     Here is a breakdown of changes to the PASSWRDS file required by
STUNY mods to date.      

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The first set of STUNY mods dated 07/04/92 add a 14th parameter
to the PASSWRDS file. This parm sets the number of logins allowed
before RBBS will force a caller to change their password. If this parm 
is set to 0 RBBS will not force any password change.

     The STUNY mods dated 07/24/92 add two more PASSWRDS parms. Although 
the docs say these parms are 14 & 15, they are actually 15 & 16, since
the 14th parm was added in the 07/04 mods. Parm 15 is the number of 
carrier drops a user can have before their security level will be lowered.
The 16th parm is the number of security levels to drop; IE: If the SysOp
sets parm 15 to 10 and a caller has had that many total carrier drops,
their security level will be lowered. If parm 16 is set to 2, and that 
user is a level 8, they will be dropped to level 6.

     The STUNY's dated 09/15/92 added no further changes to the passwords 
file.

     In the STUNY mods dated 11/10/92 another passwords file change occurred.
This parm is set to either 0 or 1, and work as follows: 
     0 - Will not force the caller to read mail
     1 - Forces caller to read mail at log-on.
     
     * So, to date, there have been four parameters added to the PASSWRDS
     file, and a simple breakdown would be:
     
     14 - # of logins to allow before forcing caller to change password.
     15 - # of carrier drops allowed before lowering caller security level.
     16 - How many security levels to drop the caller.
     17 - Force\not force mail read at log-in.
