[xfbb] Password questions

[Marco Calistri]

I'm answering to myself infact I found a simple solution that works ok:

1) I removed all /etc/ax25/fbb/passwd.sys entries
2) I wrote con_filt.psw as Read-Only with mycall and flag 0 (no password)
3) I wrote 2 scripts:bbslogin and bbslogout (to enter FBB from console)
4) bbslogin writes the words "password" and "CALL,RIGHTS,PASSWORD"
   into passwd.sys then starts xfbbC
5) bbslogout cleans /etc/ax25/fbb/passwd.sys from all entries

On this way nobody can use sysop commands unless they are entered locally with
bbslogin;telnet forward runs correctly.
