Using UUCP under a BBS system???

I don't understand this aversion to giving BBS users UNIX ids. You can
make the BBS program their login shell and have all the advantages of
a secure environment, and you won't have to do any special gyrations
to get mail working.

Sure, there are a handful of interactive programs you have to hack, but
there are more free mailers/editors/pagers that you can hack the way you
like than you can shake a stick at.

Really, what's the problem?
