  • Not In Error Log

    Rob,

    I looked in ERROR.LOG, and it had no indication of a user account
    being deleted by the system. Besides, I would've known if I had
    zapped this user, but he's done quite a bit to benefit the BBS in
    recent days. His name isn't in the twit file, and I've put his IP
    in the file to allow logons. I even checked the "expiration data",
    and that's at "0"...so it shouldn't be deleting it for that.

    Daryl

    why do you think it would be in the error.log? that's for errors... look in the main log where all the real meat of the system's activities are logged...

    Rob,

    being deleted by the system.

    It wouldn't be in the error.log.

    Besides, I would've known if I had
    zapped this user, but he's done quite a bit to benefit the BBS in
    recent days.

    When was his last logon? What do you have your system's "Max inactivity" configured for?

    His name isn't in the twit file, and I've put his IP
    in the file to allow logons.

    What file is that?

    I even checked the "expiration data",
    and that's at "0"...so it shouldn't be deleting it for that.

    What is expiration data? Where exactly do you find that?

    all we have is your assurance that you set up everything correctly.
    people screw up and miss things. you still arent posting any screenshots of scfg. you arent saying how frequently he is deleted.

    Dumb question, but are you sure they are using the same user name each time they try to log on? I ask because I had someone who was changing theirs
    each time and then asking why their account got deleted. In my case, they
    were confused because I run more than one BBS, but I thought it would not
    hurt to ask. :)
