Remember, be kind to your sysop, for he is subtle and quick to anger. :)
I'm curious as to what kind of attack would require running a service

The only thing I can think of would be if he had some automated way to
not only reconfigure every customer's radio, but also to change every
single one of them to different random settings. That's certainly
