  • Question Re: allusers.js

    From Buzzkillg230 to All on Mon Sep 22 11:33:10 2025
    Hi All,
    I have a BBS setup, that im using as part of a cyber challenge for work. because i have this system closed and not connected to any other bbs's or fovenet/fido net, i want to seed the user list. when i attempt to use allusers.js with a command like addusers.js add 100 - it fails to add any accounts. my hope was it would produce dummy accounts that are inactive. can someone recommend another way to add ficticious accounts to my bbs.
    Thanks in advance

    alluser.js doesn't create user accounts. See https://wiki.synchro.net/module:allusers for its documentation.

    Synchronet doesn't come with a script for creating "dummy accounts", but there is an included script you can use or modify to do this, provided you have a list of dummy account names, etc. to feed it:

    Also, for Synchronet support questions, see this: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:support
