RLogin problem, sends user NO*ALIAS

[Raybdbomb]

I setup rlogin to the synchronet server, and I simply put the IP of the synchronet server as the syntax, or whatever the option is at the bottom of the module page of wgsrunmt.exe



I'm pretty sure the problem lies in WG though, because on the audit trail, when someone selects rlogin, it displays



RLOGIN CLIENT CONNECT

to 192.168.1.102 with NO*ALIAS



so this means that only one person could go because everyone is sent with NO*ALIAS



anybody know what's happening?

[War Hawk]

if I remember there was something that had to be added to the ip address line for rlogin... its like %username% or something like that... but I don't quite remember

[Raybdbomb]

that's what Evan said too, but i didn't see anything about that in the rlogin help files for WG

[Raybdbomb]

maybe i'll try later to put in, instead of just the IP, what evan said:



l xx.xx.xx.xx %U %U ansi

[EvanElias]

nono, that's what I said is used for Vircom TCP/IP for WG 2... the rlogin in WG 3 is completely different, as far as i know :(



From the docs you posted on the doormud mb, combined w/ WarHawk's post, looks like you should add options "-a -l %username%" or something like that, or maybe "-a -l %U".



From your posted docs, -a will enable ANSI and -l will let you specify a user name... after -l put whatever control variable WG uses to substitute in a user name.

[Raybdbomb]

and then the IP after %username% ?

[Raybdbomb]

well, it was neither %username% nor %U, because both were sent as literal to the rlogin server



giving it usernames %username% and %U respectively



so all i need is to find the name of that variable

[EvanElias]

it should say somewhere else in the WG docs... I don't think those sorts of codes are specific to rlogin, they should be codes usable for any module.



as for whether to put it before or after the IP, I have no idea :(

[Raybdbomb]

after works fine... yea i just need to find that WG variable name...



maybe it was case sensitive and i messed that up?



i'll check some more on the docs
