      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:129/215 3584a2f9       REPLY: 1:153/7083 8581b76c       TZUTC: -0500        EW> I'd like to confirm that it is indeed true that something happens,        EW> and the following error appears as I get booted to the prompt.        EW>         EW> 2021.19.11 13:27:30 MYSTIC 001 Cannot write to /mystic/data/chat1.dat.        EW> Code=2, PID=23556              Well this is a start at least! A47 has better logging as you can see which       can't hurt as we get this sorted out! :)              It looks like that file is getting removed somehow like you said which is what       Code=2 means. Typically things like this end up being either a bug or       permissions related when it comes to the Linux version. In this case no one       else has reported anything like this that I know of, so lets start with       permissions.               EW> -rwxr-xr-x 1 bbs users 131 Nov 19 13:03 chat1.dat*              It looks like you are running the BBS as user bbs in the group users, so I       would say first thing to try is: Shut everything down and do a chown to make       sure the user has permissions for everything:              sudo chown -R users:bbs /mystic              Now log in as the BBS user and see if the problem goes away. If that doesn't       work you could also try to do a local login as an admin to see if the problem       still happens:              sudo ./mystic -l              If the problem goes away when you login as a super user then its probably       permissions. If you do the super user admin it might be a good idea to do       another chown afterwards just to be safe/make sure everything is owned by       the bbs user.              If any of this helps or not let me know and then we can try to figure out what       we can look into next.              Thanks!              ...
