No, thats WAMPES whcih takes liberties with /etc/passwd. WAMPES creates
user accounts autmatically on 1st connect. That's supposed to be a
*feature*. As a result I haven't looked at WAMPES in years.

The patches I supplied to the author of TNOS expects a TNOS account
to run under FreeBSD. Went so far as to install the binary as setgid
"dialer" so it could lock its serial port(s). There was a minor thread
a while back on a TNOS list where it was learned that almost none of
the Linux users of TNOS understood why running it as root was bad.  :-(

By default TNOS does expect to live in a /nos directory. That is
changable at compile time, and possibly in autoexec.nos.

Got it! Will take a look.
