|    Problem starting bbbsd    |
|    29 Nov 17 11:50:46    |
      Hi Chad,              > I tried starting the telnet server by:       > ./bbbsd 1 1 Telnet's:23       > It says could not bind       > There is nothing running on port 23.       > Am I doing something wrong?              Without more detail your issue seems to point to the impossibility to bind any       process less than 1024 with a non-root user.              Try to start telnet using a port over 1024 and let us know.              If bbbsd starts, then you can check Serverfault[1], or do some search on [the       web search engine of your preference].              [1]https://serverfault.com/questions/268099/bind-to-ports-less-than-1024-withou       t-root-access              Anyway, good luck!              A reveure!!       Enric              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: * BCG-Box, On The Air Since 11th February 1987! * (2:222/2)    |
