subject: Q Restriction on Web bug?

If a Q restricted user logs into the bbs via telnet, SSH, etc., they are only
shown the QWK menu and if they choose to "quit back to the BBS," the system
immediately logs them off.  The Q-restricted account cannot access any message
areas, or anything else on the system.

If a Q restricted user logs onto the web interface (both the older "runes" or
the newer ecweb), they are able to access message areas and even post using
their QWK ID.

I would call this a "bug" since it is allowing the web interface to act in a
different (and unintended) manner from the terminal interface, but I am also
guessing there is some way that I can add something to an existing INI file to
prevent this behavior?  

Thanks!
