   I don't see any security problems posed by offering a guest account, assuming   
   that you can disallow that account from relaying email through your system,   
   etc.  However, any security concerns would depend on the BBS software in   
   question - what limits I can impose on guest accounts on my system may not be   
   available to sysops running other BBS packages (though I think this is   
   unlikely.)

   That's what it's all about for me - just knowing who's visited, where they're   
   from, light details like that.  Communication with distant parties was my main   
   source of attraction to BBSes in the first place, and it remains so.
