Uh, where to you get that?  I run my BBS SSH on port 2222, not plain 22.  I have port 22 access from inside my network for admin purposes, but BBS users cannot log into the system on port 22 even if they are local to my network.

BBS is behind a powerful firewall (not cheap wifi router or cable modem, i run a dedicated pfSense router) with appropriate security and NAT redirection for the relevant ports.

Furthermore, if it were true that the SSH connection were granting access to the base OS, it would also be true of Telnet.

Please educate me if I'm wrong.  I sure can't log in as any BBS user over regular SSH into the server.
