 Sorry for replying twice, but I jumped the gun and didn't test it out...
Here's my output on syslog when trying to launch SBBS as root with my user and
group on the UNIX section of sbbs.ini :

 Two things : I use /SBBS instead of /sbbs, but all my config files are correct
(I think) and I run FC3, although SELinux is disabled, so I don't think that's
it... Any thoughts? Please? :)

 Oh, and asking Deuce for that script still stands. Do you have his mail?

 Thanks again!
