There's not much to it.  not sure what you mean by easily make a mess.

You just connect to the port with a client. you also have to do that with 
http, telnet and whatever other services you use.

i'm not sure what you mean by authentication.  just don't use a guest
account and have your bbs setup in a secure manner.
