   There's not much to it.  not sure what you mean by easily make a mess.   
      
   You just connect to the port with a client. you also have to do that with    
   http, telnet and whatever other services you use.   
      
   i'm not sure what you mean by authentication.  just don't use a guest   
   account and have your bbs setup in a secure manner.
