by this command.
-
-
- mbox nobid [on | OFF]
-
- Set whether to accept or refuse bulletins with NO BID. Off means
- refuse if there is no BID. On means accept regardless of BID.
- Default is OFF (refuse)
-
-
- mbox nrid [ON | off]
-
- When set, the first time a user logs onto the system, the system
- will add the netrom node id in NODE:CALL format to the prompt.
- Users can then change it with the mailbox XN command. The system
- will use the new prompt format as set by the user the next time
- the user logs in.
-
-
-
- mbox past [<N> | flush]
-
- Displays the users that have logged on since the system has been
- running. If an integer <N> is provided, only the most-recent N
- users are displayed. If "flush" is provided, the list of past
- users is cleared.
-
-
- mbox password <newpassword>
-
- This sets a new remote sysop password. A remote sysop is a user
- whose entry in the ftpusers file has the SYSOP_CMD bit set. When
- a remote sysop enters the '@' command to the Jnos mailbox, and there
- is a non-null mbox password established, five random numbers are
- displayed. The remote sysop is expected to then transmit the letters
- corresponding to these numbers, taken as zero-relative positions in
- the password string. Several lines of five letters can be sent, only
- one of which need be correct. The last line sent must be empty, ie,
- just a CR. If the response is correct, the remote sysop is then given
- the Jnos command-line prompt, and may issue most Jnos console commands.
- Commands which would require creation of a new session are disallowed.
- Use the "exit" command to exit from the Jnos command level.
-
-
- mbox qth [location]
-
- This displays or sets the location of your system, and uses it in
- the R: headers when doing bbs forwarding.
-
-
- mbox register [ON | off]
-
- Enable or disable user registration. If the user gives an e-mail
- address during registration, messages sent will include a 'Reply-
- To:' header with that e-mail address. Setting this command to
- OFF will prevent the 'please register' message from being sent to
- new users.
-
-
- mbox reset [login_id_list]
-
- Force a disconnect for the named user(s), or list the names of the
- users currently connected if no argument is provided.
-
-
- mbox secure [on | OFF]
-
- This displays or sets the mailbox secure flag. If set, only users
- coming on over netrom and ax25 connections can make gateway
- connects if they have the right privileges. If not set, anyone
- with the right privs can do a telnet connect.
-
-
- mbox sendquery [ON | off]
-
- If on, users will be queried if they really want to send the
- message after they have typed the ^Z or /ex when sending a
- message. 'N' or 'n' will abort, anything else will send the
- message.
-
-
- mbox showalias [on | OFF]
-
- Set or display the flag which determines whether aliases (if
- defined) are listed in the mbox prompt.
-
-
- mbox smtptoo [on | OFF]
-
- This displays or sets the smtp header flag. If set, the system
- will include most smtp headers when forwarding the message via
- bbs forwarding. When not set, the headers will be stripped
- (default).
-
-
- mbox status
-
- Displays the current users of the system {NOS}.
-
-
- mbox sysoponly [iface] [on | OFF]
-
- Specify whether port is accessible only by stations with SYSOP
- flag set. Default is off.
-
-
- mbox timer [<nnnn>]
-
- Entering only the subcommand displays the forwarding setting and
- countdown timer value. [<nnnn>] sets the interval between
- forwarding attempts in seconds. Default = 0 (No forwarding).
-
-
- mbox tdisc [<nnnn>]
-
- This command sets the mailbox inactivity timer in seconds. If no
- user input has been received for nnnn seconds while connected to
- the mailbox, the user will be disconnected. Default = 0 = no
- timeout.
-
-
- mbox tmsg [<string>]
-
- Display or set the 'telnet message'. This is the message sent to
- telnet connections before the login prompt is sent!
-
-
- mbox trace [on | OFF]
-
- This displays or sets the value of the trace flag. If set, the
- mailbox is verbose about certain aspects of the forwarding cycle.
-
-
- mbox usersonly [iface] [on | OFF]
-
- Specify whether iface is only accessible to stations which don't
- have the BBS flag set.
-
-
- mbox zipcode [<nnnnn>]
-
- Set or display the system's postal zipcode. This is used in the
- R: line when forwarding.
-
