      Hello Nicholas!              11 Jan 17 21:43, you wrote to me:               NB> Also, just wondering..

It needs to be able to create        user accounts, change passwords, etc. During the SETUP.sh process, it needs        to modify /etc/services, /etc/inetd.conf and/or /etc/xinetd.conf, etc. The        tests in SETUP.sh help determine the proper steps to ensure that the BBS works        without disrupting any other operations on the system.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20161221        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
