==Overview==
This is a page for notes on the Mystic BBS instance located on a shop VM.  

= Synchronet BBS =
== Linux Administration of BBS ==
* Configuration:    /sbbs/exec/scfg
* Console Execution:   /sbbs/exec/sbbs
** Note, this should be deamonized

=== Installation Notes ===
* When following the instructions for running sbbs as a deamon use these commands on debian instead.  When running the suggested command, "update-rc.d sbbs enable 2 3 4 5" it responds with something about symlinks not being present.
** sudo update-rc.d sbbs defaults
** sudo update-rc.d sbbs enable

=== ToDo List ===
* Enable Doors \ External Programs
* Setup SSH connections
* Don't allow users to send external emails
* Forward the Ports

= Mystic BBS =

== Linux Administration of BBS ==
* cd into /mystic
* To start mystic BBS, sudo ./mis DAEMON
* To stop mystic BBS, sudo ./mis SHUTDOWN
* Currently the mystic directory is owned by the omegix user account.  Not sure what impact that will have on other accounts attempting to start/stop/condfigure
* To configure BBS, sudo ./mystic -CFG

=== Tutorials ===
==== Doors ====
* https://forum.lowendspirit.com/viewtopic.php?id=3311
** Couldn't get this to work, something about not finding the cdrom drive.

=== Troubleshooting ===
* "Connection Terminated" may be caused by the IP addresses being added to the IP blacklist.  Not sure what caused this to happen, but the solution was to run ./mystic -cfg and commenting out the IP addressed that were blacklisted.
* running mystic in SERVER mode (as opposed to DAEMON) allowed to show what was happening when we couldn't login

== Accessing BBS ==
* Download a client such as NetRunner:  http://mysticbbs.com/downloads.html
** Note that the top part of this page is the downloads for MysticBBS, you want the NetRunner app
** If downloading on linux, you may have to use wget rather than download via web browser.  I don't know why downloading via webbrowser is borked for their server, but it's been resulting in corrupted downloads.
