 DB> Thanks!

A socket send error when trying to start any of the BBS programs usually means 
that the mbtask daemon is not running.  su to root, and run 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed status.  If you receive a message that mbtask is not 
running, start it by running (as root) /etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed start.

If mbtask is in fact already running, it sounds like you may have incorrect 
permissions on some/all of the BBS files.
