   I run Synchronet and not MBSE. I have checked it out on numerous occasions    
   for the front-end mailer, but that is another story.   
      
   If I am correct, the line above means that you are running the program as a    
   user that has not been added as a valid SUperUser. If you were to run it as    
   root (often not a good idea), the error should not appear.

   Again, if I am correct, you can find an introduction to sudo, or "super    
   user do" or "substitute user do". If I understand it correctly, it is a    
   user trying to run a program that requires the super user (root) or the    
   permissions of the file(s) being run are owned by root or another incorrect    
   user.   
      
   chown user.group /path/to/file/filename or   
   chown user.group -R /path/to/file   
      
   The "-R' means recursive, or everything in the specified directory,    
   including subdirectories.    
      
   Long story short, I have no idea what error 7 is and I had little luck on    
   Google.   
      
   Hope school is going well.   
      
      
   Happy Easter!
