Hi All,ããI was just wondering if it was possible to use Telgate to connect to anotherãBBS and also log in using a predefined user name and password before allowingãaccess to the user?ããAny code snippets welcome, project is to be given away and has potential to beãenjoyed by a lot of users. Unfortunately, Javascript is not my strong point (Iãfind Baja easier, but I know it's going out of fashion so I was hoping for a JSãalternative).ããMark.ããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Toxic Laboratory BBS - Birmingham, UK - toxicbbs.comã

Usage is:ããbbs.telnet_gate(hostname, TG_RLOGIN|TG_SENDPASS);ããThis opens an rlogin session with 'hostname', sending the username and passwordãof the currently logged-in user. For this to work, the remote system needs toãbe ready to accept that username & password combo.ããI do see a bbs.change_user method in the docs, which I've never used. Youãmight be able to call it prior to calling bbs.telnet_gate, switching to a userãwhose credentials are known to be valid on the remote system (then againãafterward to switch back.) Of course, I might be misinterpreting what thisãmethod does, or the extent to which it does it.ããechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.com - 416-273-7230ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

I know telgating is possible, but I want toãconnect to another system by telnet (or RLogin, or any way possible) and log inãas a specific user, no matter who is connecting. I am looking for a way to passãthe user name and password to the remote system without the user who isãconnecting to intercept the details or be able to log in as anything elseãthemselves.ããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Toxic Laboratory BBS - Birmingham, UK - toxicbbs.comã

I've had a play around with this for hours now andãam still failing to find a way to do it. The remote system is going to be aãSynchronet system that I am running myself, so any necessary changes can beãmade to the log in process on there too.ããbbs.change_user might be a little tricky because I do actually want to passãthe current logged in user to the remote system. Basically, I want the systemãitself to have a user account on the remote system, and every system whichãconnects has a 8 character username. When connecting, the current logged inãuser's account number is appended to the end of the 8 character user name. Iãhave already set up the remote system to only read the first eight charactersãof the user name so that the initial system can connect, but the remote systemãis aware of both which system is calling AND who is calling on it (by takingãeverything after the eighth character as the user on the system calling). Youãcan then essentially have a unique user on the remote system without themãhaving to create an account of their own. Then, the log in can be automated andãthey can access, say, a door from the initial system without any log in.ããThe ultimate aim is some sort of inter-BBS door game which works irrespectiveãof the BBS software type of the initial connecting BBS. I know it's been doneãbefore, and there are other ways of doing it, but this is the way I am tryingãto approach it because, well, I want to I suppose!ããã---ã þ Synchronet þ Toxic Laboratory BBS - Birmingham, UK - toxicbbs.comã
