Picked up Mystic again... adding message areas in and I want them to display
in groups, fidonet in the fidonet group ... and so one...

Where do I add the argument to make that happen??

Thanx

You would set the security level for the message base to something like s20g1.

Or whatever you want the access level and ground number to be. If your
Fidonet group is 2 and you want un-validated users to be able to see Fidonet set the list and read access to s10g2 and the post access to s20g2 so only validated users can post.

You can do the same thing with file bases, but the group code for file groups is z. e.g. s10z2 for file group 2.

Hi, Joe.

When adding a message group, an ID will be automatically assigned to the
group. Let's say you add a fidonet group and it's assigned an ID of 5.

When you go into the message base editor and pull up settings for a
particular message base, there will be a few settings concerning ACS. Generally, you'll want to control access to these groups by security level,
so you might assign a Post ACS of "s20" so that only Regular Users can post
to this message base. But you can also add a "g" parameter to specify which message group this message base belongs to. So, to allow all users to see
this message base in the previously-defined fidonet message group, you'd
assign the message base a List ACS of "s10g5" (5 being the ID assigned per
the previous paragraph). To allow all regular users to read the posts in this message base, but only if they're current message group is fidonet, assign a Read ACS of "s20g5". And so forth.

File bases and groups work the same way, but the letter used to denote membership in a file group is "z".

Jeff.

Got it, took me a little to remember how to do it... Thanx though, I'm going
to add DoveNET in and I have to look into why the BBS is not scanning or tossing the mail correctly. I do it by hand right now...

I'm not sure what OS you're using, but I'm running Mystic on a Raspberry Pi
and getting it to run any events at all required one of two things:
1) adding the full executable path to all command lines (Shell parameters) in the events, or
2) adding the Mystic install directory (where fidopoll, mutil, etc., are located) to the PATH of the user running the BBS.

i don't think he's talking about security access... i think he's talking about keeping the areas from other networks segregated into their own groups... T and i did it in our old mystic v1.11 setups but i don't recall how... it has been too long and those systems are now shutdown for various reasons...

Joe will look into that... I'm running the Windows 64Bit version right now, thinking of going back to the pi version...
