What are the best fido mailers, nodelist compiler's etc. Out there that you
guys
are using with sbbsecho. I know of Binkd. 

Another ? is I'm having trouble figuring out the correct syntax to change
ownership of my /sbbs  

I have read chown man page and it's written honestly above my head. I'm not a
programmer. I know man is my friend. But some of them assume you already know.
I
have to humble myself here. Back in the day when Synchronet first came out. I
ran a Dos system then. And had very little problems. Even ran it under OS/2 and
really loved it. But I want to move on past the windoz era and learn how to
successfully run Synchronet under linux. So if you would be kind enough to help
me get started. I would really appreciate it. I know you guy's get irritated
sometimes by what you consider stupid ?'s. I feel that way when asked ?'s
sometimes in my field of work. So I do understand. My 3 stumbling blocks at
this
point is gaining ownership of /sbbs and what dir on my win system do I need to
move over to the linux box to maintain my user's info etc. Also do you feel the
firewall in my router is secure enough or do i need to setup the mandrake
shorewall fire wall as well? And I'm also sure there are some unsafe services I
could turn off too. But not sure which ones. Enough for now. 

Thank you in advance.

Have a grateful day,

Rick
