The following are things on my 'to-do' list that may eventually
be done, but not necessarily by the next release.
- Investigate incorporating into TNOS a userfs extension
This would allow *any* Linux (and possibly other Unix) program to open a
file and access certain TNOS features. For instance a terminal program like
minicom could open a device:
/tnos/connect/lan/k0zxf/ko4ks-1/813044
and do the equivalent to 'connect lan k0zxf ko4ks-1 813044'.
You could incorporate a copy of your current usage stats into a email
message in Pine, by simply inserting a file named /tnos/stats/usage/general.
- Add capability to allow use of OS commands
This WILL be limited to Unix version.
- FTP permissions improved
The new UNIX-like dir display needs a little more work with the permissions
portion of the display...
- Add in UNIX permissions checking to FTP server
This could cause problems with restricted files not being restricted.
- Add better support for PBBS<->Internet mail address translation
The 'translate' file and improved handling of aliases is a START, but more
work needs to be done here. Maybe a 'translate.out' file...
- Still better handling of AUTO/LOCAL ax25 routes
Improvement by
Making an ax25 route entry part of the connection block, using this
unique AUTO route for this connection only.
- Support (optimization) for ncurses 1.9.x for performance
- Color support output to Unix console
The various color commands don't work with the Unix kernel and curses.
Annoying, but just possible unexpected output. No crashes.
- Consider altering import code to prevent holding imported messages
Only bypass user permissions checking, not bad word check holding.
- Consider providing a ROSE whitepages server
- Consider providing separate SMTP/BBS rewrite files
