- I'm considering running Waffle under Unix and I've seen how
- Waffle sets up its account and such. I want to know if any
- site or organization has setup Waffle to use the *real* unix
- uid/gid to map onto the waffle bbs user accounts?
-
- For example:
-
- mrmodem:KBU0QI5qikLQk:101:12:Mr. Modem User:/u/mrmodem:/u/waffle/bin/waffle
-
- Ideally this would load up waffle (setuid to waffle) and use the
- real uid of 101 (maps to bbs account "mrmodem"). Of course
- some modification to the source would be necessary. Has anyone
- achieved this?
-
- This "hack" would achieve a few things, first it would allow
- relatively secure shell access, individual system level account
- logging, and a real 'who' list. ;)
