OK I fixed it kind sir, sorry for my reply so late.

I had to give security level 0 more than 0 minutes a day.

10 minutes seems fine, I bet it could even be 1 minute with 'suspend time' or
'free time' options if you did not want the front program to disconnect an
idle user.

I'm going to drag this out a little, to refresh.
It's something others may want to know?

It is not a door, it's a regular freebsd binary from the ports tree
somewhere. This, and desperate lack of knowhow, led me to experiment
with every way to EXEC or call an executable. Had it right the first time.

Also tried that option with yes/no, security level 0 stats seem to take
precedence over all of this. Or other scfg settings.

The program is being called, it worked, it would just instantly hangup.
Fine now.

Also, I have no guest account enabled on my BBS. I don't know if this
would have been a problem in the first place, if I had a guest account..?

Oh and yes coincidentally, I noticed some of the CVS submittals and work
being done since my original post, tighter door handling, and the birth of
an @EXEC_XTRN@ code. That is excellent.

Thank you again for your time, and all your guys'Z latest efforts, they're
showing and being used right away.
