Hi. I've created a tool similar to the one on eldorado.elsewhere.org where you can login and play if games. In the one I created however you can choose from inform and tads games. So this is not just limited to infocom style games only. One thing however and this is a matter of security. I'd like some opinions in case I've left a gaping hole since the account has no password. I set the login shell to the shell that does the actual game menu creation. I've tested it so that any time when you press control-c the telnet session closes. What else should I be looking for? anyways of setting it up this way that the user can drop out of the games and into an $ prompt? Thanks. -- Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. Enjoy that gift, that's why it's called the present. Raul A. Gallegos http://www.asmodean.net/contact.html
