 Problem starting bbbsd

Hi Chad,

Without more detail your issue seems to point to the impossibility to bind any
process less than 1024 with a non-root user.

Try to start telnet using a port over 1024 and let us know.

If bbbsd starts, then you can check Serverfault[1], or do some search on [the
web search engine of your preference].

t-root-access

Anyway, good luck!

A reveure!!
