Hi Michael,<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div>
<div><div class="im"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">1a) There's no #define that I can change to #undef to turn off the alphabet-soup prompt (a user still needs to issue the X command to get that to go away);</p>

2) Even though (after #undef'ing the two symbols named above) I don't need to doctor up entries in users.dat for the Tactical Call Signs, I still need to create entries for them in ftpusers (unless I'm willing to let them default to "univperm", or some more specific "<interface>perm").</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The allowed tactical call signs are not defined in users.dat. They are defined in a file called “TacCalls” which is located in the main JNOS directory. </span></p>
</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Copy that. I got the skinny on TacCalls from one of the responses to the OP in this thread. <br><br>My interest in asking this question was simply to know how to interpret the various codes and fields found in users.dat, so I wouldn't be hacking it blindly (which I've already done, once!).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I would say yes, you’d need to define the perms in ftpusers if you don’t want univperm.</span></p></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Yep, that was my sense, again, something to test. <br>
