*** Page from System: Lance made god
Obi:              use the new because ec will support ot longer is my opinion
Hank:             everyone knows CC is now selling "unlimited" licenses
Hank:             a lot of people have asked what that means here
Hank:             basically - no change
Hank:             we still have the 50 user and 100 user levels of service
*** Page from System: .ßhaia[Try's]^^ made god
Hank:             we'd love to let everyone cut loose with the 
unlimited licenses - but they don't make servers that big :-)
Katt:             heh
~Joy©Æ:           awwww
Hank:             so - set your maxserverocc to whatever your service 
contract is
Gyrithe©:         That mean I can let the old reg stay...no need to 
mess with it?
Hank:             yes Gyr
Gyrithe©:         okay :)
Hank:             now - 4.3.2
Hank:             the first thing you'll notice in 4.3.2 is when you 
kill someone it does it twice
matt snow:        just in case they're still alive
Katt:             hehehe
~Joy©Æ:           )Bagpipes.wav
Hank:             it is killing both the PUID and the reg key - to 
save you work
SwtNita:          :cuz im a lousy shot
~Joy©Æ:           :good good
matt snow:        hehe
Gyrithe©:         :How to we keep people out who uses invalid codes?
Hank:             also - a lot of you have those scripts at your 
palaces for turning off hide and rejectprivate at login
Hank:             you can toss those - that bug is fixed
SwtNita:          kewl
Trystan[ß]^^^:    !WOOHOO
Hank:             let me know if you see otherwise
Hank:             ok - a new command
Gyrithe©:         I deletet that script some time ago...
Gyrithe©:         And have had no problems :)
Hank:             anyone ever wanted to know what something is set to 
on yur palace?
SwtNita:          y
Katt:             yep
Hank:             try this - 'reportprefs
Lilady©:          yes
SwtNita:          wow
Katt:             wow indeed
matt snow:        :kewl
Hank:             it tells you what EVERYTHING is set to
Gyrithe©:         :Impressive
Katt:             very good
Mad Daddy:        Coolest
SwtNita:          and those setting can be changed?
Hank:             ok - the last new command is called setrank
Lance:            great command
Trystan[ß]^^^:    i like setrank
Hank:             you use it to determine who can do what
Hank:             like say you don't want wizzes to be able to kill
Obi:              :excpt author
Hank:             you would type 'setrank 'kill 3
Gyrithe©:         what do Authentication means?
Hank:             it's a "future feature" gyr
Hank:             yes Obi you can control access to author
Gyrithe©:         oh
Hank:             anyway - the "ranks" are.......
Hank:             0=guest
Hank:             1=member
Hank:             2=wiz
Hank:             3=god
Hank:             so say you don't want yur wizzes authoring
Hank:             you turn authoring off by ytping 'authoring off
Trystan[ß]^^^:    lol
Gyrithe©:         would setting author to only god level...give the 
same protection as setting it to off....when I am not present?
matt snow:        :i see a trend here
Trystan[ß]^^^:    not setrank
Hank:             then you make it so the wiizzes cannot turn it back 
on by typing
Hank:                'setrank 'authoring 3
~Joy©Æ:           isn't authoring a god's command?
Obi:              lol thats exactly what i meant
Gyrithe©:         Yes it is Joy
Hank:             or say you do want your wizzes to be able to shutdown
Lilady©:          ^?
Hank:             you would type 'setrank 'shutdown 2
Gyrithe©:         :Think shutdown is a god only command too?
~Joy©Æ:           :yes
Sunset©:          :it is at my place
Hank:             :you can change it to wiz if ya want
Obi:              yuhuh
~Joy©Æ:           ah
Trystan[ß]^^^:    so is uplist downlist and flushprops
~Joy©Æ:           okie
Hank:             ya'all get the general idea right?
matt snow:        yeppers
SwtNita:          somewhat
Ahree^^^:         can it be selective?
Mad Daddy:        :Yep
Sunset©:          yup
~Joy©Æ:           :i'm not taking notes, really
Hank:             questions nita?
~Joy©Æ:           :Sunset is
Bratô:            :uh-huh
Gyrithe©:         I would very much like to have my wizards beeing 
able to restart the server...is that possible in any way??
Obi:              just wish you could set authoring to god only 
without having to turn it off and on when you author
Katt:             if i have authoring off.. but want wizzes to be 
able to turn it back on.. type setrank author 2?
