Hello Aaron,

AT> I'm trying to run bbbsd on Ubuntu with this syntax:

AT> sudo ./bbbsd 1 1 telnet:23 httpd:80

AT> But then BBBSD says this:

AT> "Can't bind to socket. Is service already running? Using ports below
AT> 1024 require root access, see uid: paramenter"

AT> It works fine if I just run it on port 23 for telnet like this:

AT> sudo ./bbbsd 1 1 telnet:23

AT> But of course I want to listen for http connections too.

AT> Any tips?

I always ran bbbsd like this..

sudo ./bbbsd 1 1 ftpd:21 telnetd:23 httpd:80 rawd:24554:binkp quiet fork uid:alan

There are other parameters you can use too, use the uid: of the user the BBS is running as. Adjust as needed.

It's been a while since I ran the SW version. I'm not sure how a command like that will work in the SW version but have a try and see.

bbbsd is a listener. You can run bbbs to poll other nodes like this..

./bbbs 1 1 tcpip

Or like this to log on locally..

./bbbs 0

Ttyl :-),
