    Set the node action to "XTRN" before running an auto-xtrn-upon-rlogin.

    prextrn.js keys off of the current node action to detect if the user is currently in the logon process. Defeat that check in this case (there is no logon process for auto-xtrn's).

    Log Message:
    Optional random "Sysop is" string replacement during logon

    Set sysop_available and/or sysop_unavailable in the [logon] section of your modopts.ini to a comma-separated list of strings to pick at random and replace the default text.dat LiSysopAvailable and LiSysopNotAvailable strings during logon (displayed as part of the "logon info" block near the end of the hard-coded logon sequence).

    Inspired by the SYSAVAIL.C modification that I used to use with my own
    custom ("INHOUSE") build of Synchronet, this is now available for all sysops
    to replace "Available" or "Not Available" with a random funny/smart phrase of your choosing (but without commas; a separate delimeter could be used if that is a problem).

    Log Message:
    Guest user prompts can be disabled via modopts.ini [logon] settings

    guest_name = false will disable name prompt
    guest_email = false will disable the email address prompt
    guest_location = false will disable the location prompt
    guest_referral = false will disable the "where'd you hear about this BBS" prompt

    Note, at minimum, I do recommend prompting for the guest's email address so that if they send the sysop feedback (e.g. ask a question), they at least have some hope of receiving a reply.

    Log Message:
    Allow text of all guest information prompts to be overridden in modopts.ini

    By setting guest_name, guest_email, guest_location, or guest_referral to any truthy value, a prompt will be display. By setting it to a string (instead of true), that string will be displayed. I'm not sure how I feel about this kind of tri-state setting (true/false/string), but it does reduce the number of settings/options. The alternative is to have a separate boolean and string setting for each prompt (which I first considered).

    So, as of now:

    guest_name = false <- no prompt for Guest's name
    guest_name = "" <- no prompt for Guest's name
    guest_name = true (the default) <- default prompt text for Guest's name guest_name = "Enter your name, dude" <- replaces prompt text for Guest's name

    For enter trailing white-space and ctrl-a codes, use string literals, e.g. guest_name: "\x01hEnter your name, dude: "

    guest_name = "" <- no prompt for Guest's name

    Actually, that's a bad/false example:

    guest_name: "" <- no prompt for Guest's name (gotta use string literal syntax) --
