      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.                     Jeff                                   --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-3        * Origin: The Ouija Board (1:282/1031)    |
