Greetings,
I've been lurking for a bit here, but now I have a question. :)
I'm running 3.17a (upgraded about 30 days ago) and I decided to create a badip.msg file and test it using my own IP address added to the ip.can file.
When I connect via telnet, it disconnects me without displaying anything.
Does anyone know if this feature is disabled or maybe I'm doing something wrong or a possbile bug?

It was a bug (introduced in May of last year apparently) - anyway, I just committed a fix to CVS so it'll be in the next daily dev builds if you want it.

we've just built the latest sbbs from the repo... wanted to see if a modification to badip.msg would work like we wanted so tried the ;LIST sysop command... no matter what file we try, with or without a path, sbbs always says
the file cannot be found...
;LIST ../TEXT/BADIP.MSG
;LIST /SBBS/TEXT/BADIP.MSG
;LIST ../TEXT/MENU/LOGON.ASC
;LIST /SBBS/TEXT/MENU/LOGON.ASC
logon.asc definitely is shown during the logon... it is also lowercase but the sysop menu stuff seems to force everything to uppercase...

Whats the content of the file? If it is one sentence and you are connecting locally, the connection maybe so quick that it is displaying the message then disconnecting and clearscrn (just a guess).
Put a big ANSIBOMB there along with a hand shooting a bird, you would'nt miss that. also add some ansi music to the tune of the imperial death march.

could it be being sent and the connection is cut so fast that you don't get a chance to receive it?
[edit] NVM, i see that DM has looked, found it was a bug and fixed it already... [/EDIT]
Oh, I noticed that my QWK tagline isn't showing and it seems to be setup correctly in SCFG. Any thoughts on where else I might look to troubleshoot?

So your tagline appeared here on Vertrauen just fine:

* Synchronet * The DarkSide of the Moon - telnet://darkside.synchro.net
digital man
;LIST ../TEXT/MENU/LOGON.ASC
;LIST /SBBS/TEXT/MENU/LOGON.ASC
logon.asc definitely is shown during the logon... it is also
lowercase but the sysop menu stuff seems to force everything to
uppercase...
Well it's the command shell that's doing the uppercase conversion.
Anyway, that's the problem.
Just type ;LIST and it'll prompt for the path. Then you can type it
with lowercase letters.

do you mean this QWK tag line? you're probably not seeing it in your local message base because it is written to the messages on export but the copy in your local base is not rewritten with it in place... i remember on

It's there... it is'nt added until you mail goes to the hub.

So when the tagline is written during export, maybe it should also be written to the message locally...lol

Yep, that was it. I've been away for a long time so the little ins and outs have faded from memory.. But I'm re-learning!

It's good to know it's there and i'm a little embarrassed to say that my memory of how those things work has faded... But as I recently said in a msg to Mark, I'm re-learning! :D
Thanks for the reply!