Hank:             they would need your user utility password Gyr
SwtNita:          is there a way of having 2 levels of wiz's?? some 
that can author and some cant??
Hank:             yes Kat
~Joy©Æ:           :good question
Katt:             excellent
Sunset©:          i'm with obi on the author thing
Hank:             no Nita
SwtNita:          k
Obi:              lol nita god wizads *wink*
Hank:             sorry :-)
Gyrithe©:         Yes...that I do not want....But I suggest you some 
day make it possible somehow...without giving them any other access :)
Hank:             we would have to create multiple accounts for 
everyone to do that Gyr
matt snow:        that's an unknown future feature Nita
~Joy©Æ:           i vote for Gyr for president
~Joy©Æ:           :heh
Katt:             heh
SwtNita:          i need that matt LOL
Redô:             ^?
~Joy©Æ:           multiple is good........
~Joy©Æ:           :in some cases
Hank:             is restart the ONLY thing you want wizzes to have 
access to from user utilities?
Gyrithe©:         Yes
Sunset©:          yes
Lilady©:
Hank:             no log access?
SwtNita:          no
Sunset©:          no
Hank:             is everyone unanimous on that?
~Joy©Æ:           yep
Gyrithe©:         :reason is I cant affort to be online as much as I 
want...and it would be nice if a wiz could try restart...if needed
SwtNita:          exactly G
Obi:              log access is good but i dont mind not having it available
Sunset©:          that's why i want it too
Gyrithe©:         No, no logaccess
Hank:             well we could do a couple things
~Joy©Æ:           :kewl
Sunset©:          :hop on it
Hank:             1) find another password protected mechanism for restart
~Joy©Æ:           heh
Hank:             2) make the palaces restart themselves if they fail
~Joy©Æ:           oooohhhhhhhh
SwtNita:          how?
Sunset©:          i like thta betta
~Joy©Æ:           that would be great
SwtNita:          sure would
Hank:             we use a function called cron
Gyrithe©:         Make it restart automatically could give a problem...
Trystan[ß]^^^:    i would like the cron restart
Obi:              no i dont like that option because it might cause 
further corruption
SwtNita:          how G?
Hank:             why Gyr?
~Joy©Æ:           hmmm?
Gyrithe©:         Would be no good if it try restart in the middle of 
me changing the dat
Redô:             ^?
Hank:             true
SwtNita:          could it restart in a "safe mode" like my windows 
likes to do?
Obi:              bingo
Hank:             well I'll look at options and see what we can do
Obi:              Gyr hit it on the head
Hank:             maybe an email bot
Sunset©:          you should be able to disable the restart if you 
are gonna do sumpin
Sunset©:          like the dat
Hank:             hmm - ok
SwtNita:          yes would be good
~Joy©Æ:           i vote for Sunset as president
Hank:             so - auto restart that you can turn off
~Joy©Æ:           :lol lotsopresidents today
SwtNita:          :joy as sec. she already has a desk
Gyrithe©:         thats a possibillity
Sunset©:          i think that would work
~Joy©Æ:           :haha
Hank:             ok let me see what we can come up with
~Joy©Æ:           :where's Monica when ya need her
Obi:              cron job to email wizfails too?? *hint* : )
SwtNita:          can you do a 2nd wiz level to hank?
Mad Daddy:        :don't ask Joy
~Joy©Æ:           lol Mad Daddy
Sunset©:          lol
~Joy©Æ:           :ok
Hank:             emailing wizfails is overkill - we can give you the 
tools to find those in the log
Gyrithe©:         :Loghelp do that very well :)
Hank:             Nita - that's a limitation of the software - not 
something I can change
SwtNita:          ok
Hank:             talk to CC about that one
Sunset©:          :right
SwtNita:          gimme phone number?
Sunset©:          :talk to the hand
~Joy©Æ:           :Lance is too quiet
matt snow:        c, cc ryder
~Joy©Æ:           yo Lance?
Hank:             ok - the biggest feature of 4.3.2 is plugins
~Joy©Æ:           ok being quiet now
Mad Daddy:        Hmmm
Hank:             yes Red?
Redô:             Since you started to mention plug-ins a bit ago .... .
Mad Daddy:        LOL
Hank:             ya gettin to that now
Redô:             What is the "occumon.so" file referenced in my 
plugins.conf file and will additional plugins be added as you see 
fit(and they become available) or will we ...
Redô:              server operators be notified that the plugin is 
available before it is randomkly assumed that 'we want to use it'?

