s there any way to make the NTY session show up as REMOTE instead of LOCAL?
Yes, a kernel variable needs to be set by the following command:
$ MULTINET SET/KERNEL NETWORK_PTY_IS_REMOTE 1
This command has to be executed each time MultiNet is started. If it
exists, MultiNet executes the file MULTINET:LOCAL_INITIALIZATION.COM
after starting. You can add the SET/KERNEL command to the file if it
already exists, or create the file and add the SET/KERNEL command if
the file does not already exist.

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
So, for noone to be able to delete a file, you need to not have the D set in the protection mask, and also, the owner of the file needs to be someone else, or else people can always change the protection to allow the deletion.
All that said, the same applies for modifying a file. For that you need write access.
Now, there is no way for you to allow people to create files remotely on your machine without them also having write access to the files. And besides, naturally they will be the owners of the files if they create them.
The best I can think of here is to just set a default protection so that newly created files at least by default have a protection that don't include D (and possibly exclude both E and W as well).
The second part of this is actually making the files visible in the specific library. For this users need write access to the directory (and possibly extend access). In order to find the files, you need read access. For removing files from a directory, you need write access to the directory.
So obviously, you either allow both entering and removing, or neither.

router. It's failing to connect to mine at home as well, which is odd,
that was working. I'll need to look into that.
Hmmm. My link to Ian hasn t come up yet.
And it looks like Comcast is blocking inbound SNMP. Bastards.
Wow. Really? Why the hell would they do that...
I'll just have to re-enable the exception for my site and have it push over the VPN.
Boo!!!

I can obviously see several potential issues here.
First of all, I'll have to make an assumption about that the first line after the .BEGIN... is a header line to be ignored.
Good point. It should be prefixed with something to indicate it's to be ignored. Unless we're going to use it to help the parsing.
Second, I'll have to assume that the same fields exist, in the same order, always. The other alternative is to actually parse the first line, and hope that the column titles in the first line have been standardized fully, and then match columns to find what I'm looking for after that.
I'd say the first one is easiest to implement, the second more robust.
Third, things like the style of hardware, os and location fields are totally free at this point, which goes against my wish for something a bit uniform. (What kind of OS is "Pyffle BBS" for example?)
Good point, maybe re-label the field "software stack" so it says Ubuntu Linux v<whatever> + Pyffle BBS or whatnot. Or I could just stick Ubuntu in there.
I'm sure that if I were to write something to scrape the stuff, I bet there might turn up other issues as well over time.
Yes, I'm a grumpy fart. :-)
I'm sure, I think the "standard" was devised with like 3 emails or something.
But the point is that scraping is IMHO the best way to go - no need to give people write access to your DB, yet people can still update their info without bugging you.
