Ok the first time around playing with CONTROL (don't recall which version) users had no access to things like MajorMUD etc and I didn't play with it any more, figured I'd get back to it later. So just now I installed CONTROL 5.62 on a test machine (WG 3.30) and was able to get both new and existing users into MUD with no problems. However I have the same issue I had a long time ago when I tried to run CONTROL in that it resets everyone except Sysop or other Sysop empowered accounts to having a setting of 0 for their column and row setting. Not only does this make menu navigation rather annoying it prevents people from using the FSE when creating a character or training stats. The only solution I was given many years ago was to go to the account settings and re-enter the values, this seems far less than ideal since every existing and new user would have to go and manually alter them. Is there something I'm missing or overlooking? I haven't seen anything that would allow me to alter this behavior.

Short of a solution for this particular issue under this version of CONTROL is there another version of CONTROL I could try that doesn't do this? Really the only functionality I need is to limit X number of connections per IP.

Ok so I figured it out. Had to change the key for class protection. And when I looked deeper at the TCP/IP controls I see that it's far less automagical than I was hoping, unless I'm overlooking something else.
