This is a version of Socketmud that has been modified to act as a Mud Driver, running LUA. It is not in a finished state, however, I am seeking feedback. It compiles and runs both in linux and cygwin, and requires Lua 5.1.

I've done my best to sandbox the lua environment, but it's still not nearly as secure as I would like. Hopeful future improvements will focus on that, as well as the currently very poor ability to save state from within lua.

V.2:

Corrected the Makefile for a linux environment. Old Makefile copied to Makefile.cygwin. Compiles and runs correctly under redhat (7 and 8), and slackware. Compiles, but does not run correctly under Ubuntu 8.04 (If someone can tell me why, i'll fix it immediatly, otherwise it'll take till i have time to look into it)

Updated /scripts/class.lua to be more secure, and work in a different fashion.

Added user "LordLua", with password "LordLua" with max permissions and a properly set up home directory.

Prevented the use of the name "Core" for a player, for security reasons.
