Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv14283

Modified Files:
	scfgsave.c 
Log Message:
Fix bug reported by WitNik (John):
The msgbase 'status' header created with smb_open_sub() had all its fields
0-filled.
This would cause all kinds of msgbase settings (e.g. max msgs, max age, etc.) to not propagate from their SCFG settings (for mail or sub-boards)
to the newly-created msg base(s).
But most importantly, it would cause the mail base to be created without the
"EMail" attribute flag, causing the msgbase to be treated as a sub-board
(public message area) and users could not then read their received mail.

The root-cause was that smb_open() will zero-out the current smb.status
value before trying to read it from the msgbase header, thus losing any
values that were populated in there before calling smb_open(). Rather than
change the behavior of the ancient smb_open() function, just restore the
correct default smb.status values after calling smb_open() and before
calling smb_create().
