   Yes a I know and special for Gentoo users is there a little correction in a   
   scripts file in mbsebbs-1.0.01/script/init.gentoo   
   the line for PATH can be made to have:   
   PATH=${PATH}:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:${MBSE_ROOT}/bin   
      
   What there stand now in the line is:   
   PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:${MBSE_ROOT}/bin   
   by adding a ${PATH} right after the = sign will work for Gentoo users.   
   I have tried out on a installation of mbsebbs-1.0.01.   
      
   Btw: I have send you a email and a netmail to you is too on way to by Janis.   
      
      
     Take care,
