[Coco] Play with NitrOS-9 over the Internet

[Boisy G. Pitre]

Tim,

Well, the current purpose is to let honest folks exercise the system to work out any obvious kinks, and in that respect we've already made progress.  There are still things to add to the driver (like handling S$Interupt and S$Abort signals from the command line), but overall I think it is acting and behaving well.

Making this system bulletproof to someone bent on crashing it is nearly impossible short of replacing the current shell with something a lot more controlling.  Running a BBS is one obvious end-goal to developing something like this, and I'm sure there are other ideas lurking out there.

Use a login name/password using the password file, and change the user number to anything but 0. then change the permissions for public on the commands you do not want them to run to -pe.  They will not be able to execute them but if you log in as user 0, you can.

If a program like megaread gets run, then it really chokes the whole system down, and you will notice significant lag in processing characters.
