Echicken,
I told Todd about the problem. It seems that anyone on my BBS before his change
that had already accessed door party with the password doorparty.js generated
is fine. After, they get an invalid password response and are sent back to my
BBS. The 8 character password generated by doorparty.js is being rejected now
after his change. No new user access apparently right now. Old schoolers are
ok. My password works and the few of us here as well before his change. After
the change....no connecting to it. IF I delete the [doorparty] section in the
user .ini file doorparty.js creates a new password upon launching the doorparty
access from my BBS menu. The new password is rejected each time. Thanks for
telling me where to find the user.ini files. I have used synchronet a LONG time
and never looked in that folder. I shall go exploring today. Synchronet is a
wonder of things to discover. Have a good day Mr. E-Chicken. Echicken
