the problem is the linux mentality... they don't see a bbs or remote logon
as needing any type of visual status screen or ability to "spy"
on what the users are doing... those two things, at least, are just the top
of the iceberg... they expect a daemon that has no need for visual output
and (may?) only write messages to a log... they've never been exposed to
the things that we old DOS BBS operators have been... things like used
trying all kinds of stuff to find "hidden" or broken commands...
myself, i appreciate the ability to spy on a user because if he has found a
way to the command prompt and is outside the BBS software and into the
system proper, i want to know about it and terminate the connection...
