    exec/login.js
    Log Message:
    Restore stealth legacy login prompt (NN:)This old prompt used to be sent for any login scripts (e.g. QWKnetvia dial-up) that would key off that WWIV-like "name or number"(NN:) prompt, but was removed (accidentally?) in commit fedabb0b8f6dfcdc4.Send "NN: " and "PW: " (include the trailing space, just in case), and usecarriage return to move back (and overwrite) rather than 4 backspaces.

    Log Message:
    The bare CR is treated as CRLF on PETSCII, so use Ctrl-A[ insteadWe don't do output translation for PETSCII terminals for CR or LFchars, so this trick is needed, at least currently, for the NN legacy promptto be properly over-written/invisible for CBM/PETSCII terminals.

    Log Message:
    Apply inactive_hangup option (for dumb terminals) using max_socket_inactivitythis insures that inactive dumb (bot) connections will be disconnected evenwhen using a script (e.g. animated pause prompt) that doesn't time-out.Also, if the connected node is the last node (for this sbbs instance), dividethe socket inactivity timeout value in half.These changes (along with sbbs v3.20) should help with DOS (denial-of-service,not MS-DOS) prevention.Mainly for Krueger.

    Enable "use strict" mode in this script - best practiceRequires hex literals for control chars instead of octal(e.g. \x01 instead of \1)All stock scripts should be using strict mode, so this was a miss.

    exec/login.js
    Log Message:
    Only call the re-login support functions if re-logging-in

    These functions were causing enumeration issues with JSDOC builds (before the recent refactor that fixes that enumertion order problem), but
    really these calls should've been conditional anyway.

    Remove the old dumb-terminal inactivity hangup hack

    This feature is now built-into SBBS and doesn't rely on the login module to be executed to reduce the socket inactivity to a (short) reasonable timeout for likely bots.
