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,              bbs@ubuntu-VirtualBox:/home/ubuntu$ /sbbs/exec/sbbs              Synchronet Console for Linux-x64 Version 3.21a Copyright 2025 Rob Swindell       !SBBSCTRL environment variable not set, using default value: /sbbs/ctrl       Reading /sbbs/ctrl/sbbs.ini       Loading configuration files from /sbbs/ctrl       !ERROR 13 (Permission denied) creating/opening sbbs.pid       !Started as non-root user (id 1001): May fail to bind TCP/UDP ports below 1024       7/1 21:05:31 term Synchronet Terminal Server Version 3.21a       7/1 21:05:31 term Compiled master/4518ad3ff Jun 25 2025 17:43 with GCC 13.3.0       7/1 21:05:31 term Initializing on Tue Jul 1 21:05:31 2025 with options: 2       7/1 21:05:31 term Loading configuration files from /sbbs/ctrl       7/1 21:05:31 term Verifying/creating data directories       7/1 21:05:31 term Verifying/creating node directories       7/1 21:05:31 term Telnet Server listening on socket 0.0.0.0 port 23       7/1 21:05:31 term Telnet Server listening on socket :: port 23       7/1 21:06:00 term !Telnet Server ERROR -9 calling getaddrinfo() on ::       [Threads: 3 Sockets: 1 Clients: 0 Served: 0 Errors: 1] (?=Help): q               I have given my "sbbs" user full root permissions.
