SYSOP.DOC (Citadel-86 version)
|
||
|
||
Citadel can be thought of as having 3 levels to it: the Peon level (normal
|
||
users), the Aide level (people with special privileges), and the SysOp level.
|
||
They are differentiated, of course, by what they can do to a Citadel system.
|
||
|
||
What normal users can do is decided by the SysOp's policy decisions in
|
||
CTDLCNFG.SYS.
|
||
|
||
Aides have 4 commands available to them that is not available to the normal
|
||
users. These are accessed thru the command ".Aide <cmd>", and they are:
|
||
|
||
<D>elete empty rooms
|
||
<E>dit current room
|
||
<I>nsert pulled message
|
||
<K>ill current room
|
||
|
||
These are detailed in AIDE.HLP. Details on how to make a normal user into an
|
||
aide and vice versa are below. Aide functions may be used from either a remote
|
||
location or from the system console.
|
||
|
||
The SysOp(s)' functions differ from the Aide functions in that they may be usedONLY from the System Console, and in that the SysOp does NOT have to be logged
|
||
in if s/he does not wish to be to perform these special functions. In fact,
|
||
somebody else can be logged in.
|
||
|
||
To perform SysOp functions, first ensure that Citadel is in CONSOLE mode. If
|
||
you are in MODEM mode, hit the ESC. If somebody is on from remote,
|
||
interrupt him/her only at the room prompts. Once in CONSOLE mode, push a
|
||
CTRL L (control key and L key simultaneously); Citadel should then print
|
||
'privileged cmd: ' or somesuch. You now have access to SysOp special functions.
|
||
With the exception of <S>et date below, none of these are accessible to the
|
||
Aides or anyone else.
|
||
|
||
Privileged sysop functions:
|
||
|
||
<A>bort to main menu
|
||
<C>hat enable/suppress switch
|
||
<D>ebug switch
|
||
<K>ill account
|
||
<M>ODEM mode
|
||
<N>etwork stuff
|
||
<P>rivilege switch (aide)
|
||
<S>et date
|
||
<V>isible mode switch
|
||
e<X>it to MS-DOS
|
||
Privileged Aide functions:
|
||
|
||
Pushing <A>bort is one of 3 ways out of the SysOp command menu. Abort
|
||
puts you back into -CONSOLE- mode.
|
||
|
||
The <C>hat switch is a toggle switch that will either tell users that you
|
||
are not around, or will ring the Console's bell to call you.
|
||
|
||
The <D>ebug switch is for use when debugging Citadel. It's of no use for
|
||
normal Citadel installations.
|
||
|
||
To destroy a person's account on a Citadel system, use the <K>ill Account
|
||
switch. You will be asked to specify a name; if Citadel finds a user by that
|
||
name, then it'll ask for confirmation.
|
||
|
||
<M>odem mode is the second way to exit the SysOp command menu. It leaves
|
||
Citadel in -MODEM- mode.
|
||
|
||
<N>etwork stuff pertains to the network. See NETWORK.DOC for details on
|
||
usage of commands, NETHACK.DOC for technical details.
|
||
|
||
The <P>rivilege switch is how you assign and take away Aide privileges from
|
||
people. Citadel, when this option is selected, will ask for a name. If it
|
||
finds who you specify, it will print out what toggling this person's aide
|
||
switch will do, and then ask you to confirm if that's what you want to do
|
||
with that person.
|
||
|
||
<S>et date allows you to set the date and time. This data will be used to
|
||
set the MS-DOS clock.
|
||
|
||
The <V>isible is another debug switch, not used by normal Citadel
|
||
installations.
|
||
|
||
e<X>it is the 3rd and last way to exit the SysOp cmd menu. This folds Citadel
|
||
up and returns you to MS-DOS.
