  • RLogin new user prompts

    From HSM@VERT/FREESPEA to All on Tue Apr 7 20:10:00 2020
    Hello,

    Using Synchronet as a door server, I want to pass the user off seamlessly as possible. There are 3 prompts I can't find to remove

    Does your terminal support IBM extended ASCII?
    Enter your full name or alias:
    Is the above information correct?

    Since this information is already sent in the Rlogin script it's just
    redundant and not needed. I know I can change the text but I'd rather it just not be there.

    Thanks!

    i think those are also in text.dat as well.

    Maybe, you can create a custom shell to skip the questions

    Since this information is already sent in the Rlogin script it's just redundant and not needed. I know I can change the text but I'd rather it just not be there.

    So those strings are in the ctrl/text.dat and with many of those strings (not all), if you just set them to a blank string (""), then there will be no associated prompt for user-input. Unfortunately, that was *not* the case with the User name/alias prompt (EnterYourAlias in the text.dat), until a committed-change I just made (to newuser.cpp).

    If update to the latest *and* set that string to a blank string, there will be no prompt. However... this also means that users using protocols that do not supply a username during negotiation (i.e. Telnet) will not be able to create new user accounts. Is that what you desire?

    Also, since there would be no prompt, there could be no opportunity for the user to change their user name should it match one of the disallowed user names in your text/name.can file. Is that also what you desire?

    it isn't the shell... the above takes place long before the shell is loaded... the login sequence is what has to be modified and that's done in login.js or logon.js... but that may not be enough in this instance...

    Thank you! That worked for me. The Alias is still displayed but I can work with that.

    If you update to the latest dev code (now versioned v3.18a), it won't prompt. But will have no side-effects I mentioned.

    I meant to say ... but will have *the* side-effects I mentioned.
