Since I am wrong, *buntu packages use the init.d as you list v. inetd to 
automagically start binkd

You can see the reply about its operation to Alan Ianson......

I can already see a problem with this as to get binkd to anything it needs to 
run via sudo which portends to bigger issues latter with PKT's etc...

In *buntu land it seems this is run under ftn:ftn...I went back and changed 
some stuff like /var/log/binkd to ftn:ftn as it was root I will have to check 
on some others probably too....


But I am thnking that crashmail is going to need to run under ftn:ftn too or 
the permissions are going to be whacked for the various files and 
PKT's....hmmmmm....but I first got to get it to create PKTS! URRRGH!
