-
- 1. WHAT DOES IT DO?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Logger is a Yet-Another-Pseudo-Security-System (YAPSS), but this it is also
- a touch more useful, since it allows users to use your Amiga through any
- device. This means you can have as many users using your Amiga as you wish
- (only the hardware limits the amount of simultanous users). It also has the
- capability of answering the phone, so logons through modems are also
- possible.
-
- 2. WHAT DO YOU NEED?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You'll need an Amiga computer (see compatibility list), with Kickstart
- 2.04 (version 37 or higher).
-
- 3. COMPATIBILITY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Logger will work on any Commodore Amiga, running on Kickstart
- 2.04 or higher. This includes the following: A500(+), A600, A1000, A2000,
- A2500/20, A2500/30, A3000 (16 MHz or 25 Mhz model). The program SHOULD
- work on any upgrades (based on the Amiga Development Guidelines, see
- Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual (Release 2): Includes and Autodocs,
- introduction) and future A4000-series. Logger works with all internal
- modems (I have a Supra 2400zi) and extra serial boards that support
- the normal device commands.
-
- 4. HOW TO RUN IT
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You can run the program from a CLI/SHELL/etc. but you can't hang an icon on
- it and start it from the Workbench.
-
- To run the program, run Logger from your CLI/SHELL/etc. with the desired
- commands and options. Please note that since I haven't written a proper
- parser, you MUST give the options in order.
-
- USAGE: Logger [-1 | -2 | -3] [-l | -d] [-s Number] [Unit] [Device]
-
- Where: [-1] log login failures
- [-2] log correct logins
- [-3] log all logins
- [-l] is for local mode
- [-d] for dumb mode (no hayes commands sent)
- [-s Number] speed to use
- [Unit] is the unit number
- [Device] is the device name
-
- Default: [Device] is serial.device
- [Unit] is 0
-
-
- or use
-
- 1> Logger ? | -? | h | -h
-
- for the above command line options and copyrights.
-
- 4.1 Local mode
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Local mode allows you to login from a CLI/Shell window. This command line
- option excludes all others. It will automatically turn on dumb mode, so no
- Hayes commands are sent.
-
- 4.2 Dumb mode
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When this is set, no Hayes commands are sent to the device. It also stops
- the program from waiting for RINGS and CONNECTS.
-
- 4.3 Speed to use
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This describes the speed to use on the device. The device will be opened
- with this as the default speed.
-
- 4.4 Log login failures
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Writes all failed logins to GETTY:Logger.log. The 'GETTY:' will most likely
- be changed to 'LOGGER:'.
-
- 4.5 Log correct logins
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Logs all correct logins to GETTY:Logger.log. The 'GETTY:' will most likely
- be changed to 'LOGGER:'.
-
- 4.6 Log all logins
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Logs all incorrect and correct logins to GETTY:Logger.log. The 'GETTY:'
- will most likely be changed to 'LOGGER:'.
-
- 4.7 Unit number
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Specifies the unit number of the device. Doesn't apply when local mode is
- used.
-
- 4.8 Device name
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Specifies device to be used.
-
-
- 5. USING LOGGER
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- To actually use logger you will also need the following programs: PassWd,
- Finger (optional), W (optional), Uptime (optional) and Lock (optional).
-
- 5.1 PassWd
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- PassWd is the program that makes and upholds the password file.
-
- Examples:
-
- 1. Logger -3 -s2400 0 modem0.device
-
- 2. RUN >NIL: Logger -1 -d -s38400 0 serial.device
-
- 3. Logger -l
-
-
- 6. HINTS & TIPS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 7. PROBLEMS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- Logger won't hangup if the DTR is dropped, or if the users suddenly hangs
- up...
-
- 8. ERROR MESSAGES
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The Logger program will display necessary error messages. I HATE
- PROGRAMS THAT DON'T TELL WHAT-THE-HELL IS GOING ON! That clear? If
- Logger doesn't give any output, something is seriously wrong or
- I was lazy :).
-

- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- welcome.
-
- 11. BUGS
- ~~~~~~~~
- Logger has been run with enforcer and mungwall. It will be run with devmon
- as soon as I can find it again :). In other words, I haven't found any
- bugs, so this part in the docs is totally useless! :)
-
- 12. SHAREWARE FEE
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- As of version 1.05, Logger is ShareWare. I am not asking for a huge
- amount of money so I hope I will get some response. The fee is only $5 to
- $10 (USD), or whatever that happens to make at the moment you're reading
- this, in german marks (DM). If you're from Finland a sum of 20 FIM to 50
- FIM is great (Yeah, so what if I changed the $10 to $12 ? You Finnish guys
- don't have to pay so much for postage :)
-
