1. Install sshpass:

$ sudo apt-get install sshpass

2. Install rsh-redone-client</del>

$ sudo apt-get install rsh-redone-client

sshpass -p PASSWORD ssh -f USERNAME@dp.throwbackbbs.com -p 2022 -L 9999:dp.throwbackbbs.com:513 -N

replacing the username and password with your assigned DoorParty username and password.

When asked to accept the the RSA key fingerprint, type YES and hit ENTER. You can close the terminal afterwards.

3. Create a bash script in your /mystic directory named doorparty.sh. Edit it with your favorite text editor and enter this into it:

#!/bin/bash
# DoorParty Linux bash script
LOCAL_PORT=$((9999 + $1))

sshpass -p PASSWORD ssh -f USERNAME@dp.throwbackbbs.com -p 2022 -L $LOCAL_PORT:dp.throwbackbbs.com:513 -N

rlogin -l [NEW]$2 -p $LOCAL_PORT localhost

kill $(lsof -t -i:$LOCAL_PORT)

#!/bin/bash
# DoorParty Linux bash script
while true
do
sshpass -p PASSWORD ssh USERNAME@dp.throwbackbbs.com -p 2022 -L 9999:dp.throwbackbbs.com:513 -N
sleep 2
done

Again, change the username, password to your assigned DoorParty info, also replacing [NEW] with your assigned BBS tag.

4. Now launch Mystic's config by typing:

$ sudo ./mystic -cfg

5. Go to Editors > pick the theme you want to edit > pick the menu you want to edit. Select IR D3 for the command, and enter this for the DATA:

/ADDR=127.0.0.1:9999 /USER=[NEW]@USER@ /PASS=RANDOM_CHARS

./doorparty.sh %3 %U

Change the [NEW] tag to your assigned BBS tag, and change RANDOM_CHARS to a bunch of random characters; the longer and more random, the better.

Exit and save, then exit Mystic's config.

6. Now change ownership of the scripts to your Linux login, giving it read and write access, and also making them executable.

And that's it! If you have any questions, be sure to check here for help.
