[About The Guide]
SECURITY is the security level (0 to 64,000) that will
be granted to a new user who logs on for the first time.
If you run a private system, and do not want to allow
new users to log on, set this field to zero. In this case,
the user is notified that the system is private and is
disconnected.
The four flag entries determine the flag configuration that
will be granted to new users. See the section on SECURITY
for a full description of the RemoteAccess security system.
NETMAIL CREDIT is the new user's initial credit against
sending netmail messages. The NETWORKING section provides
full details on setting up netmail costings.
GROUP NUMBER is an arbitrary number between zero and 255 you
may assign new users. It allows you to segregate users into
separate groups. Presently the only support for the group
number exists in the list users menu command (see the menu
command list for further details).
The next four entries, ANSI, AVATAR, CLEAR SCREEN and MORE
determine how these attributes are set in the user's
permanent record. Set to "No" will force the option off;
"Yes" forces the option on, and "Ask" asks the new user for
his/her preference for each setting.
The next two options determine whether new users will be
asked for their data and voice telephone numbers. The
numbers are checked against a definable list of "bad"
numbers. The EXTERNAL SUPPORT FILES section has more on the
PHONENUM.CTL file.
If ALLOW ONE WORD NAMES is disabled, new users will be
required to enter their name as at least two words with a
total length of at least three characters. Note that this
restriction only applies to new users; a user already in the
user database may log on using his or "handle".
If the HANDLE option is enabled, new users will be asked to
choose a an optional unique handle, or alias. THis is saved
as part of the user's record and may be used to log onto the
system later, and to send and receive mail. More details on
this are in the messages configuration section.
If DATE OF BIRTH is enabled, new users will be prompted to
enter their full birthdate. RemoteAccess will attempt to
"intelligently" identify if the date supplied is legitimate.
RemoteAccess may be configured to behave either like
QuickBBS with hot-keyed menus, or like Opus with command
stacking facilities. If the USE HOT-KEYS option is set to
"Yes", the system defaults to hot keys for each new user. If
the option is set to "Ask" then each new user is asked to
choose between hot keys or command stacking. The user may
change his or her choice by selecting the toggle hotkey menu
command (see the section on MENU FUNCTIONS).
The FULL SCREEN MSG VIEWER, when enabled, will display
messages to the user using an improved "fixed header"
format, designed for enhanced readability.
The final option on the new users submenu is ALLOW IEMSI
SESSIONS. When a new user connects to your system using
IEMSI (explained fully in the reference section of this
manual), RemoteAccess will skip the regular new user
questionnaire as it can determine the user's screen
parameters, location, password etc. automatically. If this
option is disabled however, all new users will be forced to
answer the regular questionnaire manually.
