Does Synchronet actually crash when this happens?  This means another server is already running on the same port (21), so Synchronet can't use that port. This is just an error, and I don't think Synchronet will crash when this happens; it just can't bind to the port.

One way you can check what process is listening on port 21 is with this command:
sudo lsof -i -P -n |grep LISTEN |grep :21

One thing I've noticed is that after shutting down sbbs, it can take a couple minutes for it to fully shut down, so if I try to start sbbs up again too soon, some of the ports might still be in use.
