Re: Adding Users to BBS

How are you adding a user? Is it via the Web interface?

Login to the BBS Management Web pages uses the user/password in the Telnet Config. (SYSOP status is needed). If you access from a browser on the same machine (using 127.0.0.1 address) you shouldn't get a login page. A useful feature if you are accessing from another machine on the same LAN is the Telnet config LOCALNET statement. I have? LOCALNET=192.168.1.0 which means that any host with a 192.168.1.x address is treated the same as 127.0.0.1 so I can use the management pages without logging in.

Login to Webmail uses the password from the BBS User record.

When I go into add a user to the BBS, it simply throws me out to a login and does not accept any login info I enter. I also cannot login to Webmail. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to add a user to eith of these manually and then have valid login details.
