   Hello All!   
      
   I have been having problems using mbse with Mageia v4 (& v3) since migrating   
   over from Mandriva 2011 in that for any new user (connecting to the system   
   using telnet) having entered username with the system creating the linux and   
   bbs account then requests password the password setup fails with a shadow file   
   busy.  This is not the case as when testing for it via "sudo lsof | grep   
   shadow" produces nothing.   
      
   So the question - would ALL mbse sysops please report here what Distro   
   including version they are using and what mbse version and confirm if that    
   have   
   had new users registering since using along with the date (MM/YY) of last   
   registered user.   
      
   If you have not had anyone since setup please provide your BBS contact details   
   and I will try via telnet, or you can do a test yourself again (using telnet   
   localhost etc) and set up a test user and let me know.   
      
   If others are suffering from the same problem then we need to take a close    
   look   
   at the code that deals with this and fix it!
