• Rlogin password

    From HSM@VERT/FREESPEA to All on Saturday, June 27, 2020 12:36:00
    Is there a method to have outbound Rlogin.js sessions send the user password?

    Similar, but when receiving:
    On an inbound Rlogin, where synchronet is setup as a gameserver, if the
    inbound BBS software sends the username and password the transition is seamless. If no password is sent, Syncronet will create the random one and prompt them to re-enter it. What script should I be looking at to modify this behavior?

    Thanks!

    You could modify rlogin.js or create your own script. See bbs.rlogin_gate in the JS docs:

    https://nix.synchro.net/jsobjs.html#bbs

    You have the ability to send the "client username" and "server username". Some rlogin servers may treat one of these as the username and one as the password. You can also specify the terminal string, which is often used to pass extra parameters, like which door to run.

    On an inbound Rlogin, where synchronet is setup as a gameserver, if the inbound BBS software sends the username and password the transition is seamless. If no password is sent, Syncronet will create the random one and prompt them to re-enter it. What script should I be looking at to modify this behavior?

    The last time I looked, there was no script you could modify to alter this behavior; it's baked in. Making a seamless new-user-via-rlogin experience takes some extra hacking. Easiest ways to do this are to modify Synchronet itself, or create an intermediate service in JS that intercepts rlogin connections and verifies/creates accounts prior to handing the client off to the BBS.
