Hello Chad,

> cadams@irc:/var/opt/bbbs$

Ok, you installed BBBS to the /var/opt/bbbs directory?  Who owns the
/var/opt/bbbs directory? It appears that you are running BBBS as user
"irc".  At a command prompt do a "ls -l -d /var/opt/bbbs" to see the  ownership
and current permissions of the directory where you have BBBS installed.

Here everything in /var/opt is owned by root. And here BBBS is run as user bbbs
and BBBS is installed at /home/bbbs and a "ls -l -d /home/bbbs" shows:

drwxr-xr-x 58 bbbs bbbs 20480 Nov 23 23:00 /home/bbbs

Which shows that /home/bbbs is owned by group "bbbs" and user "bbbs"  and
drwxr-xr-x means:

"d" means the subject is a directory and not a file.

"rwx" means the directory's owner "bbbs" can list its contents, create new
files within it, and descend into it.

"r-x" means members of the directory's group can list its contents and descend
into it

"r-x" means other users can list the directory's contents and descend into it

And a ls -l /home/bbbs/bcfg4 shows

-rwxrwxr-x 1 bbbs bbbs 278528 Dec 13  2016 /home/bbbs/bcfg4

The first "-" means that it is a file and not a directory.

"r" means that user "bbbs" has read access

"w" means that user "bbbs" has write access

"x" means that user "bbbs" has execute access.
