   that should not work

   xinetd proxy   
      
   then bind bbbs to highports only, so xinetd proxy low ports to highports, i   
   did this when i did not have ipv6 at home :)

   add 10000+portnum, and then in xinetd proxy native ports to the bbbs binded   
   ports   
      
   port 24554 does not need xinetd

   yes if bbbs is not owned by root or even running as root there is no   
   requirement to use root anywhere or even uid mapping

    AI> bbbsd is a listener. You can run bbbs to poll other nodes like this..   
      
    AI> ./bbbs 1 1 tcpip   
      
    AI> Or like this to log on locally..
