  • Pass username to native program

    Subject says it.

    I quit beating my head against the wall trying to make TelnetDoor work. Ubuntu's native rlogin/ssh didn't work either so I installed syncterm and can call it from a native command line.

    The only paramater I need to pass is the username... is it as simple as ${USERNAME}?

    Thanks!

    You will need to pull the username out of the dropfile


    HANDLE=$(sed '36q;d' ${DROPFILE} | tr -d '\r\n')

    will work on where ${DROPFILE} is the path and filename of door.sys, then $HANDLE will be the user's username

    FXS was down for me yesterday so I messed with this for awhile and got it figured out. I put the dropfile in directly with the node variable, but
    same thing. Thanks!

    So finally I can connect to my rlogin game server seamlessly ! Now to
    make it look a little more custom.
