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.
