The directory structure of the Foundation I Mudlib is designed to be as intuitive as possible following the dual needs of security and functionality. The directory structure is a direct reflection of the basic design behind the Foundation I Mudlib. The directory structure of the mudlib is divided up into two distinctions: secure directories (sub-dirs of /secure) non-secure directories (all other dirs) To understand this distinction fully, you need to understand better the Foundation I Mudlib security system. To put it short, no object outside of /secure should ever have write access to /secure. If they do, you have a security hole. The directory structure looks like this: /cmds Commands which need no special access. You can feel more free to give out access to people lower down the security ladder to this directory, since it cannot be used to compromise MUD security. /daemon Non-secure daemons. Same deal as with /cmds regarding security. /doc Documentation /domains Domains of the mud. Areas which link creator realms. /ftp You hook up the ftp daemon available at the same site as the mudlib here /include Non-secure include files. /log Logging is done to this directory /news All your news files are located here /realms Cre home directories. /secure The secure directory /std Inheritable mudlib objects /tmp An open directory to which everyone has write access
