   files are automatically created when you *run* (not build) SBBS. Do you have   
   the cryptlib.key file? Note: If you

   I don't have /sbbs/ctrl/ssl.cert even after stopping and restarting SBBS, but   
   I do have /sbbs/ctrl/cryptlib.key.  I get these often in my sbbs logs.   
   7/7 20:13:52 mail Failed to open/read TLS certificate: /sbbs/ctrl/ssl.cert   
      
   Also I'm trying to use letsyncrypt, and trying to generate a new key:   
   /sbbs/exec/jsexec letsyncrypt --new-key   
      
   I see in the logs where Let's Encrypt tries to read into the web server and   
   pull out the file for authenticate, but the file doesn't exist.  I have   
   /sbbs/web/root/.well-known/acme-challenge/ but apparently the js isn't   
   creating the file for Let's Encrypt to find.

   For this the script fails:

   So either route i'm not having much luck getting the certs setup for email.  I   
   even ran chmod 775 on /.well-known/acme-challenge folders which I'm running   
   the jsexec as my sbbs user, owner of the sbbs folder, so I don't think it's a   
   permissions thing.  Thanks for any advise.
