Hello Michiel,

I have noticed a few times that when a new user logs in and does
the new user thing, their user name is added to /etc/passwd but
there is no account created for them in the BBS.

Looks like the last time that happened there was a carrier drop.

Might be a good idea when creating new user accounts to create
the entry in /etc/passwd and the account on the BBS at the same
time.

 Ttyl :-),
         Al

... A perversion of nature....how exciting!
