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?

Thanks,

Eric
