_________________________________________________________________
mbox
_________________________________________________________________
Display the status of the mailbox server system.
>> Example of 'mbox' display:
.......................................
: User State S# Where :
: LOGIN 146 ns9bob:1025 :
: liz CMD 150 ns9liz:1026 :
:.....................................:
_________________________________________________________________
mbox attend [on|off] Default: on
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the mailbox 'attended' flag. This is used to
announce in the mailbox whether or not the sysop is present and
willing to chat (via the mailbox 'operator' command).
>> Example: mbox attended off
_________________________________________________________________
mbox expert [on|off] Default: off
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the level expected of a mailbox user.
When set to 'on', the user gets a short prompt.
When set to 'off', a long prompt is sent with the first letter
of each mailbox command as prompt. The user can then set Xpert
mode to get the short prompt.
_________________________________________________________________
mbox fwdinfo ["<forward_info>"]
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the mailbox forward info to be included in the R:
line for forwarded PBBS bulletins. An empty string ("") as info
clears the info field.
>> Example: mbox fwdinfo "HNLNET BBS"
(will show '[HNLNET BBS]' in the R: line)
_________________________________________________________________
mbox haddress ["<home_address>"]
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the home address field to be included in the R:
line for forwarded PBBS bulletins. An empty string ("") clears
the field.
>> Example: mbox haddress "BB7BBS.#41.GBR.EU"
(will show '@NS9BOB-5.BB7BBS.#41.GBR.EU' in
the R: line if 'ax25 mycall' is NS9BOB-5)
_________________________________________________________________
mbox jumpstart [on|off] Default: off
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the mailbox jumpstart code. When set to 'on' and
a "known" node connects to the mailbox, no extra line needs to be
send to activate the mailbox and the prompt is sent directly.
Warning: When set to 'on', it takes a while to hear all nodes and
an AX.25 connect could have a wrong start as there is no wait for
a level 3 protocol check. In particular, RSPF in virtual mode
could cause serious problems.
_________________________________________________________________
mbox kick
_________________________________________________________________
Forces the forwarding of mail without waiting for the forwarding
timeout to expire. (See the 'mbox timer' command below).
_________________________________________________________________
mbox maxmsg [<n>] Default: 200
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the maximum number of messages per mailbox area.
>> Example: mbox maxmsg 100
_________________________________________________________________
mbox motd [<"string">]
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the mailbox welcoming Message Of The Day.
>> Example: mbox motd "Hello, good morning and welcome ..."
_________________________________________________________________
mbox nrid [on|off]
_________________________________________________________________
Display or set the NET/ROM ID flag.
When set to 'on', the node id is displayed on the prompt line.
_________________________________________________________________
mbox operator [<ip_address>]
_________________________________________________________________
The operator command shows or sets an alternative address for the
control operator.
When set and 'mbox attend' is 'off' or the user is "shelled out"
and an mbox user requests a Operator command, the ttylink session
is redirected to the IP address specified.
Otherwise it works as before, in that the mbox user gets an
"Unattended" message.
If the system pointed to by <ip_address> has also set its
'attended' flag to off, then the user gets an "Unattended"
message, this time generated by the remote station.
This is a "flaky" way of having an "attended unattended" system.
_________________________________________________________________
mbox password "<password_string>"
_________________________________________________________________
Set a password string to challenge remote sysops attempting to
use the local Session Manager with the NOS BBS '@' command.
The <password_string> may be up to 30 characters. The first
character is character zero.
Remote users must have the sysop permission (64) in /ftpusers.
When a remote user gives the '@' command, the BBS replies with a
series of 5 numbers. The remote user must respond with the
corresponding characters in <password_string>. If the response
is correct, the user gains access to the Session Manager.
To fool anyone who may be snooping on the channel, the user may
enter several 5-character responses (each response on a separate
line). If one of the responses is successful, the user gains
access to the Session Manager.
The end of response input is signalled with an empty line.
Setting of the password can only been done at the system console
or in the /autoexec.nos startup file. The password can not be
displayed.
>> Example: mbox password "Maximum 30-character password."
Write down the password on a piece of paper, numbering each
character (starting at 0):
-----------------------------------------------------------
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
-----------------------------------------------------------
M a x i m u m 3 0 - c h a r a c t e r p a s s w o r d .
-----------------------------------------------------------
The remote sysop dialog then looks like the following:
..............................................................
: NS9BOB-5} @ {the Remote Sysop command} :
: :
: Type 'exit' to return. :
: :
: Be VERY careful!! :
: 22 21 18 2 12 {the mailbox password challenge} :
: zf8wy {a dummy response} :
: apexh {the real response} :
