bnetd is a piracy enabler just like the "SUBST" command in DOS was back in the day.

For you kids out there, SUBST would let you map a directory to a drive letter. Some games that did CD checks (to verify you had the install media) were easily fooled by a copy of the CD's files in a SUBSTed directory.
