   Yes, you load it as root then switch to user bbbs with the command line given.   
      
   >but then run as "User". Well, I guess I didn't ask a question but  wondered if

   Seems right to me :)  As root I run this script below.   
      
   #/bin/sh   
   cd /home/bbbs   
   #   
   ./bbbsd 4 15 telnetd:23 httpd:8080 ftpd:60721 rawd:24555:binkp "quiet" "fork"   
   "uid:"bbs &   
      
   Take care,
