Overview

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

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

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.
  • Connect to 10.56.0.31
