As I understood it, they want to view the log of your bbs which will
show how active it is and to prove that it is legit.  I basically
made the USR account have a privilege high enough to access a file
directory where my monthly logs are archived.  They did log onto
my board, but did not do any snooping.  My DS should arrive this
week.  BTW, if you're a sysop and would like a program that will
automatically archive your bbs log weekly, pick up ARKALOG from me.
See my .sig for info.  I think I have a magic work of ARKALOG.
It is small, simple, PD and has C source included.
