   It was wrong why the names is actually ebegin and eend for those 2 line there   
   gives the error, and normal is the installing works for me, but trying to   
   first use a older stable version of 0.92.0 that i got hand of from the   
   download page, give error by ./configure and make.   
      
   The way I normal do it is first as root download the mbsebbs-*.tar.bz2 and   
   this time give me the latest mercandian version.   
   then I run as root /tmp   
   tar xfvj mbebbs-*.tar.bz2   
   sh ./SETUP.sh   
   When root job here is done and look fine done, I change to another tty console   
   and login as mbse user.   
   but after this have I copied from /root/tmp/ mbsebbs-*.tar.bz2 to /opt/mbse/   
   and the one in /opt/mbse/ been change of permission and owner and group to be   
   mbse.bbs   
      
   Then login as mbse.bbs   
   tar xfvj /opt/mbse/mbsebbs-*.tar.bz2   
   cd ~/mbsebbs-(version)   
   ./configure   
   make   
   su (to root) + root pwd   
   make install   
   checking all is done.   
   seing that from make install that mbsebbs shoud be installed in runlevel.   
   exit   
   back to mbse user login   
      
   logout af mbse and go to first login console there is root.   
   test the runs for mbsebbs   
   /etc/init.d/mbsebbs restart   
   And it is here come the 2 errors of ebegin and eend ind /etc/init.d/mbsebbs,   
   and mbsebbs is not been started of the errors.   
      
   The file in xinetd.d is too missing. This have I no self made out from the 2   
   other pc's there running mbse.   
      
   When I can get this installation to work with start up right, will I use mc to   
   copy some files for mbse setup and data files from my ftp file harddisk (   
   those is copied for another working mbse there is a working install ) to the   
   new 64bit install and then run in directory /mbsebbs-0.95.12 make and su to   
   root + make install, it will update the old version 0.95.6 to lates version.   
      
     Take care,   
               Gert
