   Hello All!   
      
   All is now working (unless some one says otherwise) as I can now log in using   
   ssh -l bbs and ditto telnet -l bbs   
      
   Where existing bbs users can use their login name instead of bbs.   
      
   What was wrong ?   
      
   1. Had to add ssh service along side the telnet one to the mbsebbs file under   
   xinetd.d   
      
   2. Re-install sshd and telnetd but I might well remove the later.   
   3. Testing for the sysop was broke as the signon script was wrong as it was    
   set   
   to the default and this no doubt due to building a new distro version and   
   forgot to amend the /etc/passwd entries for bbs users as mbse set up do not   
   handle it - no quite reasonably - done to the sysop any way.   
      
   Adjusted the system security to allow for the lower level programs that run   
   under mbse to execute for external services namely ssh and telnet without   
   needing MAC details pre-stored - a hack within a hack.  This is for my system   
   which is very non standard because of some installed hardware and software.   
   Not so sure this one was needed but did it any way as it helps improve http    
   and   
   ftp service.   
      
   So more likely than not  nothing to do with the routers (for a change) but I   
   will not bet the farm on this.   
      
   Of course no I will never get bbs visitors going online but such is life.   
   Now back to the getting (later by the day) programming completed some time   
   this quarter along with the documentation.   
      
   Thanks for all that posted about it  as it was a word or two that gave me an   
   indirect hint of where to start looking.
