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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Singular logging so that swatch/logsurfer can watch for errors across
the board - unloved output comes close
- Telnet protocol should be improved
- Not even RFC 854 compliant
- Data sent to terminal server not encapsulated
- Option negotiation ignored - should we negotiate anything?
- Others?
- reread of conserver.cf - totally difficult
- non-dynamic memory allocation
- no IPC for coordinated updates
- additions only may work
- deletions only may work
- reimplement the whole thing *would* work
- better shadow file support
- PAM support
- 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
- config file examples for various configurations
- per-line timestamps
- only when not connected?
- flow control configuration (hardcoded on, i think)
- pipe input/output (console <-> program) via 'console'
- group permissions (better user management in general)
- 64-bit compilation support (have a patch set contributed, somewhere, i think)
- autologout? setting per console? gack, would have to interpret data.
- "listen" capability (watch all/multiple consoles)
- alternate break (^ecl2) sends 'CR-~-^B' sequence (solaris 8 default)
- probably should be able to redefine it like the escape sequence
- to support older alt-break code it would need .5 second delays
- ^ecl1 should really just "do the right thing" based on config file
- aliases for console entries
- authentication to terminal servers (ssh, passphrase, whatever)
- "not" or "except" in passwd file (!console).
- multi-homed/multi-ip hosts not supported well
- other names/ip addrs not detected as local, necessarily
- acls don't look at aliases properly
- the whole thing needs some serious help
- cyclades ts1000/2000 port : "Moses, Joel" <jmoses@deloitte.com>
- dynamic memory allocation
- buf[BUFSIZ] in conserver/group.c CheckPasswd().
- kill --with-maxgrp
- config file for client (list of masters, for example)
- strftime() idea for logfile names : Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars@larsshack.org>
- 9600baud log replay?
- SSH/SSL/Encryption of some type between client/server
- server -M flag should accept multiple addresses (comma separated)
- should client as well?
- logfile rotation based on size
- 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
- non-interactively be able to
- disconnect a single user-to-port session
- disconnect all sessions to a given port
- disconnect all sessions registered to a particular user
- non-interactively be able to send messages to
- all sessions open by a particular user
console -t user "Time to go home."
- a particular user-session
console -t user@managed-host "Please disconnect from this host."
- all users on a given host
console -t @managed-host "I am taking over this host."
- support 2 stop bits (as well as other stty-type options in console
definitions) : Kelly Setzer <setzer@placemark.com>
- try to reopen downed console (from loss of carrier, maybe other
things) once instead of leaving it down.
