How do I get players to go through the beginner training area?

How do I get players to go through the beginner training area? They seem to go straight to outside the Academy.

To force new players through the beginner area (which is very helpful), you will need to edit:

system\sysdata.dat

and make "Waitforauth" to be "1" as follows:

Waitforauth 1

Then save the file, and restart SMAUG.

If authorisation is turned on, then new players start in room 100. Otherwise they start in room 10300.
