minor suggestions for improvement about wetty HOT 5 CLOSED

Added options --sshuser and --sshport in the latest commit. Can you check if it works fine for you?

Wow, fast response.

Hi, the sshport works. But the sshuser is not quite what I wanted. With the way the code works, I believe it is still hardcoded at startup. I would like to support different users after the server have started.

But thanks for the sshport commit!

You don't want to run it as root? If you run app.js as root it will spawn /bin/login and it will let you choose username.

I don't normally like to run webapps as root. Granted, this may just be paranoia on my part. Also, I may not always have root access. As an example, I am running this on a dev box and the administrator has only granted me the ability to run wetty via nginx port forwarding.

Anyway, running as root and using /bin/login does work...So, if this is too much trouble, please close the bug and I can continue to use the perl script I have pasted in earlier.

Thanks!
