Hi George.
> _Please_ do not tell me you are running the MUD as root...
May be interesting to add this to main() function of CircleMUD:
#ifdef CIRCLE_UNIX
if (!getuid()) {
fprintf(stderr, "Please, *DO*NOT* run CircleMUD as root! Someone may
get hurt!\r\n");
exit(1);
}
#endif
This will encourage newbie coders to learn more about the OS before
running CircleMUD.
This idea may be enhanced by adding a touch(KILLSCRIPT_FILE), and an
entry to the running.doc file explaining this.