SwtNita:          translation obi?
Hank:             :getting to that
Redô:             :waiting/....
Obi:              LOL hank will translate in english : )
Mad Daddy:        :scary stuff
~Joy©Æ:           :oh boy
~Joy©Æ:           here we go
Hank:             ok - plugins is a new thing in 4.3.2 that lets us 
add features
Hank:             the first one is what red referred to
Hank:             occumon
Gyrithe©:         :For the wishlist:  A class where we learn all 
about the plug inns....I know nothing about it at all :(
Redô:             :occupancy monitor
Hank:             we put that in to monitor activity on each server - 
to find load problems and glitches
~Joy©Æ:           :k another vote for Gyr
Gyrithe©:         :lol
Hank:             it simply tells us how many people are on each server
Hank:             the next plugin is gatekeeper
Trystan[ß]^^^:    :NODING
Hank:             everyone heard of it?
SwtNita:          nope
matt snow:        :i am the keymaster
Sunset©:          no
~Joy©Æ:           :no
Mad Daddy:        :big brother
Lilady©:          no
Redô:             
Gyrithe©:         :know very little ablot it
SwtNita:          :red knows everything
Hank:             gatekeper allows you to set up a list of known 
wizards and gods
Gyrithe©:         :About
Redô:             no ...
matt snow:        it's from tupperware
SwtNita:          lol
Hank:             anyone not on the list cannot wiz or god up - even 
with the password
Sunset©:          ohhhh
~Joy©Æ:           :psst Lance, while Hank is busy typing.......
Sunset©:          so no hacking
Gyrithe©:         How do I set that up??
Trystan[ß]^^^:    will this feature be installed?
Gyrithe©:         :Sounds usefull :)
Hank:             we've given it out to a few palaces that had 
security problems
SwtNita:          is it already?
Obi:              sounds good on the surface...
Hank:             we are releasing it next week
SwtNita:          and how do we access it?
Hank:             there is a web page you go to and turn on gatekeeper
Hank:             then restart your server
Gyrithe©:         Is it a pluginn from AIC or CC?
Trystan[ß]^^^:    smile,  will it have its own password athentication?
Hank:             Gatekeeper was written by CC
SwtNita:          will access email the url?
Hank:             yes we will
SwtNita:          k

