Can anyone visit my BBS's web site and test the Flash Telnet app listed at the bottom of the main screen and let me know if they're able to connect? I can't test it myself because I can't do "hairpinning" to my DDNS hostname and back.

Thanks, Al, Denn, Paul. I'm glad *that's* working. That leaves just one or two more things to fix or tweak here!

One or two things to fix or tweak? I beg to differ!
In any event.. have fun. :)

Well, yes, I think so. I did a lot of work on the web interface yesterday,
with trying to add different door games. Oh, and figure out how to update from CVS without losing my customizations and configurations, to see if that fixes my occasional segmentation fault crashes.
I think I'm around 85% to 90% of the way toward getting a complete web-based BBS working (not counting still needing telnet for doors), which is what I'm after. Then I'll add it to the list.

It shows. Your BBS web interface is nice and clean.
One day I will beautify mine.. :)

If you follow the directions at http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix you won't go wrong. There is a section there for updating.

My todo list seems to get longer, rather than shorter. I am working on it though.. :)
I wonder if sbbs can be daemonized as an unprivileged user instead of having to run as root?
code. (God only knows where the web FTP server's screens are generated from. I'll find them though.)
Gotta fix the crashes, and get sbbs to run as a daemon/service on boot instead of having to manually start it in a command console. I wonder if sbbs can be daemonized as an unprivileged user instead of having to run as root? (Dang, that's one more "to-do list" addition! You're right!)I think i saw you are running sbbs on linux - i have a set of scripts to start sbbs at boot time and use screen to let you connect to the admin console and disconnect for later use. You can get it in the download area at https://synchronetbbs.org

yes it can... that's how SBBS can be started as root to bind to <1024 ports and
then drop its privs to that of the user it is running as...
Max uses this li'l ole SYSV init script for her SBBS running on ubuntu server... i don't know if it has been modified or not, though... also not sure where it was found and copied from...
watch the wordwrap... if i've counted right, there's 100 lines including the blank one at the end...
the script is owned by root:root and has permissions 755...

Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it wrong...
... I'd recommend it, and those that know me know what that's worth.

Thanks. I couldn't get my system to recognize that script as a service when I put it in init.d. I'm still working on daemonizing SBBS.

awww, geez... sorry... yeah, there's a command thing you run that scans init.d and makes the softlinks in the various rc.x directories... i totally forget what that command is, though :( :( :(

It's OK. After doing a CVS update yesterday morning, the instructions
for starting sbbs in daemon mode on the Unix install page of the wiki worked, which they didn't before.
