• Synchronet v3.13a-Win32 bug effects some doors

    From Digital Man@VERT to All on Sun Sep 25 13:33:48 2005
    Doors that rely on the accuracy of the "SBBSNODE" environment variable willăhave a problem running on one or all Synchronet v3.13a-Win32 nodes *if* you setăthe SBBSNODE environment variable in your system.ăăExamples of a door that could have problems include all XSDK doors (SynchronetăBBS List, Blackjack, and Match Maker), Domain Entertainment doors (Beast'săDomain, Poker, Dicewar, etc.), and Evan Elias' doors (DoorMUD and TournamentăTrivia).ăăThe fix is to simply *remove* the SBBSNODE environment variable from yourăsystem's environment variable list.ăăSynchronet sets this environment variable for you (to the correct value) whenărunning external programs, but v3.13a-Win32 will not over-ride existing values,ăif the variable is already defined. If you have any external utilities thatărequire this environment variable (all the utilities that have been updated forăSyncrhonet v3 use the "SBBSCTRL" environment variable) - just set the variableăas needed or in a batch file when its needed.ăăSynchronet v3.13b-Win32 (no release date) will have this problem fixed, ofăcourse. :-)ăă digital manăăSnapple "Real Fact" #55:ăA human brain weighs about 3lbs.ă---ă ț Synchronet ț Vertrauen ț Home of Synchronet ț [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netă
