|    MPL Question    |

      From: nospam.Black.Panther@f3.n317.z1.fidonet.org              Hello g00r00!              05 Apr 22 13:00, you wrote to me:               BP>> This is returning '0' to the log file when logging in from the        BP>> command line. I wonder if possibly adding a servertype for local        BP>> login might be simpler than doing the 'local' boolean. Perhaps        BP>> adding servertype of 3 for local.               gr> I don't know what OS or version you're using but it seems to be        gr> working from here I just tested it in Windows A48 and Linux. The        gr> simple test I did was logged in and tried to download the BBS list and        gr> on both OSes it says "Local mode:" and asked me to save.              My test system is running Manjaro Linux 64-bit, with Kernel 5.15.28-1-MANJARO       x86_64.              Let me run a test using the bbs listing as see if that is any different.               gr> Are you sure you're logging in with -L? Make sure you're not setting        gr> the value of Local anywhere in any MPL anywhere, otherwise that will        gr> change it for the entire connection.              Yes, logging in either is -L or running the mpl from a command prompt with the       './mystic -Uuser_Name -Ppassword -X'basicmpl test' format. Neither one will       show the local as being true. Also, the variable is not being changed anywhere       else in the code.               gr> The ServerType that is used internally by Mystic for terminal services        gr> does have a Local mode value. They should be (as of A48 current        gr> releases):               gr> 0=telnet,1=rlogin,2=ssh,3=modem,4=local,5=other              Ooooo. Didn't know about the others on here. So, when it's a local connection       the servertype should also be showing as 4. Looks like I have some more playing       to do. :)              Thank you,                     Black Panther              ...
