   Hello All.   
      
   I installed Ubuntu 24.04 in a virtualBox, got it up and running and updated. I   
   followed the wiki for installing SBBS in Linux, went well after MY errors. I   
   have been able to set SBBS up and have tried to run the BBS, but I get this   
   error,

    I have given my "sbbs" user full root permissions. I can't figure out why the   
   telnet gets this error. Anyone have an idea? I did set the environment   
   variable.   
      
   P.S. I am a NEWBE when using Linux.   
      
   Thanks,
