DoorLock
PCBoard Utility To Lock Certain Users From Using a Door
Written By Ray Novino
RunWay BBS (215) 623-6203
Version 1.a
INTRODUCTION:
-------------
DoorLock is a simple utility which will prevent certain users
from accessing certain doors. I needed something that would look
at the callers name and if found not allow the caller into the door.
The reason I created the door was that I had a request from a registered
user that he didn't want his children to access our adult conferences.
Because we use a door to grant them access, and because his security was
high enough to use the door anytime I felt the need to create DoorLock.
Because DoorLock is ran in your batch file I'm sure many of you will also
find other uses for it such as in your $$login or $$logoff batch files.
DoorLock also provides an option to display a message to the caller
telling them they have been locked out of the door.
I looked for an existing utility to do this but everything I found was
geared towards the callers security level.
DISCLAIMER:
-----------
This program is provided "AS IS". No warranty of any kind is
expressed or implied. YOU USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK. I take no
responsibility for any damage caused directly or indirectly from the use or
the inability to use this program. I will not accept responsibility for
any system damage, loss of profit or any other special, consequential or
incidental damages resulting from the use of or inability to use this
product.
Every effort has been made to avoid error and moderately extensive
testing has been performed on this program, however, I do not warrant them
to be fit for any purpose or to be free from error and disclaim any
liability for actual or any other damage arising from the use of this
program.
REGISTRATION:
-------------
DoorLock is offered FREE to all registered PCBoard Sysops.
QUICKSTART:
-----------
Edit DOORLOCK.LST - Each line contains a callers name who you want
locked from the door.
Edit DOORLOCK.MSG - [OPTIONAL] - If this file is found then it will
be copied to PCBDOOR.TXT and displayed to the caller upon return to
PCBoard. If you don't want anything displayed just delete the file.
Edit your door batch file - DoorLock reads the PCBoard.sys file so be
sure to run it before changing out of your PCBoard directory.
@Echo off
@DOORLOCK
if errorlevel 1 goto End
H:
CD\DOOR
Run Door
Do Something
:End
Copy DoorLock.exe, DoorLock.lst, and DoorLock.msg to your PCBoard
Directory, directory in your path, or any other directory you like.
SPECIAL NOTES:
--------------
1. Doorlock expects to find PCBoard.sys in the current directory.
2. DoorLock.exe and all related files can be located anywhere although
the DoorLock.lst and DoorLock.msg files must be located in the same
directory as the .EXE file.
3. DoorLock returns a DOS errorlevel of 1 if the callers name is found
in the list.
PROBLEMS/SUGGESTIONS:
---------------------
I can be reached at RunWay BBS (215) 623-6203, SaltAir, or the sysop
conferences on ILink and Smartnet.
