• log in first time as sysop on Synchronet

    From Centinel to All on Sun Jun 1 16:26:21 2025
    I go to log in to the bbs for the first time as sysop, a new user, I type "new". It suggests I set up the sysop log in and asks for the system password i created at first set up. However, when I attempt to type the password I get no response from my keyboard.

    Am i overlooking a small detail here, or should I try a different keyboard? The same keyboard let me log in here and typ all of this.

    I believe i followed the instructions here just fine https://vert.synchro.net/?page=000-home.xjs

    The system password is not echoed. Just type the password and hit the ENTER key.

    oh, yeah. no, duh. I appreciate the reply! Thanks, digital man.

    I'll read through the set up a bit more but I think I am interested in your ddns for sychronet sysops.
