In using rlogin to pass info to a external server, is there a way to pass the handle or allias in place of the real name. I have it set up now as
*rlogin <yourbbsname.synchro.net>:5513
and it's passing my real name instead of my alais, and I sign on using my alais. I want it to pass my alais name and my password to the external server I'm logging into. Thanks in advance.

Actually, the way the rlogin gateway works, it sends both your alias and your real name to the server (in that order).
rlogin.js calls bbs.rlogin_gate() which accepts optional arguments to over-ride the name/alias fields. You could do that with a custom script or wait for an update to the 3.17 (dev) binaries and scripts and you could just pass TG_RLOGINSWAP on the command-line (a new flag I'm introducing to make this easier).

I'll wait for the update, Thanks Rob

With today's build of v3.17 and the latest rlogin.js, you should be able to add TG_RLOGINSWAP to the end of your *rlogin command-line and have the user alias/name fields swapped during the Rlogin negotiation.

It's not working. I did the update today. My command line is as follows:
*rlogin bbs.name.com:xxxx TG_RLOGINSWAP
It won't even execute, just goes back to the prompt. If I take the TG_RLOGINSWAP, it goes back to working, but with my real name.
Have I missed something? Thanks In Advance

What revision of exec/rlogin.js do you have? You may have forgotten to update that file?

rlogin.js,v 1.3 2017/09/27 00:59:59.
I downloaded yesterdays 10/22 dev and
run builds, like I always do. what other files are dependant on this, so I can make sure I didn't miss any. I only update the files that changes since the last update I installed. As always, thanks Rob.

Still Not Working. I have done another update with todays build of 10/24/17 to make sure I didn't miss anything, and I've updated everything from 1/16/16, both development and run builds.
sbbsdefs.js,v 1.69 2017/09/27 00:57:17 rswindell Exp
rlogin.js,v 1.3 2017/09/27 00:59:59 rswindell
my command line is: ?rlogin bbs.valhallabbs.com:5513 TG_RLOGINSWAP
If I take the TG_RLOGINSWAP off, it works like it always did, but with the TG_RLOGINSWAP, it sits there a few seconds, then goes back to the menu command prompt.
What am I missing? As always, thanks in advance.

You can do one of 2 things:
Add TG_RLOGIN to the mode flags you're passing,
e.g. "?rlogin <addr> TG_RLOGIN|TG_RLOGINSWAP"
or get the latest rlogin.js I just committed which calls bbs.rlogin_gate() instead of bbs.telnet_gate().

I got the latest rlogin.js you just committed and it works like a charm. Thank you so much. You do man :)
