Hi,

I'm looking for advice on how to install TelnetDoor by Rick Parrish. Disclaimer: I'm a total linux newbie.
I can run the door in local mode using "mono" but when I try to run it with
the door32.sys file it exits with a "no carrier" message. I'm passing the socket with ${SOCKET}, I'm guessing that is correct?

Thanks,

I've never tried running a door through mono, are you using telnetdoor
for telnet or rlogin?

I have a python script I use for telnet, but you should be able to use
the standard telnet or rlogin (from rologin-redone package) and just
redirect the io.

if you really want to get telnetdoor working, you could try the
following:

Set stdio = false in your doors.ini

don't worry about passing the socket, it's in door32.sys

It might not work, as (a) i think telnet door tries to open a window,
(b) mono may interfere?

using it for rlogin to connect to my game server.

Like I said, total linux newbie. I'm only using mono because it's the first thing I found, I'm sure there are better ways.

The only thing I really want from the rlogin out is that it pass the username and password I assign.

The only thing I really want from the rlogin out is that it pass the username and password I assign.

The script I use for doorparty came from apam a while back:

#!/bin/bash
USERNAME=your username
PASSWORD=your password
TAG=your tag
DROPFILE=/home/shawn/MagickaBBS/node$1/DOOR.SYS
# -- Don't edit below here --
NODE=$1
HANDLE=$(sed) '36q;d' ${DROPFILE} | tr -d '\r\n')
HANDLE=${HANDLE// /_}
#
rlogin -l [${TAG}]${HANDLE} -p 9999 localhost
kill $(lsof -t -i:$LOCAL_PORT)

You should be able to modify the rlogin part and remove the tag bit for
your game server?
