If you're using the current development ãbuild (v3.16), then you can pass the username and password to the JavaScript ãbbs.rlogin_gate method (as the 2nd and 3rd arguments). Like this:ããbbs.rlogin_gate(host, name, pass);ããIf you use that instead of bbs.telnet_gate() in the remote systems's rlogin.js, ãthat'll allow you to pass whatever name/pass combination you wish via RLogin.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #72:ãSyncTERM (created by Deuce) contains portions of Synchronet and SEXYZ code.ãNorco, CA WX: 65.2øF, 57.0% humidity, 13 mph ESE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

Of course, you could modify login.js to *not* call bbs.newuser() for ãnew user signups, but then you'd have to reproduce everything that the internal ã(newuser.cpp) code does in JavaScript.
