Hi all, Im installing msgplus in a cybercafe and my boss told me that functions potentially dangerous must be removed.

With resource hacker I'd deleted most of them but I cant restrict certain extremely dangerous commands like "execute command" and "send file" etc. I know I can deactivate the msgplus command line but if so, I lose functions like color text, sounds, etc.

Is there any way to deactivate specific commands??.

Congratulations Patchou & co. for your GREAT work.

Many thanks and sorry bout my english, I'm spanish

You can disable the options panel (like password protect it)

And create a QuickText inplace of the commands you want removed like /sendfile and /run and just have it return no text that will overwrite the Plus! commands. You will also want to do the same for /dropfile.

It works great, i only have to deny permissions to luser in /hku/software/patchou/msgplus2/'user'/preferences/quicktext/quicktext[command]  cos I want to leave some freedom to luser to modify their own configuration and not to protect it by password.

Many thanks

That would work I guess, only problem is that they wont be able to create any quicktexts at all.

It is not allowed to modify any file from Messenger Plus!.
And certainly not when other people than you have access to it!!

I didn't knew that, I don't usually read EULA, is there some problem to do that? Can I have your agreement? if you want I can send you modified files.

Thanks

Other option would be to just create the quicktexts inplace of the commans you want to disable and dont allow the user write permissions to that key. you can allow read but not write and that would work.

thats exactly what I did but adding that quicktext in nobody as default user in a try to apply this to all users. but didnt work, the problem is that I dont know the user which will connect to add him the quicktext registry entries.

To be fair, it's only /exec, /dropfile, and similar that are potentially dagerous. All other commands and tags are fine.

If you have any programming experience create a DLL for the plugin and an EXE. Have the DLL launch the exe with runas so you can access the registry keys and create them for each user.

If you dont have programming experience PM me the commands you want disabled, and the Admins login and password and I can make it for you.
