[xfbb] Problem

[Bo Skoglund]

Hi Barry.

Log in as sysop on the bbs.
As sysop you can use the 'DOS'-command (in FBBDOS) to access system commands.
(Normal bbs users has no access to this command)

Example: dos date 051010122008
(sets time to: May 05 10:12 2008)

Be careful, the 'DOS'-command runs as 'root' and gives access to all system command that 'root' has access to.
Also you can not use the 'DOS'-command where the system command expects some sort of keyboard interaction.