Sunset©:          and?
Sunset©:          no more ads???
Hank:             they made it so they can clone AV's

matt snow:        :not me
Gyrithe©:         :Am thinking of making author off...to make sure 
nothing happens
Hank:             it is the same as the old hacked mac client - it 
turns on the wiz menu but does not give wiz power
.ªßJ´.:           they can author also
~Joy©Æ:           :test
Hank:             what the hacked client does do is..........
Obi:              test
matt snow:        how do we protect our palaces from that?
Hank:             1) they can clone props
Pilar:            Greetings Trystan, Psy, Ahree

Gyrithe©:         But then its too late...they have seen all passwords
Obi:              global center may get a call from germany soon.........GRRRR
Hank:             1) there is nothing you can do right now about the cloning
~Joy©Æ:           no they have not
.ªßJ´.:           wear this
Hank:             no - they cannot see a password
~Joy©Æ:           hahahaha SJ
Katt:             lol sj
Gyrithe©:         Yes, I mean any passwords I have in scripts
~Joy©Æ:           kewl!
.ªßJ´.:           it helps
Hank:             Gyrthie - even you cannot see a password
Ahree^^^:         lol
Gyrithe©:         :I have password protected rooms and so
Hank:             yes - passwords in scripts they can see
SwtNita:          in scripts for private rooms you mean?
SwtNita:          k
Hank:             so what you do is....
Hank:             turn authoring off when you are not actually authoring
Hank:             then they can not see or change anything
Gyrithe©:         Okay...will do so after this meeting
~Joy©Æ:           ok
Gyrithe©:         :At least for some time
Obi:              :you could use prop keys toodont use name use prop id
~Joy©Æ:           I do it all the time but "someone" turns it back on again
Mad Daddy:        What if wizzes are set to turn author on?
Gyrithe©:         Only Gods can turn it back on
Sunset©:          any way to make it so that when the person who 
turned authoring on leaves it goes back on
~Joy©Æ:           :i know
Hank:             then use setrank so they can't
Sunset©:          :i always forget to turn it back off
Mad Daddy:        Ouch

* .ªßJ´. *        do you know why every other half n hour pru lags to deatj?
Hank:             almost all wiz/god functions are executed by the 
server - so the hacked client cannot use them
Sunset©:          :think lag joy
Gyrithe©:         :Guess a script, ON LEAVE could be written for that Obi
Hank:             cloning is done at the client - so they can do that
~Joy©Æ:           :sowwy sheesh
Hank:             basically - any of the ~ commands they can use
Trystan[ß]^^^:    on leave script not good either
Obi:              yuhuh gyr thats what i was suggesting
Obi:              but on disconnect

something you shud get into the habit of anyway
Trystan[ß]^^^:    yes
Gyrithe©:         :No 'on disconnect' command in itpscray
Mad Daddy:        :bummer

~Joy©Æ:           ok so like if the wizard don't show up then they 
can't be blessed?
Hank:             like Gyrithe siad.......
Mad Daddy:        : I want to keep Gyr handcuffed to the bedpost

Hank...of the AIC people I should bless
Sunset©:          me too
Hank:             like I said - you cannot bless unless the person is there
Sunset©:          so do we schedule an appointment?
Obi:              i think they meant puids so they can verify
SwtNita:          have a blessing party at each palace
Gyrithe©:         I understood that...but I still want a list...not 
to have anyone sneak in and clame they are from AIC
Hank:             puid's won't help

Lucid©:           ok
Gyrithe©:         :I have no small props in this bag....do it offend

