   Problem starting bbbsd

   Hello Chad,   
      
   > I tried starting the telnet server by:   
   > ./bbbsd 1 1 Telnet's:23   
      
   Do you mean "./bbbsd 1 1  telnetd:23" ?   
      
   > It says could not bind   
   > There is nothing running on port 23.

   bbbsd loaded as user can't bind to ports less than 1024. I load bbbsd as root   
   at bootup which allows bbbsd to bind to the necessary ports. bbbsd  will  load   
   as root but switch to run as user.   
      
   The command line I use to load BBBS here is:   
      
   ./bbbsd 3 22 telnetd:23 httpd:8080 ftpd:21 rawd:24554:binkp "quiet" "fork"   
   "uid:bbbs" &   
      
   Note: All on one line.
