GKA> So is it just how to setup this flags as i now do it in this way
 GKA> Style  Squish Conf Pub ReadOnly

No.  If you have the user editor working, you will find the flags there to
apply to the user.  Then you also need to apply the flag to each area where
it is appropriate.

 BJ> Maximus can have up to 32 (if I remember correctly) user flags that

 GKA> If wee in maximus login could have a check for asking 
 GKA> the user there login is your node in (some of this 
 GKA> nets)
 GKA> and then comes a list of the nets one by one and the 
 GKA> user has to answer Yes/No to the net and type in his 
 GKA> mail nodenumber in the nets and when all done whill

 GKA> to dl mail pack for the nets echo.

Max by it self was not setup for this.  From max's perspective, the people
uploading and downloading qwk packets are users of your BBS, not other
nodes of a network....

 GKA>> Setting Maximus up with the msgareas special permissions!

Settings are done by user and by message / file area.

 GKA>> So it is done so the other echoes there not is fidonet
 GKA>> echoes is hide and have only showing and permission if
 GKA>> a user is a node in this nets.

If you have two (or more) nets with members in one and not the other, then
you will need to use the flags.  I may have to look up the correct term. 
Ok...  Just looked at the user editor page.  I should be saying keys not
flags.

Take care....
