Hi Brian
Currently a bug in linfbb
as using the gateway is not using the user callsign. It is using the FBB
NNS callsign in error. Working correctly when gatewaying via pactor.
The Gateway facility allows the user to connect out on to the local
netrom, Radio ports if the radio ports configured in the fbb port.sys.
Been used that way for years, Here.
Has recently been raised on the Linfbb list

What Rob was saying, however, is that many run both FBB
and JNOS
together. If you were running FBB with the gateway feature on so that
say I could use it to get from your FBB to your JNOS, I would appear at
your JNOS as YOU not as ME. So, if I connected into your JNOS, I would
(via your callsign) have the sysop flag set, and if I had any possible
clue what your password may be I could try that and gain full access to
your box.
The "gateway" feature in FBB is something the sysop can flag on|off on
FBB. I believe the initial design of this feature was for the sysop to
manually test his/her forwarding script before etching the path into
stone.
