SYSOP.DOC (Citadel-86 version)<\/p>\n
Citadel can be thought of as having 3 levels to it: the Peon level (normal
\nusers), the Aide level (people with special privileges), and the SysOp level.
\nThey are differentiated, of course, by what they can do to a Citadel system.<\/p>\n
What normal users can do is decided by the SysOp’s policy decisions in
\nCTDLCNFG.SYS.<\/p>\n
Aides have 4 commands available to them that is not available to the normal
\nusers. These are accessed thru the command “.Aide “, and they are:<\/p>\n
elete empty rooms
\ndit current room
\nnsert pulled message
\nill current room<\/p>\n
These are detailed in AIDE.HLP. Details on how to make a normal user into an
\naide and vice versa are below. Aide functions may be used from either a remote
\nlocation or from the system console.<\/p>\n
The SysOp(s)’ functions differ from the Aide functions in that they may be usedONLY from the System Console, and in that the SysOp does NOT have to be logged
\nin if s\/he does not wish to be to perform these special functions. In fact,
\nsomebody else can be logged in.<\/p>\n
To perform SysOp functions, first ensure that Citadel is in CONSOLE mode. If
\nyou are in MODEM mode, hit the ESC. If somebody is on from remote,
\ninterrupt him\/her only at the room prompts. Once in CONSOLE mode, push a
\nCTRL L (control key and L key simultaneously); Citadel should then print
\n‘privileged cmd: ‘ or somesuch. You now have access to SysOp special functions.
\nWith the exception of et date below, none of these are accessible to the
\nAides or anyone else.<\/p>\n
Privileged sysop functions:<\/p>\n
bort to main menu
\nhat enable\/suppress switch
\nebug switch
\nill account
\nODEM mode
\network stuff<\/p>\n
rivilege switch (aide)
\net date
\nisible mode switch
\neit to MS-DOS
\nPrivileged Aide functions:<\/p>\n
Pushing bort is one of 3 ways out of the SysOp command menu. Abort
\nputs you back into -CONSOLE- mode.<\/p>\n
The hat switch is a toggle switch that will either tell users that you
\nare not around, or will ring the Console’s bell to call you.<\/p>\n
The ebug switch is for use when debugging Citadel. It’s of no use for
\nnormal Citadel installations.<\/p>\n
To destroy a person’s account on a Citadel system, use the ill Account
\nswitch. You will be asked to specify a name; if Citadel finds a user by that
\nname, then it’ll ask for confirmation.<\/p>\n
odem mode is the second way to exit the SysOp command menu. It leaves
\nCitadel in -MODEM- mode.<\/p>\n
etwork stuff pertains to the network. See NETWORK.DOC for details on
\nusage of commands, NETHACK.DOC for technical details.<\/p>\n
The<\/p>\n
rivilege switch is how you assign and take away Aide privileges from
\npeople. Citadel, when this option is selected, will ask for a name. If it
\nfinds who you specify, it will print out what toggling this person’s aide
\nswitch will do, and then ask you to confirm if that’s what you want to do
\nwith that person.<\/p>\n
et date allows you to set the date and time. This data will be used to
\nset the MS-DOS clock.<\/p>\n
The isible is another debug switch, not used by normal Citadel
\ninstallations.<\/p>\n
eit is the 3rd and last way to exit the SysOp cmd menu. This folds Citadel
\nup and returns you to MS-DOS.<\/p>\n
