i'm not quite as fond of how ssh handles the login for a bbs. apparently the
next syncterm also includes a username/passwordless ssh login so bbses that
ignore incorrect login info can just go about their business (user won't need
to know to put in bbs/bbs, or even that they might need to put in a bs
password to create an account over ssh instead) so i'm sure that'll be a plus
too.

not really a huge deal by any stretch. but i'm not hurting for cpu cycles ;)
