OK, here is my first crack at releasing an optional merge to RBBS-PC!!
This little number, when added into RBBS-PC 17.3A-C will allow the SysOp
to deny access to certain echo areas without messing with security levels
and multiple configuration files. What you do, is first, apple the MODs,
next, create files in the format <conference name>.<BAN>, with 'Conference
Name' being the 7 character name of the conf., as defined in CONFIG.
The reason I made this mod up is simple. One of my users got himself tossed
out of the TEEN echo. I was asked by the moderator to cut his access to it.
I thought, 'How the Heck do I do that?!?!?', there was no answer. Then I
realized that I would have to make it a private conference, and manually add
the 'safe' users, leaving 'MY MAN' at a non-active security level.
Well, that just didn't seem like something I wanted to mess with. I mean, a
public conference has no users file! It takes up a lot less disk space if
if it's kept simple like that.... So, I decided, let's butcher the code so
it searches a list for each conference, denying access to the users it finds
in that list.
So, here it is.... just add the names of the users you want banned from the
TEEN conference in TEEN.BAN, in the format of the included example files.
Case makes no difference as all strings are converted to upper case.
If you like this mess, drop me a line here at the Dragon's Lair, or even if
you have a problem <sigh>. There is a conference called TEKSUP just for the
purpose of supporting Dragon Systems Software. Otherwise, you may send net-
mail to Fidonet 1:274/40....
Good Luck!!

BTW, if enough people show an interest, I might even write a utility to add
users, subtract users, and do automatic subtractions based on date. Let me
know of any other features this program might need!
