- CLOG
-
- CLOG provides access to the userlog for the Sysop. To use it, the file
- CTDLTABL.SYS must exist, and so must be CTDLLOG.SYS.
-
- There are two ways of using CLOG. First, there is the simple call:
-
- $ CLOG
-
- This will print out on the console the list of users in the file as they
- appear in the file. The user of this program should be warned that
- Citadel does not put new users into the userlog in sequential order.
- Instead, they are hashed into the log. Usually, first user to log into
- the system ends up occupying the last position in the file! In general,
- users are sprinkled everywhere, so don't be alarmed if nothing shows up
- right away. Be patient.
-
- In any case, the list is printed out as follows. First, the log
- position will be printed out, which will always be in sequential order.
- If nobody occupies that position, then CLOG proceeds to the next log
- position. If somebody does occupy that position, then the name of that
- person (or alias) will be printed out, followed by his/her status as
- aide, expert/non-expert, screen width, and if they have net privileges
- the entry will be followed by a 'N'.
-
- The second way to use CLOG is to give it arguments. There are two
- arguments currently available in the MS-DOS version. The first is the
- "-P" argument:
-
- $ CLOG -P
-
- This will cause the passwords to be listed along with the user's name.
- This is useful if somebody forgets their password.
-
- An optional second argument is a user's name. When a user's name
- appears on the command line, then data for that account only will be
- shown. You may use -P and a user's name on the same command line.
-
- $ CLOG -P "SANTA CLAUS"
-
- If, for some reason, the sysop wants a list to be put out to a file,
- use the re-direction commands. If you want the list to be put out
- to the file LOG.LST, the type
-
- $ CLOG >LOG.LST
-
- Note: For security sake, you should be very careful with what files
- your users have access to. If a user should get your CTDLTABL.SYS and
- the CTDLLOG.SYS, they could use this program to gain access to all the
- users on your system. Do not create directory rooms with access to these
- files.
