    I would like to offer a door(s) for access using rlogin (?rlogin domain:513 -p -P -q -t xtrn=<internal code>). Currently when a new user access the bbs via this method they are presented with the same new user questions as a normal would. For example: hit backspace, mouse support, extended ascii, full name or alias, location, gender, email, forward email, is info correct, where did you hear about bbs, email the sysop, etc.

    Its true much of this can be turned off but doing this also affects new BBS users logging via normal telnet/ssh methods. It would be useful, if its even possible, to separate the new user login experience between the two.

    Eventually the hard-coded new user logic will be replaced/replaceable with a JS module (see issue #563), but as we discussed in email, this should at least work to suppress specific text.dat strings for RLogin connections (only).
