If his goal is to experiment with/learn Baja, then he's achieving that. If the goal is keep bots from tieing up nodes, there's much easier solutions. If the goal is prevent bots from trying to authenticate with a username and password (why?), there's easier solutions (e.g. just prompt for a specific key, like ESC).

Actually letting a bot send a username and password is a good way to detect and auto-block them and that support is built-into SBBS:
