Warning to those who aren't me: this is an unorganized list of things
that might be classified as bugs, improvements, random thoughts or
suggestions. Hopefully it will get cleaned up over time (yeah,
right!).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Telnet protocol should be improved
- Not even RFC 854 compliant
- Option negotiation ignored - should we negotiate anything?
- Others?
- better shadow file support
- what does this mean? i've forgotten.
- syslog?
Daniel E. Singer <des@cs.duke.edu> would like to see it - especially
in regards to --use-libwrap code
- alternate (md5) password encryption support in conserver.passwd
- actually happens if the crypt() call supports it, like under linux
- hpux has bigcrypt() also, which we support, so maybe we're covered
- config file examples for various configurations
- per-line timestamps
- only when not connected?
- pipe input/output (console <-> program) via 'console'
- some apps (net-ups thing, gdb) might need to talk to user
- ^Ec| does this, but the interact with user bits might not work
- autologout? setting per console? gack, would have to interpret data.
- "listen" capability (watch all/multiple consoles)
- send data to multiple consoles (carbon copy) -
Steve Lammert <slammert@panasas.com>
- authentication to terminal servers (ssh, passphrase, whatever)
- ssh should probably just be handled by invoking the ssh command.
so, that's really already covered, no?
- passphrase...hmmm..could really use some sort of send/expect
thing here. you could write a wrapper script of sorts, but it
really would be nice to have a raw socket and do the right thing.
- cyclades ts1000/2000 port : "Moses, Joel" <jmoses@deloitte.com>
- config file for client (list of masters, for example)
- strftime() idea for logfile names : Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars@larsshack.org>
- 9600baud log replay?
- server -M flag should accept multiple addresses (comma separated)
- should client as well?
- automatic log rotation in general : Egan Ford <egan@us.ibm.com>
- website docs on serial port configs
- PCs (solaris x86, linux, *bsd, etc)
- lilo
- bios support
- suggestions by Trevor Fiatal <trevor@seven.com>
- include server hostname on 'console -x' output
- ability to configure strings to be sent to a console periodically :
Greg A. Woods <woods@planix.com>
- show attach/detach events to/of spy console clients : Greg A. Woods
<woods@planix.com>
- redefine client escape sequence in conserver.cf : Toby Gerhart
<toby.gerhart@eds.com>
- send a string when connected to a console, so you can set the
xterm title, for example : Richard Threadgill <richardt@tellme.com>
- allow for very long replays (hundres of lines) : John Stoffel
<stoffel@lucent.com>
