If a user has this number of minutes or more, they will not be allowed to convert credits into minutes. A sysop can add minutes to a user's account regardless of this maximum. If this value is set to 0, users will have no limit on the total number of minutes they can have. | +| Credits Per Dollar | 2,097,152 | This is the monetary value of a credit (How many credits per dollar).

The value is determined by calculating 2<sup>n</sup>, where //n// is the ASCII value of the control character (Ctrl-A is 1, Ctrl-B is 2, etc.). In the case of Ctrl-C (n=3), 2<sup>3</sup>=8. \\ \\ To pass-through multiple control key combinations, multiple bits must be set (or'd together) to create the necessary value, which may require the use of a hexadecimal calculator. \\ \\ If unsure, leave this value set to 0, the default. |+| User Database Backups | 5 | Setting this option to anything but 0 will enable automatic daily backups of the user database.

 +| Mail Database Backups | 5 | Setting this option to anything but 0 will enable automatic daily backups of the mail database. This number determines how many backups to keep on disk. | 
 +| Maximum Log File Size | Unlimited | This option allows you to limit the size of the following log files created and appended to by Synchronet in the logs directory (inside the [[dir:data|data directory]]): \\ \\ hungup.log; error.log; crash.log; hack.log; spam.log; guru.log \\ \\ The largest supported log file size limit is 4294967295 (3.99G) bytes. Log files that have reached or exceeded the configured size limit are retained by renaming the *.log file to *.#.log beginning with *.0.log. \\ \\ You must also specify the number of older/max-size log files to retain. The largest number of supported retained rotated log files is 9999. Oldest rotated log files are automatically deleted to save disk space. |

 +^ Option Name                     ^ Description ^ 
 +| System Password                 | This is an extra security password may be required for sysop login and sysop functions.  This password should be something not easily guessed and should be kept absolutely confidential.\\ \\ This password must be entered at the Terminal Server ''SY:'' prompt. | 
 +| Prompt for System Password | Require the system password, along with the sysop's personal user account password, immediately when a system operator is logging in. "Allow Sysop Access" must be set to Yes for this setting to take effect. | 
 +| Allow Sysop Access | Allow users with system operator access to perform privileged sysop functions while logged into the BBS. Setting this option to No will prevent users with sysop [[access:level|security level]] from invoking functions that require system-password authentication. Instead, when a sysop function is attempted the request is ignored. \\ \\ This effectively overrides "Require Sys Pass During Login" below. The sysop will still be able to login to the BBS as a normal user, but will not be asked for the system password and will not be able to invoke sysop functions that required the password. \\ \\ This setting also affects the sysop actions available in the [[server:ftp|FTP server]] when authenticating with <user-pass>:<system-pass> as the password. The sysop user can still authenticate and login, but none of the sysop actions will be available to them. | 
 +| Display/Log Passwords Locally | Displays passwords locally and logs them to disk (e.g., when there's a failed login attempt). \\ \\ For [[howto:hardening|elevated security]], set this option to No. | 
 +| Open to New Users | Allow users to logon on as 'New' to create (register) a new user account. | 
 +| User Expires When Out-of-time | Set users to Expired Account Values (configured elsewhere in the System menu) immediately if they run out of time while logged in.  |
