Since I have a preference that BBBS runs out of the user directory as in
/home/bbbs I installed BBBS to use and install to that directory and 
created the user "bbbs" and told Linux to use the pre-existing bbbs home
directory.

A number of programs default to installing to a /home//  while
others are hard coded to install to a predetermined directory and refuse to
install IF the install directory already exists.
