Cool! ;)
I'm just wondering if a new user can register using ssh or not.
That's where an "unauthenticated" login (using predefined un/pw like 

"mystic/mystic" or "bbs/bbs") would be useful.

I think it would be a good idea if the unauthenticated ssh login still works 

afterwards. So users would not be forced to change their credentials to 

connect, which can be a hurdle to them. But instead, using their credentials 

would be a feature to accelerate the login, like IEMSI does.

My BBS works on the Internet since 2004 and I never opened the telnet port, 

but only ssh. This is already a barrier for users to connect. That's why I'm 

concerned to simplify the user's experience. It is much easier to use 

something like ssh://bbs@mybbs.com:22 to advertise the BBS than 

ssh://:@mybbs.com:22, don't you think? :)

Regards,
Ioram
