    src/sbbs3/userdat.c
    Log Message:
    Better user name/alias validity checking check_name() and check_realname()

    - detect/reject strings with control characters
    - detect/reject strings with non-ASCII character
    (when configured to do so by the sysop)

    Since the newuser.cpp already disallows this illegal input for new user values this likely only really makes a difference for any JS code that uses system.check_name() or system.check_realname() which is probably none.

    Log Message:
    Fix "executing xtrn" node_activity() for multiple-concurrent logons (Guests)

    The name of the external program was pulled from the user record which in this case would always be the last program executed by (any) Guest. Instead, use
    the (slightly more ambiguous) node.aux field for external program being executed by Guest users or upon any failure to read the user record.
