   Hello Chad,   
      
   > cadams@irc:/var/opt/bbbs$    
      
   Ok, you installed BBBS to the /var/opt/bbbs directory?  Who owns the    
   /var/opt/bbbs directory? It appears that you are running BBBS as user   
   "irc".  At a command prompt do a "ls -l -d /var/opt/bbbs" to see the  ownership   
    and current permissions of the directory where you have BBBS installed.   
      
   Here everything in /var/opt is owned by root. And here BBBS is run as user bbbs   
    and BBBS is installed at /home/bbbs and a "ls -l -d /home/bbbs" shows:   
      
   drwxr-xr-x 58 bbbs bbbs 20480 Nov 23 23:00 /home/bbbs   
      
   Which shows that /home/bbbs is owned by group "bbbs" and user "bbbs"  and   
   drwxr-xr-x means:   
      
   "d" means the subject is a directory and not a file.   
      
   "rwx" means the directory's owner "bbbs" can list its contents, create new   
   files within it, and descend into it.   
      
   "r-x" means members of the directory's group can list its contents and descend   
   into it   
      
   "r-x" means other users can list the directory's contents and descend into it   
      
   And a ls -l /home/bbbs/bcfg4 shows   
      
   -rwxrwxr-x 1 bbbs bbbs 278528 Dec 13  2016 /home/bbbs/bcfg4   
      
   The first "-" means that it is a file and not a directory.    
      
   "r" means that user "bbbs" has read access   
      
   "w" means that user "bbbs" has write access   
      
   "x" means that user "bbbs" has execute access.
