That's actually a dumb script, but it does some important things like adding
example telnet lines to your inetd.conf and adding FTN mailer support to your
/etc/services file.
It sounds like that script needs updating for newer versions of Ubuntu.
MBSE is definately worth a look though, a very tough FTN mailer and tosser for
mail and files.. and a nice BBS too.. :)
