Like Mark already said, you can get host, but not login id. You
could try identd, but most sites aren't running it, so it doesn4t
help very much.

I have never seen this before, but I can test it if I can 
reproduce it.

The display code is probably the hardest part. If something like this is 
implemented I would like see also the moving light sources if those
can be implemented efficiently.

Have you checked chest2 or deposit_box archetypes? Those are used in
a new bow shop (behind the gate). It just what you want. I already
made bank map where players can save their money, but never send it to
Mark (not enought testing). I try finish it before next version 
(hopefully :).
