<H3>Description.</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<strong>mblogin</strong> replaces the standard Unix login program for MBSE BBS.
|
|
You can use this program from <strong>mgetty</strong> for modem/ISDN access,
|
|
or from <strong>inetd</strong> to allow telnet access.
|
|
This program logs in the systems syslog facility because the normal login
|
|
program does this too. It uses the file <code>/opt/mbse/etc/login.defs</code>
|
|
for the behaviour you prefere. All options in this file are well commented. It uses
|
|
the bbs user database to see who are allowed to login. Users can use their
|
|
Fidonet name, Unix name or Handle. If the name is found in the userbase, the
|
|
name is replaced with the real Unix name to do the password check and to start
|
|
the <strong>mbsebbs</strong> program. If the user is not found in the user base,
|
|
the user is asked if he wants to register as a new user. This behaviour can be
|
|
turned off. If the user uses the name <strong>bbs</strong> he will start the
|
|
<strong>mbnewusr</strong> program directly. All other users are not allowed to
|
|
login, not even root. If you change it in the file
|
|
<code>/opt/mbse/etc/login.defs</code> you may allow user <strong>mbse</strong>
|
|
to login. I advice against it, you should use <strong>ssh</strong> if you want
|
|
remote access to do maintenance.
|
|
