- NAME
- flipbits.tos - toggle user log privilege flags
-
- SYNOPSIS
- flipbits
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Flipbits allows the Sysop to set or clear, en masse, the
- net, mail and/or door privilege flags of the entire user
- log. It must be run from the directory in which
- ctdltabl.sys resides.
-
- This program should be run whenever one of the ctdlcnfg.sys
- parameters "allnet", "allmail" or "alldoor" is changed.
- These parameters affect new users signing on, but existing
- users keep the same privilege settings they had before.
- Hence this program, to alter existing log entries.
-
- When run, the program will prompt for the net privilege flag
- like so:
-
- Set the net priv bit?
-
- If the question is answered "Y", it will then prompt:
-
- Bestow net privs ('Y') or remove them ('N')?
-
- The mail and door privilege flags are processed identically
- in turn. At this point, the program crunches through the
- user log and updates the flag settings as requested.
-
- All users with Aide or Sysop status are left alone by this
- program. Presumably they have been set up correctly in the
- first place by the Sysop.
-
- OPTIONS
- None.
-
- BUGS
- None known (knock on wood veneer).
