  • Failed Login Attempt help text

    From apam@1:103/705 to Digital Man on Sun Apr 28 21:54:38 2024
    in scfg, the failed login attempt help screen, there is a typo i think

    Filters of IP Addresses (stored in test/ip.can file)
    ^^^^

    I think that should be text.

    In hindsite, I agree, but in fact, I disagree: the .can files are located adjacent to the bad*.msg files in the "text" directory.

    yeah but msg files are meanted to be displayed, so they belong in the sbbs/text directory

    .can files are a type of control file so I feel they belong in sbbs/ctrl

    it's your software, though. but seems weird to me that can files are located in sbbs/text

    It's weird to me too, but a decision I made more than 30 years ago now and not a big enough problem to change now.
