    It allows users to make multiple accounts and play the game on multiple

    This isn't a new problem that's been introduced by door servers. On most BBSs a
    user can create multiple accounts if they wish, and play games as many times per day as they have accounts. Hard to prevent. At best, the only limit is how many email addresses the user has access to for verification purposes.

    Letting users access one account on the door server from multiple BBSs doesn't solve the problem but might lessen it. This introduces other challenges.

    accounts is what I was saying. The BBS should handle the user accounts,
    and
    the trust should be between the BBS server and the door server.

    With the setup(s) that I'm familiar with, there is a trust relationship between
    client BBS and door server, and accounts are handled by the client BBS. The BBS asserts user identity, the door server accepts it, and whatever trust mechanism is used makes this okay. Past that point you're getting into internals of how the door server does its business re: keeping track of users.

    my error log is full of error cannot write to chat.dat or something like that, is that what is happening to you?

    Are you using anything other than Mystic (third party scripts, mods, etc)

    No im not its a stock install, I think the exact error is chat2.dat.. I would cut and paste here but I have not figured out how to do that yet.

    I also run Mystic and have no issues at all. I know I can rlogin fro Mystic to gamesrv, can the reverse happen, that is from another bbs rlogin to Mystic just for the games?

    Yes. You can either make them a user account and they login straight to their start menu which is a list of doors they have access to, or you could do a little scripting and make it all transparent based on a door
    ID passed via RLOGIN.

    Now the second option I might have just broke in the test versions of A46 though. But its been available for years and no one has used it so I am not sure anyone ever would anyway.

    Thanks for feed back, unfortunately I was not aware of that capability of
    the second option that was "broke" in latest alpha.
