Hiya DM...

I know this sounds strange, but it's what I am used to so to speak. On a raspberry pi, I'm running SBBS just as a tosser. I haven't stated any
services (BBS, Telnet, RLogin, SSL, Mail, FTP) and only basically use it as
a null mail tosser, which it does perfectly well. I have roughly 65 subs
and all are passthru except one, which is a general area. Here I'm running
a bash file to create two sepatate txt files where I am using smbutil to
import them. I run a perl script that creates the txt file perfectly. Then
I use the following:

./smbutil -e1 i/home/pi/sbbs/exec/daygraph.txt /home/pi/sbbs/data/subs/1generals.shd < /home/pi/exec/stats1.hdr


The 1generals sub is not a passthru as in my areas.bbs I have the following:

1GENERALS General_Sportnet_Chat <nodes here>

Probem is it's not posting to the area to be tossed for distribution.

Being I have never logged into the system as I'm just using it as a tosser, does the option of adding the '1'in the CMD section go out the window and if so, can I log into the system locally on the Pi to set myself as the #1 user?

Thanks....

Hiya DM...

Do you mean SBBSecho? SBBS is not a "tosser".

I haven't stated any
services (BBS, Telnet, RLogin, SSL, Mail, FTP) and only basically use it as a null mail tosser, which it does perfectly well. I have roughly 65 subs and all are passthru except one, which is a general area. Here I'm running a bash file to create two sepatate txt files where I am using smbutil to import them.

Read the message base (/home/pi/sbbs/data/subs/1generals) and verify the message was actually successfully added. You can read it using smbutil if you really don't want to run the BBS.

Being I have never logged into the system as I'm just using it as a tosser, does the option of adding the '1'in the CMD section go out the window and if so, can I log into the system locally on the Pi to set myself as the #1 user?

The "-e" is used to set the "from" user name. So you're posting a message to a sub-board that is from "1". Kind of odd, but totally supported even if there is no user #1 in the BBS's userbase.
