How do I creata a Winlink account?

[Manuel Ochoa]

I just got my first DigiPi up running today.

The fist step is to initialize your settings.

The form is asking for my Winlink password, however, I don't have one. When I click the "create Account" link, it takes my to the winlink.org website.

The Winlink website says this:

Winlink Accounts...

...are created with a client program. You can not create one here.

It seems like circular logic, i agree.  It's been a while, but you can connect
via telnet with no password using your_c...@winlink.org, and no password.
A password will be sent to you on your second connection.

you can add your password after-the-fact with

sudo remount
sudo nano ~/config/pat/config.json

{
 "mycall": "KM6LYW",
 "secure_login_password": "7XXYYA",
 "auxiliary_addresses": [],
 "locator": "CM98mv",


I haven't tried this specifically, but it's worth a shot with PatEmail, using Telnet:




winlink.org:
Connect with the system (sending a message via Telnet is okay) to begin creating your account. Do not use a password on your first connection. Your account's radio email address is YOUR...@winlink.org. A message containing your password will be posted by the system to your account. Retrieve it with a second connection. After retrieving your password, secure login will now be enforced by the CMS, so be sure to set your password in your client program before your next connection try!
