I expect some experienced RBBS/BYE Sysops to answer you with more sophisticated
responses, but a PD program I was just looking at kind of tickled my fancy.
You say your users can access the password file, so no luck with passwords.
Well, a little utility program called MAKEFCB (think I got it from SIMTEL20,
maybe the SIG/M archives) changes the file name on disk and directory from
upper case to lower case.  CANNOT be listed, typed, transferred, erased --
NUTTIN!  But it CAN be called from within other programs!  So BYE or whatever
could reach it and use it, but those curious ones cannot!

Just a suggestion that might be fruitful.  (An unusual potential fix anyway!)
