On 23/05/97 at 10:45 PM, Ling &lt;K.L.Lo-94#student,lut.ac.uk&gt; said: &gt;How
would I:

&gt;Allow creators to use vi/emacs/pico from inside the mud without
&gt;violating the security?

My own preference is not to allow this in the first place.  I do have
a very basic editor built into the system, but it has all the
complexity of a full screen EDLIN.  After that I operate on a
check-out/check-in model  I provide the item they wish as an FTP'ed
text blob, the them edit how they wish, and then auto-check it back in
upon FTP receive.  (

&gt;Same again but for commands like ls, grep, etc, so the root of the
&gt;directory is the mud library directory?

You're talking ssh, Kereboros wrapped rsh, or similar then if youwant
any decent security.

&gt;Pointers welcomed.

MUD++ has made several strides in this area tho I have not followed
them in detail.
