   Hello Aaron,   
      
    AT> I'm trying to run bbbsd on Ubuntu with this syntax:   
      
    AT> sudo ./bbbsd 1 1 telnet:23 httpd:80   
      
    AT> But then BBBSD says this:   
      
    AT> "Can't bind to socket. Is service already running? Using ports below   
    AT> 1024 require root access, see uid: paramenter"   
      
    AT> It works fine if I just run it on port 23 for telnet like this:   
      
    AT> sudo ./bbbsd 1 1 telnet:23   
      
    AT> But of course I want to listen for http connections too.   
      
    AT> Any tips?   
      
   I always ran bbbsd like this..   
      
   sudo ./bbbsd 1 1 ftpd:21 telnetd:23 httpd:80 rawd:24554:binkp quiet fork   
   uid:alan   
      
   There are other parameters you can use too, use the uid: of the user the BBS   
   is running as. Adjust as needed.   
      
   It's been a while since I ran the SW version. I'm not sure how a command like   
   that will work in the SW version but have a try and see.   
      
   bbbsd is a listener. You can run bbbs to poll other nodes like this..   
      
   ./bbbs 1 1 tcpip   
      
   Or like this to log on locally..   
      
   ./bbbs 0
