If you also set the password, then anyone trying to access can't get in
without it.
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.
