[mosh-users] Mosh support for direct login to weird shell

Hi there,

I have an old BBS program that allows ssh login by means of simply
executing it as the user's shell; this presents problems for mosh users.

I'm wondering how to work around it.

Best: mosh users connect to the same user at domain.com as everyone else

Good: mosh users connect to a different user2 at domain.com, mosh starts
      up, then they immediately must execute the BBS shell with no
      chance to 'escape' (eg, run a real shell)

Any other possibilities?

Ways to run certain programs (eg mosh-server) and *then* weird shells or
a set program that (in general) doesn't allow the user to escape to a
real shell?

Thanks much,
-Gordon M.
