    In the past I ran Synchronet as a game server... I had it on a VM, used it
    for some time and yes... it was not backed up. The VM became corrupted and I could not revive it.

    I have simce installed Windows 10/32Bit on a VM and I'm trying to get Synchronet to act like it use to.

    In the past when someone logged in, VIA rLogin, it took you directly to the doors menu and not walk you through any of the other processes that normal logins would have you do...

    Is there a document out there or ... what's the steps I need to do again...

    Thanx

    This may help as a start ... any questions after that feel free to ask

    modopt.ini [logon]
    ; Set rlogin_xtrn_menu to true if you want your RLogin server to act as a door game server only
    rlogin_xtrn_menu = false
    ; Set rlogin_auto_xtrn to true if you want your RLogin server to support direct-to-door request
    ; (e.g. Web Externals)
    rlogin_auto_xtrn = true
    email_passwords = true
    email_validation = true

    Check logon.js and see if you changed the rlogin options near the end of the file.

    Looked at the file, one other person responded and they said I'll have
    to look at the modopts.ini file.... I see that this file js file is
    looking at the file... so... I'll pay attention to that..

    Thanx

    modopt.ini [logon]
    ; Set rlogin_xtrn_menu to true if you want your RLogin server to act as
    a door game server only

    I found this and changed it... Wnen I try to login now it does take me to the doors menu, it shows me a few things along the way... The synch welcome screen... I can change thaat... avatar... If I delete that account, or
    someone new logs in... I get some new user stuff...
    Asks Question Like Extended ASCII... To Enter my name... ...This board id running Synchronet.... The screen that shows all the nice features of Synchronet... The scereen that shows you all the ^ commands... then the
    boards stats... it then says that my password is not ghood and wants me to change it... and then it wants me to write an email.

    Things have changed in the past while with Synchronet.


    rlogin_xtrn_menu = false
    ; Set rlogin_auto_xtrn to true if you want your RLogin server to support direct-to-door request
    This was already true...P

    ; (e.g. Web Externals)
    rlogin_auto_xtrn = true
    email_passwords = true
    email_validation = true


    I did not find these entries... was I just to add them in on my own...
