Is there a particular reason that when connecting to the Remote Admin Console that the user isn't prompted for their username and password?
I'm looking into adding this functionality because I think a simple Username:/Password: prompt would be much more user-friendly than being greeted with the MOTD and then staring at a blinking cursor. It took me a fair amount of searching to find that to log in I needed to enter USER <USERNAME>, then PASS <PASSWORD>, then I'd finally be given the mangos> prompt.
In that searching I came across this thread:
Which talks about using the remote console for that application.
I've already hacked together some code that works for me, but before I submit a patch I'd like to know if I need to maintain some backwards compatibility for applications such as the one above, or if there's just a very good reason that I'm unaware of as to why things are the way they are.
