Hi

When I connect to my BBS with telnet it shows answer.msg, but when I connect with SSH it does not.

Is there a file that gets shown upon connection to both ssh and telnet? I was thinking before the login on telnet and before the "Hit a key" on SSH.

See here:

http://wiki.synchro.net/config:text_files

The Logon Message Flow Chart may be of particular interest. Users who are already registered and connect via SSH or RLogin bypass everything up to "Logon Module" IIRC.

The file you're probably looking for is 'text/menu/logon.*' (see "Menu Files" at the bottom of the page re: extensions).

i'm seeing something similar to what apam is seeing but i know the flow from login.js to logon.js... what i'm trying to figure out is where the pause is coming from that's shown right after the copyright notice... the pause isn't there when using telnet but it is there when using ssh...

Oh, I didn't notice that a pause was part of the problem. I have that same thing here. I described it to DM a while back but I think that discussion fizzled out. Only seems to affect SSH (and RLogin IIRC) connections.

I did ... something to work around it, but I think it was pretty hacky. If I can find it I'll let you know.

Yeah, my workaround is pretty bad. Let's just pretend it doesn't exist.

Hi

The answer.msg is shown (and the "login module" executed) via SSH if you attempt to login as an unknown user via SSH and then fail or abort the new user registration process.

I
was thinking before the login on telnet and before the "Hit a key" on SSH.

There isn't. The "Hit a key" on SSH isn't really intentional and something I probably will eliminate at some point, so you'd have the logon.* shown immediately upon successful SSH Login and after a successful Telnet login.

Showing a file both *before* login (via Telnet) and *after* login (via SSH) could potentially be very confusing. Is logon.* not appropriate for your needs?

It's an auto-pause because there's a screen-clear after displaying the Synchronet copyright banner.

Ah ok, I have answer.msg as a kind of welcome banner, I can see how it could be confusing. It doesn't really matter I guess, just I'm used to doing things a certain way, so looking to replicate that lol. Though in my experience it's mostly been just me that logs on via ssh to my BBS, so it doesn't really matter.

I think it's resolved in CVS now.

I didn't expect that, but really appreciate it :D

i wasn't saying that it was part of the original problem reported here... it did, however, provide me a chance to point it out instead of creting a new thread about it...

yep...

i saw your later post... yeah, i think DM has it sussed now... updated earlier yesterday and it is fixed now... i kinda like the "logging in as" line, too... i'm thinking of putting in a delay there followed by a clear screen possibly with a POFF as well... i haven't figured out the whole line counting and pause thing, yet... so i tend to use a lot of POFF and the code to reset the line count and then force my own pause prompts when desired...

aaahhhhooohhhh... i thought screen clearing reset the line counter that triggers auto-pauses? i can also understand that counter getting confused with the new unicode stuffs... especially if it is counting bytes rather than glyphs
since unicode has 1, 2, 3 and 4 byte glyphs/characters... i'm not sure how one would determine if a glyph/character is more than one byte, though...

It does, but if there are unread lines on the screen then an auto-pause may occur before the screen is actuallyi cleared.

i can also understand that counter getting confused
with the new unicode stuffs...

I don't think that's the problem.

I spoke a little to soon, it doesn't do quiet what I thought it did.

That's ok though, I've added a logon.asc as suggested which is different to the answer.msg, so it doesn't look like it's showing the same file twice on telnet login.
