   If you want the game server to also serve as a normal BBS (e.g. for Telnet/SSH   
   users), then yeah, you're going to need the user to know their own password.   
   It sounds like you're thinking a user that wanted to use the game server   
   function and the normal BBS function would need two user accounts on your   
   system, one with a tag and the other not (not ideal, but yes, viable).
