║ INTRODUCTION ║ ─────────────────────────────────────────── -── ·· ·
╚══════════════╝
Did you ever wish that you could have a 100 percent secure conference
with rotating passwords to keep those pesky hackers at bay? Well,
this is the PPE that will do it for you!
With rotating passwords, it is impossible for this PPE to be
compromised by ANYONE! Passwords change on a monthly basis, and are
sysop definable. In fact, all screens, and prompts are definable
by the sysop to achieve the perfect interface with your system.
Best of all, it installs quickly and painlessly! Enjoy!
Once REGISTERED, there are NO "Registered To:" displays ensuring a
seamless interface with your BBS!
╔══════════════╗
║ INSTALLATION ║ ──────────────────────────────────────────── -── ·· ·
╚══════════════╝
Make a directory in which to place this PPE, ie: D:\PCB\PPE\CNFBLK\
and unzip the WCBK_100.ZIP into that directory.
╔═══════════════╗
║ CONFIGURATION ║ ─────────────────────────────────────────── -── ·· ·
╚═══════════════╝
i) Load PCBSETUP
ii) Choose the conference that you'd like to be protected by
this PPE, and edit that conference.
iii) Edit the -> Name/Loc of Conf INTRO File : E:\PCB\GEN\CONF1
and as the ONLY LINE in that file, enter the following line:
!E:\PCB\PPE\CNFBLK\CNFBLK.PPE NOTE: Of course use the path
that points to where
you installed your
Conference Block PPE!
iv) Then, go back to the main menu in PCBSETUP, and select option
"G" (Configuration Options)
v) Select (Configuration Switches)
vi) Select "Y" for the option "Force INTRO Display on Join"
╔═════════════╗
║ CUSTOMIZING ║ ───────────────────────────────────────────── -── ·· ·
╚═════════════╝
All of the screens can be altered, or replaced as you wish provided
you keep the filenames the same!
One suggestion though. Try installing it using the supplied default
configuration, then start changing things to match your BBS's theme.
If you want a QUICK and PAINLESS install, simply choose "Y" in the
CNFBLK.CFG file under the "Use Defaults" option. The PPE will
automatically use a built-in configuration for those who want it
installed YESTERDAY!
Pointers :
════════
1. Try to keep the CNFBLK.MSK, CNFBLK.SKP, and CNFBLK.IN
to about the same number of lines as the samples provided.
This keep everything on ONE SCREEN, and prevent scrolling!
2. When configuring the "Password prompt" line, and the "Next
Months Password" text in the configuration file, examine
the sample .CFG included to give you a good idea of how
your changes would be properly added to the CNFBLK.CFG file.
Again, install it AS-IS, then play with the CFG file, making
small changes to observe their effect. This will minimize
the possiblity of problems in changing these sysop definable
prompts
3. Observe the directions in the CNFBLK.CFG file. They are
quite explicit, and if followed as directed, you won't have
any troubles with your installation!
