 TL> Uploads to the sysop is the middle ground solution. You can always move
 TL> legit files from there to wherever, if someone uploads something useful to
 TL> other users. As for scanning, I have no concerns about the BBS (are there
 TL> any Linux/ARM viruses in the wild?), but having a virus scanner would be
 TL> useful for protecting users, if I was to handle a large number of files.
 TL> Will have to see if ClamAV or similar is available for the Pi. :)

I do have an uploads to sysop feature back now that most of my services are on
my linux machine.. so that maybe one day some inspiring software author may
upload a brand new door that would rival the likes of BRE, LORD, and some of
the other favorites.. would be nice.

 TL> Doing away with uploads is a reasonable policy these days, given that the
 TL> Internet is a much bigger file repository than our BBSs could ever be.
 TL> Just worth keeping around a few harder to get files. :)

So very true..
