                     Announcing the first annual:
                 Bitreich "HAUNTED HOSTS" Hallowe'en
                    October 31, 2024, 9:00PM CEST               

This Hallowe'en, hosts from around the world open their ports to
festive trick or treaters. Be spooked, scared, or delighted by hosts
haunting their `ssh` connections with a ghoulish `Banner`, cob-webbed
`ChrootDirectory`, or evil `ForceCommand`!

To participate as a host: Announce your intent to participate by
contacting ROYGBYTE on #bitreich-en:irc.bitreich.org before the event
date. Then, prepare your hauntings: make or modify your =sshd= to
include passwordless authentication for =trick= and/or =treat= users;
and, configure your choice of =sshd= options to create a
correspondingly delightful... or frightful... visitor experience!

To participate as a trick or treater: on October 31, 2024, 9:00PM
CEST, connect via `ssh` as `trick` or `treat` user to participating
hosts. Hosts may be using non-standard `sshd` ports, so for full
connection details check the event page!
