NAME
rocat - BBS System for Linux/Unix

SYNOPSIS
rocat

DESCRIPTION
The Roman Catacombs BBS System (rocat) for Linux/Unix (POSIX). rocat is a BBS system written for Linux (POSIX). It uses Unix-style utilities for all major functions, when appropriate. rocat supports the following features:

Error logging of all functions

Multi-machine capabilities

Internet sockets

SysOp 'monitoring' of users

Centralized error logging

Easy and quick to setup and use

CONFIGURATION
rocat requires no configuration other than the $BBSDIR environment variable. However, configuration of the BBS configuration file $BBSDIR/config/bbsinfo is necessary to point the BBS to the correct error logging machine. rocat is designed to be as flexible as possible with respect to large and small installations. It is meant to be scalable to multiple architectures running concurrently.

BUGS
rocat is inefficient (e.g. slow) when the monitor process is running. It should show very little degradation when the SysOp is watching.
