  • default bulletin #3...

    From mark lewis@1:3634/12.73 to all on Wed Oct 10 16:51:06 2018

    in the default bulletins, #3 says it is "About this version of Synchronet BBS Software"... it does properly show that we're running "3.17a Debug" but a couple of lines down, it says "32-bit Multi-threaded Bulletin Board System Software for the Internet Age"... ummm, AFAIK, all the binaries we're building on this 64bit system are 64bit...

    $ file sbbs
    sbbs: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=4d3b29d0d016274d304eac3e885705f966776e51, with debug_info, not stripped

    yes, it isn't a big deal but since we can build and run a 64bit sbbs with all its binaries, i thought that maybe that might want to be changed a little bit ;)
    yes, i understand that this is also an example bulletin and that we can change it how we like if we even keep it at all... i was just looking at what others see in a default installation :)

    The file in question is text/sbbs.msg which should display @PLATFORM@ - Version @FULL_VER@ ... a static text line added in that file ... you could change it to anything that suits yer fancy... perhaps
