Outpost Packet Message Manager, v310c46, 23 March 2016 Copyright (c) 2003 - 2016 Jim Oberhofer KN6PE 1. Overview 2. Who should install v3.1.0 3. Installation Notes 4. Changes with this release ---------------------------------- 1. OVERVIEW ---------------------------------- Outpost v3.1 addresses a specific environmental change occuring with the Winlink Global Email environment. The Specific changes included in this release include: 1. Secure Logon. Winlink will move all users to a secure logon requirement. This means that after connecting to the Winlink server, the user must enter in a secure user password. This change is designed to ensure that an individual's winlink email account cannot be compromised. 2. BBS User Access Control. In direct support of the above change, Outpost will implement a BBS UAC data structure, essentially moving all BBS password management from the TNC Setup to a new Station ID setup. This change allows users to manage their BBS-by-telnet and AGWPE passwords in in a single place. This release updates the main Outpost program. No data file updates will be made as part of the release. ---------------------------------- 2. WHO SHOULD INSTALL Outpost v3.0 ---------------------------------- All Winlink users must install and configure this version of Outpost prior to the Winlink transition to mandatory Secure Logon. This requires you to (i) Create a passworded account on the Winlink website and check user Secure Logon, (ii) Install this version of Outpost and configure your winlink logon and passwords. ---------------------------------- 3.
