Hi!

I'm new at this, but I'm eager to learn. :)

My questions are :

- How can I run SBBS as non-root? When I try, all I get is this :




!Started as non-root user.  Cannot bind() to ports below 1024.


Even when I have all ports on the sbbs.ini file higher than 1024 (even mail and
pop3, which I believe will screw everything up...)

- How can I have a script to place in /etc/init.d/ to use like /etc/init.d/sbbs
{start|stop|status}? I was told one is available in the install directory, but
I can't find it (no files, just two sub-folders)

- How can I package this as an RPM, meaning which files are strictly necessary?
(I built from CVS, so I'm guessing I have a lot of "cvs garbage" around...

Please help. Thanks!
