Security

Allow Quick Login

If this is enabled, the SysOp can login locally by pressing [Enter] at the login prompt without entering a password. If you don't like this, just turn it off.

Write Pwd-Failure Messages

If a user fails to log in because he/she exceeded the maximum number of password retries, ProBoard can write a security message to that person and to the SysOp, telling him/her what happened. This can be turned on or off with this option.

Allow Login With Alias

Determines if ProBoard will allow users to login with their alias (handle). Users can also select or change their alias using Menu Function 59. If this option is set to “No”, ProBoard will not ask new users to select an alias.

Log Local Calls

If this option is enabled, all local logins will be logged in the file PROBOARD.LOG (ProBoard's system log).

Hide SysOp Activity

If enabled, ProBoard will hide all SysOp activity from the Last Callers list (Function 51), Show Users Online (Function 50), and from the display of the User List (Function 13).

Max. Password Retries

Maximum number of incorrect password attempts ProBoard will allow, before logging the user off.

Min. Password Length

The minimum length of a password. Should you change this option at a later time to less than the length of any existing users passwords, ProBoard will not check for Minimum Password Length when an existing user logs on. ProBoard will however enforce this setting again when any existing users decide to change their password.

Use System Password

(Yes/No). If set to “Yes”, ProBoard will require all incoming callers to know and enter a 'System Password' before asking them for their user name and user password. Great for running a 'Private' BBS in a corporation, etc. If set to “No” users will not be prompted for a 'System Password'.

System Password

If the above option 'Use System Password' is set to 'Yes', this is the password users are required to enter to gain access to the BBS.
