I wanted to move this to the correct Area. I am not getting listed on the InterBBS user list.

Is this in your services.ini?

Yes

ActiveUser-UDP service enabled in you
services.ini:

[ActiveUser-UDP]
Port=11
MaxClients=10
LogLevel=Notice
Options=UDP | NO_HOST_LOOKUP
Command=fingerservice.js -u

Yes it is

Well it seems to be working now:

No it is not. I am still not listed on the user list. I will give you or anyone that can help full administrator access to trouble shoot the problem.

No it is not.

By "working" I mean, at least one test method (http://cvs.synchro.net/scanmyports.ssjs?havens.synchro.net) is reporting that your systat service is responding.

I am still not listed on the user list. I will give you or
anyone that can help full administrator access to trouble shoot the problem.

For some reason the nightly method of list verification isn't detecting your system as not responding to systat requests. Rather than debug the issue, I just added an override for your system so it should be listed in the distributed sbbsimsg.lst tomorrow.

Thanks DM I'll be looking to cross this off my todo list. :)

I used the method above to scan my ports. Whats the bare minimum that I need to open for the InterBBS chat to work? I've got MSP (18) and Finger (79) open now, and I suspect I need to open systat (11) as well. Do I really need finger (79) open?

Appreciate it.

For inter-bbs instant messaging, you need TCP port 18 (MSP) and UDP port 11 (active-users/systat). You do not have to have finger port 79 (UDP or TCP) open.
