  • Telnet logging on the Control Panel to a file

    Hello

    I am requesting that add function to log all the telnet request including the ones that continue to connect then disconnect without logging in. It's to hard read the and keep track of all the connections on the telnet Control panel screen and it should be logged to a file.

    The reason for the request is that when the Synchronet control panel is closed the information is lost and for security reasons

    Implemented in commit 80b3da6c7.

    The Synchronet Control Panel (sbbsctrl) can now persist Terminal Server log messages to daily files in your `data/logs` directory (`TS<mmddyy>.LOG`), the same way it already did for the Mail and FTP servers. This includes the connect/disconnect activity you mentioned, and the log survives closing the Control Panel.

    To enable it: **Terminal > Configure > General tab > "Log to Disk"** (then view via **Terminal > View > Today's/Yesterday's/Another Day's Log**). The same capability was added for the Web server (Web > Configure > Log tab).

    Note: the option defaults to *off* so existing installs don't unexpectedly start writing new log files after upgrade — enable it per-server as desired.
