Gee Heiji, after reading such a strong argument against moderating
.programmer, what with all those great big capital letters and triple
punctuation marks, I'm begining to wonder why have anything moderated?
Goodie, I finally have an excuse to post hundreds of RFDs with
proposals to unmoderate groups.

I listed myself as one of the moderators, asking for others.  If I
wasn't allowed to talk about it on r.g.n, how was I supposed to solicit
moderators?

You've obviously neglected to read my previous posts or chose not to
reference them to your advantage.  I was told to post an RFD and no one
objected until I actually posted the damn thing.  With that in mind,
how does the above response relate to the tone of my RFD?

Seperating the wheat from the chaff, it's a good argument against a
split.

I just wonder is there any smart guys/girls in your BBS have the experience
on
setting up UNIX-workstation network ? If yes, can he/she answer the
following question:

Q1. How can I set up my local workstations so that they can connect to other
machine in the world through INTERNET ? What is the minimal hardware or
software to do that ? Would anyone tell me how to do it briefly ?

Q2. How can I set up UUCP in my local workstations ?

Q3. How can I set up the NIS/Yellow Page in my local workstations ?

Currently, I work for a telephone company in which I got the above question.
The configuration of the UNIX machine is listed as following:

     3 * SUN's IPX workstation (16 RAM + 207 MB & 1.3 GB HD )
         running on SUN OS 4.1.2 with Open Look Windows 3.0
     1 * SUN's 630MP Server (64 RAM + 6*1.3 GB HD) software platform same
         as above

     2 * SGI's 4D/35 workstation (16 RAM + 200 MB & 1.3 GB HD)
         running on SGI IRIX 4.1 with Motif Windows

     1 * DEC's 5000 workstation (16 RAM + 200 MB & 1.3 GB HD)
         running on DEC ULTRIX 4.2 with DEC Windows

If anybody can answer the above questions, please e-mail to me. I really

There are a couple of them. There is Portal which I am on. Mail cs@portal.com for info on Portal. Then there is Netcom and A2i. The address for those are @Netcom.com and @Rahul.net. I dont know who you would mail on there for info. My guess would be system or cs. There are a couple more but I dont know the names or addresses of those.

If I understand you, you want to use someone's system to run BBS
on it?  Well, quite a _good_ idea.  You will have to get
owner/sysadm of the other machine to agree to it, cause usually it
takes some resources to run a BBS.  

Now, what do you mean by: 

"I know this can be done" - are you saying that there are folks
running BBS on somebody's else machine ? Possible...

The best files area manager for Max that i have come acroos is MFM. The 
current version is MFM_111b.arj.

As yet I'm not familiar with FTP sites so I cannot help there. It is file
requestable from my fidonet node 1:243/20 but I am sure there is a sight 
more local to you in TO.

Why not just set up regular UNIX accounts for your users and chroot them into
a confined area.  You can set up all the files they need in their own chrooted
/bin.  You can give them a talk-like command so they can chat to one another
(and you).

If you allocate a whole machine to the project and make sure that there isn't
anything you don't want your users to see on it, then you don't even need to
bother with chroot.  Just keep it backed up and let the users do whatever they
like.

Seems far simpler to me.  I don't know of any BBS packages with a CLI.

Assuming that one would get to the bbs by entering "bbs" at the login prompt,
you could have all of them available (though perhaps not "at a time")... using
"magpie",  "piratebbs", etc. as a UNIX login, and the bbs would likely prompt
for a bbs-login, no doubt.  That'd certainly give your BBS users a fair chance
to let you know which one they preferred.

It's a start!  This is something that could be built into a FAQ sheet..
it may already be in one.. but since I (bad boy!) didn't look for it,
I don't know about it.

Thanks for your input.
