Why? Thats a good way to lose callers.

It's because I missed that the ephemeral port range on my Linux distro is 32768-60999, so any "custom" ports not covered by /etc/services should be outside that range. (Although of course /etc/services could be edited or the ephemeral port range changed, but I opted for a move instead and to leave the OS defaults unchanged.)
What I think he's getting at is that those aren't custom
protocols/ports. If I'm connecting by telnet or SSH to some box (e.g., your BBS), then I expect that they'll be on ports 23 and 22. If they're
Many BBSes do use custom port numbers for different connection methods because the conventional ports are used for the machine itself and not for the BBS (although perhaps mostly a problem for SSH).
Yes, but most of us don’t inflict that pain onto our users. Telnet to a host should be disabled in almost every case. SSH can be reconfigured to a
Yes, you'd think telnet should be disabled in favor of SSH, but from what I've heard, it seems most users are probably going to use telnet to connect to a BBS anyway. Disabling telnet and only allowing SSH connections would probably reduce the number of callers you get to your BBS. I've seen some people say that BBS stuff isn't that important and they don't really care that their connection is unencrypted.

Just a short notice to inform you that the Telnet and SSH ports (and some other ports) have changed for Star Collision BBS today, in case some of you would happen to have the BBS in your phone books. :-D
