-<P>The <EM>startup</EM> script is executed immediately after all
-initialisation of the node is done, but before any connections are

-<P>The <EM>user_default</EM> script is executed for every user that does
-<B>NOT</B> already have a specific script.

-<P>The <EM>node_default</EM> script is executed for every node that doesn't

+<P>As usual, any text behind a # is treated as a comment and not read. To use
+this file, simply rename it from startup.issue to startup. In our example
+above there are three options. The first option is the amount of spots that
+a user can request with the <EM>sh/dx</EM> command. Normally the default is
+to give 10 spots unless the user specifies more. Without this line enabled,
+the maximum a user can request is 100 spots. Depending on your link quality
+you may wish to enable more or less by specifying the number.</P>

+<P>The other 2 options are dealt with more fully in the security section.</P>

+<P>Secondly, it is used to store the login scripts for users and nodes. Currently
+this can only be done by the sysop but it is envisaged that eventually users will
+be able to set their own. An example is included in the distibution but here is
+a further example.</P>
