Hi everyone. I've got a question...I've set up a guest account (under DOS Waffle 1.64) with a privilege, level, and rank of '-1'. Everything works fine, this account is pretty limited and is useful only for anonymous downloads. Great. However I'm having a problem with time-limits. In my 'static' file there is a list of privileges and time limits. I added '-1' at the beginning of this list, with a time-limit of 999. I did this because I want 'guest' to be available for use at any time of the day (I would prefer 15-minute time limits with unlimited # of calls, but 1.64 doesn't support this (yet?)). Trouble is, my 'guest' account gets 15 minutes per day. Period. Waffle is ignoring my '-1' entry and using the '0' entry...for unvalidated users! Does anyone know how to get Waffle to understand that '-1' privilege levels get the specified time-limit? --A great solution would be to use a 15-minute time limit, and then every 1/2 hour in the schedule file to run a .BAT file to modify the password file to set the time back to 0. This would allow 15-minute time limits while keeping 'guest' available all day long. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steve Frampton (frampton@vicuna.ocunix.on.ca), Kingston, Ontario, CANADA "Sometimes I tune my car radio to static and pretend I'm flying an F-16"
