nope, anyone could do it. A surprisingly large amount of people's workstations or dev boxes were open to the net, or at least passed finger and a number of others. '98 was on the waning edge of that but for years it was common practice for people to use plan files as a blog like platform. Much different security environment (and everyone had a ton of IP4)
