I have a Waffle BBS running on a LAN Manager-networked PC, and I'm hoping to set up another machine on the network that will act as a second node. I've moved the USER, SPOOL, TEMP, and FILES directories on a server with the appropriate permissions, without too many problems, so that Waffle running on the second machine can share information with the first. My application requires having a different user interface on the second machine, which I can do by having unique ADMIN, INFO, LOCAL, SYSTEM, TEXT, etc. directories on each machine. The WAFFLE=c:\waffle (something like that) line in the STATIC file tells Waffle to look for most of the important directories under \waffle, and the one that creates the problem is the PASSWORD file. I want to be able to keep the password file common between the two nodes. Is there a better way to do all of this? Will I run in to other problems?
