   Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian; Slackware's only relation to either is that    
   they are both GNU/Linux distributions.

   I would think if he was missing libraries, there would have been an error    
   while building the BBS.

   The issue I was having occurred with an othernet nodelist, but I noted that    
   overriding the node's flags also results in the (null) url field.

   I am thinking the issue is the code in nodelist.c starting at line 921 which    
   builds the connection URL.  I need to trace it through processing a few    
   nodelist entries to figure out where the problem is starting.

   Yep.
