If you are planning on running an open shell account server. I would look up joining the tildeverse as a member server.
When I read "open shell account server" I thought this meant anyone can get access programmatically. This sounded like a disaster.
But turns out, at least with the respect to this NetBSD specific offer, you have to send out an application.
Yeah a shell account is a standard term for getting a terminal access in a shared system going all the way back to mainframes.
Most universities at least in the US had a thing called a Sunsite that came with shell access sometimes.
