    Log Message:
    Check for and warn about passwords that match user's name, alias, or handle

    This shouldn't be possible during new user sign-up, but there have been ways
    to curtail checks and generate user accounts with login names and passwords that are the same sequence of characters, unfortunately.

    Perform a Synchronet version check and warn if it's not equal to the latest

    ... so yeah, most *nix sysops will get a warning about running something newer than the latest release.
