Where's the source code? Frotz is distributed under GPL v2 and I'm not interested in relicensing it under anything else at the moment.

Apparently I have to actually create the area: NODEDIF and specify the path where the area is physically located.
About : Fdn, haven't figure out yet..

Marisa et all, any suggestions ? Maybe you are using some other alternative to TICKIT ?

Any guidelines at all?

I have to confess it's taking me ages to put everything together.

Hi,

I am currently starting to use TICKIT and I just processed one tick file but I am getting the following:

The instructions for TICKIT are a bit minimalistic, so not sure what to do about that.

Otherwise, if any other TIC processor is better for synchronet, can you please advise?

Many thanks!

yes, Europe does exit, but you only know after getting the most recent fidolist.
(I Managed after speaking with a Sysop otherwise now a days seems very hard to get some things..0

Hi

Replying to my own topic.
The file is : text/menu/logon.asc

The exact bit in the official twiki is here: wiki.synchro.net/config:text_files

Thanks

I finally decided to re-install as that was the quickest as I haven't officially opened yet.
Eventually I will look deeper into some parts of the software...

Hi

I was having a look at the status of Fidonet nowadays and apparently Europe (Zone 2) does not longer exist!! So there are not known nodes in Europe by the look of it.
I am in the UK, so unless I join CA/US not sure what can be done..
It's just sad to see how these things slowly go away being absorbed by the internet.

Thanks

Hi

I noticed the initial synchronet banner is using the following file: text/lbshell_bg.bin


I have tried to replace it, but strangely the OLD banner still displays.

has Anyone done this before? As I guess I am missing something I haven't figure out quite yet..

Many thnaks

Hmm, I think that it may require using mysql to force the password for the sysop account if you don't know it.

Hi,
I got installed synchronetbbs V3 and I realised the WIKI talks mostly about V2!!
vert.synchro.net/docs/sysop_commands.html

Probably I have made a number of things wrong which will force me to re-install the BBS as I am not sure about the Sysop anymore.
* is there anyway of re-creating the Sysop account?
* Apparently Sysop is a forbidden name, so I guess a different name rather than sysop would be good. Also the instructions (wiki) mention the Sysop would log locally? is that right?

Apologies as I am trying to figure out all this on the go.

Many thanks!

Those are in /sbbs/ctrl/sbbs.ini. Just search the the string "Ports=" and you will find them...

Hi,

I am looking into how can I customize the ports for the Webserver/FTP servers.

I Would like to have some different ports for both services as I already have them in use for some other purposes
So far I haven't found much documentation and before start hacking files all over the place I thought it would be better to ask all of you about it?

Many thanks!
