Sentry v2.xx is NOT a drop-in upgrade for v1.xx. The validator mode
returns different errorlevels and the [BBSNUMBER] file is no longer
used. Please see section [3.3] of the docs for information on the
new method of new-user verification.
Also, the <-c> parameter is no longer used to specifiy a configuration
file, simply include the configuration filename on the command line.
I would like to say thanks to the beta testers who didn't mind having
a foolish boy's untested code modifying their userbases and
controlling just who gets logged into their systems, sans password.
Thanks especially to Kevin Kell, the inspiration behind this project.
v2.01 Jan 01/97 Last-minute change: SENTRY VALIDATOR AND UPDATER NOW
WORK IN THE NON-REGISTERED VERSION. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
v2.00 Scrapped the v1.x style of validating users
(flagfiles) in favour of direct-modification of the
bbs userfile. Removed keywords [BBSNUMBER] and
[OK_VALIDATION] and added keywords [LASTUSERBBS],
[RESPONSEFILE], [PASSACCESS], [FAILACCESS],
[UPGRADE], [DONOTUPGRADE]. Sentry 2.x will break
the validation config of 1.x.
Added [NOPHONECHANGE] and [NODATAPHONEUPDATE] for
those who are picky about what numbers get modified.
Now reads FrontDoor-style mailer logs as well as
Binkley-style.
Added [PHONEMASK] so that the phone number format can
be user-defined.
Added [NODE] for optional task number logging.
Added [BBSLOG] for optional writing of the username
and CID phone number to the BBS logfile.
Fixed bug in supplying long command line parameters.
Removed the <-c> parameter and added <-u>.
There was no way to disable auto-password, a null
[APW_KEYTOGGLE] now properly does that.
Name will be written to the log if the CID data
reports the account name.
Fixed trap which occurs with corrupt userbase.
Debug mode automatically switches to loglevel 5.
Reduced US registration fee to $8 (there ya go,
Gary).
Updated BBS phone number and registration address
information.
v1.20 Oct 18/96 Turns out that NONE of the DOS versions were working
correctly, because of bad memory use and DOS not
initializing variables like OS/2 does. Fixed the
subsequent "User Not Found" problem and added "Out
of Memory" error messages. Thanks to Phil Simpson.
Fixed mess when COUNTRY_CODE and AREA_CODE are
commented out.
v1.11 Jun 08/96 A BIT of ignorance (sorry), remember Jay, one's
complement is ~ not !, a bunch of logic errors
fixed.
Corrected trap with with non-plural words (this one
was nasty).
linesfromend wasn't showing up in log properly; added
linefeeds to validation log entry.
Couple more log entry problems.
v1.10 May 17/96 MUCH Faster USER.BBS look-up (especially if you're
running on a clunky 386 or 486 like me) and a
whole bunch of other performance tweaks (no doubt
introducing a bunch more bugs).
last_call check now date and time.
As for the bugs, a change I made to the errorlevels
were causing all private callers to be dumped, and
SCID logfile was reporting "validated" on failed
validations.
v1.03 Apr 11/96 Max v3 encrypted passwords are now recognized (SCID
will disable [AUTOPASSWORD]).
Max v3 second phone number (data) now recognized for
an easier way to let the user have an alias number
-- you won't need to update the phonelist file.
Change to current_time and last_call_date difference.
Out-of-Area and private now shown in log on low
loglevel. Display user's city and number of calls
rather than phone number.
Fixed toggling of APW if no APW_Keytoggle is defined.
Properly reports "error" on logtimefail and
linesfromend fail.
CHANGED ERRORLEVELS, updates to doc and register.txt.
v1.02 Apr 04/96 You'd think I'd test these before I release them.
Allows autopasswords even if the CID time is LESS
than the allowed time buffer.
v1.01 Apr 02/96 Didn't notice this till the month changed. Fixed a
small bug in the way I calculated last_call_date.
v1.00 Apr 01/96 First release of Sentry-CID on April Fool's Day,
because, let's face it, I'm a fool for working
on this program when I should have been studying
for finals.
"Excuse-me, you have snoo on your face."
"What's 'snoo'?"
"Nothing, what's new with you?"
