    From DesotoFireflite@VERT to All on Fri Jun 17 12:15:40 2016
    We have been off line for over 12 hours due to a power outage, and when we came back up, I can't connect to the bbs anymore. I've run and rerun the dyndns event about 15 times, and no go. I'm assuming ti IP address has change, and when I put the new ip address of comcast on the command line I can log in fine. I'm usings verts dndns service. How long does it take for the new ip address to set. It's been 1/2 hour so far. Any ideas. Thanks In Advance.

    you should have this in your \sbbs\exec dir. dyndns.js (it will hit all the vert. with all the address it has) with a build date of Sunday, ‎August ‎23,

    I know, I have dyndns.js version 1.10 in there now, and have been running it every half hour, and so far, it hasn't taken yet. I went to cvs to see if there was a newer version, but it's down, so I can't get a newer version if it exist to see if that will help. So right now, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place till cvs comes back online. Like I said in the orig post, it connects fine if I type in the new ip address in syncterm, but everyone trying to reach me by valhalla.synchro.net can't reach me till the new ip address take hold in dyndns. Hopefully we can get this solved soon. Thanks for the reply

    I understand what you are saying, but if the man is on vacation, let him relax and enjoy. It's not that critical that it can't wait a few days. I'm sure all will be settled soon enough when he gets home.

    That's another unwritten rule of Sysoping. :P I guess the BBS gets
    lonely when one isn't there. <G>

    On another note, I saw where the "temporary or permanent banning of an
    IP" will be implemented with SBBS 3.17 -- is there a way to get it into
    3.16, or is that just for those beta testing 3.17 now??

    Also, normally, the "unknown user", "failed logon" and "javascript
    warnings" usually appear as different colors in the terminal server window...but after awhile, while they still appear (from logon attempts
    such as "root", "admin", "system", "support", "supervisor", etc.), they
    appear just as the rest of the text...and I end up exiting and reloading
    the SBBS Control Panel. However, does it matter if those "different
    colors" show up or not??

    No, you'd need to upgrade to a current development build of v3.17.

    Doesn't matter. The coloring of log entries is just a convenience for the sysop.

    From the SBBS Announce :

    So you want to play with the latest and greatest Synchronet code from CVS, but you're running Windows and have no idea how to compile and link the C/C++ source code?

    Now if you want the sbbs 3.17 (very beta) (windows version) one :
    Well, if you're a risk-taker, you can try the daily snapshot now available at ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_dev.zip

    This is the lastest Linux version ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_src.tgz

    There's no guarantee the executables in this archive will work, so be sure to backup your current working exectuables (*.exe and *.dll) first!
