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.
