When testing and preparing the new system, I ran into the same       problem. And sicne I did not have any content in the system at that time, I       went around that issue by simply deleting the user with userdel -r (actually,         deleted both, the mbse user as well as the bbs group).               However, If you already have custom menus, screens and content in your system       you should (of course) *not* delete the existing user.                       Greetings, Niels Haedecke              --- MBSE BBS v1.0.7.8 (GNU/Linux-ARM)        * Origin: Wintermute BBS (2:240/8002 2:240/1895 75:49/1895) (2:240/8002)    |
