To handle incoming calls you can use <strong>mgetty</strong> written by
|
||||
Gert Doering, (gert@greenie.muc.de). Others may work. You have to compile
|
||||
<strong>mgetty</strong> with the -DFIDO flag to accept Fidonet mailer calls.
|
||||
If you want incoming PPP calls as well, add the -DAUTO_PPP as well. Below
|
||||
you can see the mgetty.config and login.config for mgetty that I use. I
|
||||
have also included a part of my /etc/inittab to show how <strong>mgetty
|
||||
</strong> will spawn from <strong>init</strong>.

If you use /bin/login the users can get confused by the Unix login prompt.
|
||||
Most of them are used to DOS based bbs systems and will try to login with
|
||||
two names which won't work of course. For this reason I have added the
|
||||
<strong>-i /opt/mbse/etc/issue</strong> options to the <strong>mgetty</strong>
|
||||
line in /etc/inittab. The file /opt/mbse/etc/issue is a plain textfile
|
||||
explaining users how to login to start the bbs. It could look like this:<br>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
|
||||
.--. Welcome at MBSE BBS Development.

To start the bbs login with "bbs" without quotes.

Voor het bbs login met "bbs" zonder aanhalingstekens.
|

</pre>
|
||||
There is a default /opt/mbse/etc/issue installed by the installation script.
|
||||
You need to edit this to insert your bbs name in it or even completely replace
|
||||
this file for a nicer one. Don't make it too big, don't put control characters
|
||||
in it as this may prevent some mailers to connect to your system.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I discovered that some systems don't have the right permissions on the serial
|
||||
port for MBSE BBS. To fix this type the following commands:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
su
|
||||
password: <em>enter root password here</em>
|
||||
chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0
|
||||
chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyS0
|
||||
exit
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
Note that /dev/ttyS0 is for COM1, /dev/ttyS1 for COM2 etc.
