OK so I'm runnin my 2.0 server at camelot.myvnc.com:5154.
Recieved a report that a registered Centrum member didnt have the "+" sign before their name.
Also - whenever I log in - I dont even have the "+" sign.
What is the BZFS .conf command for this? I dont think its in my config.

I was talking to somebody else that didn't have their + sign, and it turned out they waited a few days and it popped up. A delay i'm guessing? Or was she doing something wrong and fixed it without telling me?

Anyways, from what i've experienced I think it's a delay.

would that also delay the "identify" command? Would it cause that to delay also?

If it is a delay, theoretically it would delay identify too, because tokens and identifying draw from the same database.

hmm...The only way someone gets the signs there is if they identify - I am sure theres a config switch im missing...Like for global login?

No, global login works on my server and I have no special switch.

The /identify, /register, and like commands only operate on user info stored in local files on the bzfs machine. You don't need them anymore using forum accounts.
"Waited a few days" ? Perhaps you mean several seconds, or a couple of minutes? There was next to no delay in the old /identify system. The new system has to communicate over the 'net with the forum, so it can take a moment or two.

disable the password file.

Sir Lance-A-Lot · Post by **Sir Lance-A-Lot** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 1:20 am

disable as in delete? ok - I'll take it out of the Server folder and see what it does.

And take the -passdb line out of the CONF file.

does your ISP use a transperant proxy server? if it does then you'll want to try and use port 81 for your list server. Some ISPs use a chaching proxy, and it screws up the tokens for auth.

just try adding -publiclist http://my.bzflag.org:81/db/
