So if I may paraphrase here since we both run more than 2 BBS,
we're not the norm here :) Most people run only 1 BBS thus their requirements
for what they do aren't as complex as they would be for you or I. Even I had
to code in a patch so that JNOS would accept locally written B and P mail from
my LinFBB. The No BID patch that I supplied Maiko works for the average sysop.

I'm confused. Please explain the nature of this statement? There's only 2 things
currently that this does in xNOS that I'm aware of:
- Forces just a SID and ">" prompt
- now forces a BID when sending mail (which makes for safer forwarding).
What other "safer" logins and forwarding do you get from this?

So you're using straight telnet - a plain text protocol to forward with in
which any government, research/industrial cracker (a hacker is someone who
improves up on a program for the better of it. A cracker is someone who
breaks into things like a safe cracker (-: ) can sniff out your information.
We have a saying here: Locks are only meant to keep honest people honest.
Rather than using telnet forwarding, why not use netrom or
ax.25 level forwarding? Then you don't expose a password in plain text.
Security by obscurity is better than no security whatsoever. You can then
even give yourself perm level of 63 and a BID won't be required until a SID
is sent... to which if it's your LinFBB or OpenBCM it should send a SID upon
connect. :)
