- Before you run your CDor version of RBBS, you must change your PASSWRDS file!
- There are now a total of 18 Parameters (i.e. 17 commas) you must set. The
- new parameters are:
-
- prm14: number of carrier drops allowed before ruducing access level by prm15
- prm15: increment to lower access by for too many dropped carriers
- prm16: logon interval to require a forced password change
- prm17: TurboLogon for first call of the day (1=yes, 0=no)
- prm18: Upload Time award factor
-
- Dropped Carriers Drop Access Level Mod:
- ---------------------------------------
- You can configure RBBS via the PASSWRDS file to automatically lower any
- callers Access Level. This is done by adding two extra parameters to the
- PASSWRDS File - number of carrier drops allowed, and increment to lower
- the access level. For example,
- BEFORE: (stock RBBS)
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0
- AFTER:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1
-
- will lower a caller with access level 10 one integer lower for every 20
- dropped carriers. If you do not want to lower their access level, use a
- 0 for the last paramter.
-
- | Note: to use the Canned "you dropped carrier" message mod, so that any
- | carrier dropper by security gets the canned message, set parameter 15 to -1
-
- The Time to Change Password Mod:
- --------------------------------
- After so many calls, the caller is forced to change their password. This
- is controlled by yet another entry in the password files, a number is used
- to indicate how many calls go by before the user must change their password.
- A 0 will turn off this feature. So the PASSWRDS file from above will look
- like this:
-
- BEFORE: (stock RBBS)
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0
- AFTER THE DROPPED CARRIER MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1
- AFTER THE PASSWORD MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1,50
-
- This will make the caller change their password every 50 calls.
-
- Turbo Logon AFTER first Call Mod:
- ---------------------------------
- You can configure RBBS via the PASSWORDS file to only allow those with
- TurboLogon access as set in CONFIG to use Turbo Logon only after their
- first call of the day. You must change the PASSWRDS file (again) as
- follows:
-
- BEFORE: (stock RBBS)
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0
- AFTER THE DROPPED CARRIER MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1
- AFTER THE PASSWORD MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1,50
- AFTER THE TURBO LOGON MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1,50,1
-
- A 1 means the caller (If he or she already has TurboLogon privleges as
- set in CONFIG with their access level) can have TurboLogon on their first
- call of the day. A 0 in this field means they will not have TurboLogon
- until after their first call of the day.
-
- Upload Time Factor in PASSWRDS File:
- ------------------------------------
- An 18th parameter to the Passwords file is for controlling Upload Time Factors
- by security instead of the global one you set in config. This value works the
- same way as in config - 1 for no time taken, no time given, then 2 and higher
- multiplies the time it took to upload the file and gives it back to the
- uploader. This new parameter is handy to give different access levels
- different upload time factors and to also give different time factors during
- different hours of the day. Here is how the above PASSWRD file lines will
- look:
-
- BEFORE: (stock RBBS)
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0
- AFTER THE DROPPED CARRIER MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1
- AFTER THE PASSWORD MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1,50
- AFTER THE TURBO LOGON MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1,50,0
- AFTER UPLOAD TIME FACTOR MOD:
- ,10,15,15,365,10,,,0,0,0,0,0,20,1,50,0,3
