That does work except it should be telnetd:23. bbbsd listens itself to the ports given.

I suppose that could work but I have never used inet.d or xinetd with bbbsd.

These days I use setcap to give bbbsd access to the lower ports so I don't need to start it as root or use sudo.

Yes, I need to shut down my bbbsd and pollers to add a few areas that were added recently but I have been reluctant to do that because I need to remember the paramaters to restart them. ;)
