    Log Message:
    This "!CLIENT IP NOT LIST in /path/to/rlogin.cfg" message is weird

    This message can be logged when a sysop is prompted for the system password and enters it incorrectly or just disconnects.

    So lower the log level to DEBUG. And include the IP address that we searched for too.

    Log Message:
    Manual terminal settings were cleared when logging in via SSH or RLogin

    This appears to go back to a change Deuce made in 2004 (rev 1.41) where ANSI, COLOR, RIP and WIP user terminal settings were always cleared when logging in via RLogin.

    I happened to notice that manually enabling iCE color support wasn't working when logging in via RLogin (the iCE color flag would be cleared every login, but worked fine when logging in via Telnet). Upon investigation, I found that *all* user's manual terminal settings were cleared for either RLogin or SSH logins (copy/pasted bug). So... stop doing that. The method of dynamic terminal capability detection/checking has changed since 2004, so we should not need to mess with the user's misc flags.

    Log Message:
    Change ANSI-color to black on black to obscure garbage in term-detect sequence

    Pretty up the initial connection for non UTF-8 ANSI terminals, at least.

    Also removed what looks like an extraneous underscore after the return to normal ANSI attribute (CSI 0m) sequence - I'm not sure. It's been there since Synchronet v2 so it's possible that some terminal needed it for some reason
    but that reason has been lost to time (maybe WIP/DCTerm detection?).

    Fixes issue #996

    Log Message:
    Fix potential deadlock in specific case

    If the telnet client sends an IP address as a Location, and that
    IP address is in a filter file, the input thread mutex would not
    be unlocked.

    This oddball feature was suggested on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/synchronet/comments/khuyey/ftelnetwebsocketservicejs/

    And implemented in Synchronet here: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/2bbe824c0656176d0314f2d48558b322a69b9e32

    It appears that it's been broken the whole time.

    Found by some LLM (ChatGPT?) and reported by nelgin.