Mad Daddy:        :I don't have a small one
Sunset©:          naw, you can be a ball
matt snow:        noperz Gyr
Redô:             : ;)
Lucid©:           naked is good
Gyrithe©:         LOL
Obi:              :just dont turn blue
Redô:             :we all started out naked
Hank:             if you are on a PC you can do a traceroute by 
bringing up a DOS window - or "command Prompt"
Mad Daddy:        Sorry Hank, go ahead
~Joy©Æ:           there Gyr
Hank:             waiting till everyone has the picture
Katt:             got it
Sunset©:          ^got it
Gyrithe©:         :Hmmm...maybe a bit too naked for me ;)
Zesis^^:          :c'mon down Ahree
Hank:             anyomne not ready?
Hank:             ok
Hank:             this is a traceroute
Hank:             if you are on a PC you can do a traceroute by 
bringing up a DOS window - or "command Prompt"
Hank:             to trace from you to us - in the command prompt 
window - type "tracert chatterbox.accesscom.com"
Hank:             that cammand again
Hank:             ^tracert chatterbox.accesscom.com
Hank:             you will get something that looks like this
Obi:              global center timing out again
matt snow:        :kewl
Hank:             ok - each numbered line is a "hop" between me and you
Hank:             the first part of each line tells you who it is
Hank:             for instance
Hank:             rt1.accesscom.com (line 1) is my router
Hank:             sitting right behind me
Mad Daddy:        :domain name
Hank:             then (lines 2-4) it goes through BBNPLANET
Hank:             then sprintlink
Hank:             then cvnet
Hank:             etc
Hank:             this is just a sample - not the real trace for any of you
Hank:             ok - the numbers in parentheses is the IP address 
that goes with the name
Hank:             then you see three numbers on each line
Hank:             that's three samples of the time for that hop
Hank:             each time is in milliseconds (thousanndths of a second)
*** ; Hank is Painting
Hank:             see am?
SwtNita:          y
Sunset©:          y
Hank:             if you see an asterisk - that means a failure
Hank:             like these
.ßhaia[Try's]^^:  :getting out lag repellant
Mad Daddy:        :artistic genius
Hank:             everyone with me so far?
SwtNita:          y
Sunset©:          y
Mad Daddy:        Yep
Hank:             ok so if I wanted to analyze this trace
Hank:             I'd say this user was having major problems with sprintlink
Gyrithe©:         :I have a question
Hank:             yes?
*** Page from System: Katt has logged off, 6 wizards remain(including you)
*** ; Hank is Erasing
Lucid©:           yup
Gyrithe©:         the time I see...(milisecs)...is such small numbers...
Hank:             yup
Gyrithe©:         not long ones like here in this room
Mad Daddy:        LOL
Hank:             small numbers is good
Gyrithe©:         how do I read them...comparing to what I see here?
Hank:             big numbers (over 750) are bad
Gyrithe©:         mine looks like this 000   not 000.000
Hank:             you can also do a trace from our web page
Hank:             that means it was too quick to measure Gyr
Gyrithe©:         well...its not 000's but I do not have any . (Dot's)
Hank:             to do a trace from our webpage - go to 
www.accesscom.com/cgi-bin/traceroute.cgi
matt snow:        i think i get it
Hank:             so - why do a trace?
Sunset©:          to find the problem
Hank:             it will tell you where the lag is and who to yell at :-)
Gyrithe©:         to discover what/where courses the lag
SwtNita:
Sunset©:          translation... no yelling at chatserve
Lucid©:           i know that most TCP/IP apps die when response 
times are over 600 ms
Obi:              fe1-0-0.ar3.SNV.globalcenter.net [206.251.5.2]

Mad Daddy:        W'll yell at you Hank and you can yell at them
Obi:              is the prob for me
Hank:             no - if you see a problem in bbnplanet, or 
glabalcenter - yell at me rright away
Hank:             and I will yell at them
Gyrithe©:         :still do not feel sure how to read my DOS prompt
Hank:             if ya see a problem on your end - yell at your ISP
Sunset©:          hank... did you trace joy?
Hank:             if ya see a problem in the middle - we can try to 
yel at them but it usually dosen't help
Hank:             yes I did
Obi:              :yelling LOL
Sunset©:          k
Hank:             her problem is with the upstream providoe that her 
ISP connects to
Lucid©:           im guessing most backbone providers are hard to 
deal with  lol
Hank:             I will report it to BBN and see if they can fix it
Hank:             yes they can be Lucid :-)
Gyrithe©:
Hank:             OK I'm gonna call BBN and see if they can put any 
pressure on teleglobe to fix Joy's problem
Sunset©:          she thanks you
Hank:             anyone got any other questions?
Gyrithe©:         No
Hank:             :Matt's tryin to pull the numbers down
