Startup Initialization File

The Synchronet initialization file is located in the Synchronet ctrl directory.

The base filename of the initialization file is ctrl/sbbs.ini (download the default file here: sbbs.ini).

The standard host/platform variations of the initialization filenames are also supported. See INI Filenaming for details.

When using the Synchronet-Win32 Control Panel, the contents of this file are automatically updated when any of the configuration changes are made in the File->Properties menu or the various server configuration dialogs. Windows sysops may never need to edit this file by hand.

If a sysop needs to edit the file by hand, any decent text file editor should do the job. See INI Files for more details.

The contents of the file are divided into multiple named sections:

• Configuration
• Servers
