   Why would access be denied?   
      
   Rather than using sudo, consider using setcap instead:

   Most of the default TCP ports that sbbs tries to bind are privileged (i.e. <   
   1024), so I'm not clear why ports 11 and 18 would be special. Maybe they're   
   just already bound to other services?
