[About The Guide]
The MESSAGES submenu allows you to customise a number of the
most commonly used "built in" display and prompt messages.
The SYSTEM submenu contains options that pertain to the
hardware/software environment plus some other global
options.
If you set ALLOW FAST LOGONS to "Yes", then whenever
RemoteAccess is activated in local mode, it will assume that
it is the sysop who is logging on, and will prompt for
password only.
If you are running more than one line, you should set CHECK
FOR MULTI-LOGON to "Yes". This will prevent a user from
logging on to more than one line at the same time, and
effectively using his/her entire daily time limit on EACH
LINE.
If you never (or rarely) call your own BBS remotely, you
should disallow sysop remote access by setting ALLOW SYSOP
REMOTELY to "No". This makes it almost impossible for an
unknown "hacker" to gain access to your system via your own
account.
EXCLUDE SYSOP FROM LIST, if set to "Yes", will cause the
sysops name to be ommitted from a User List, List of Today's
Callers, Who Else Is Online, and the Last Caller functions.
By inserting a special control code in a text file it is
possible to automatically activate a program in a shell when
the text file is displayed. As explained in the TEXT FILE
CONTROL CODES section, there are important security
considerations that must be looked into if you intend to use
this feature. If you aren't going to use it, set SHELLS FROM
TEXT FILES to "No".
