Add '-h' option to send a salted and hashed password to the server
Like the -p option, except the server won't get a copy of the client BBS user's password or be able to decode it. The user's password, user number and account creation date are used to generate the password hash (along with the salt), so changing any of these will change the resulting hashed password sent (and presumably logged/stored) on the server. The resulting SHA-1 hash is sent as 40 hexadecimal digits. The default salt is the system's QWK-ID, but the sysop can specify their own salt (e.g. random number or secret passphrase) via the "salt" key in the [rlogin] section of modopts.ini or root section of ctrl/modopts/rlogin.ini
