+1

that should not work

xinetd proxy

then bind bbbs to highports only, so xinetd proxy low ports to highports, i
did this when i did not have ipv6 at home :)

 AI> I always ran bbbsd like this..

 AI> sudo ./bbbsd 1 1 ftpd:21 telnetd:23 httpd:80 rawd:24554:binkp quiet 
 AI> fork uid:alan

add 10000+portnum, and then in xinetd proxy native ports to the bbbs binded
ports

port 24554 does not need xinetd

yes if bbbs is not owned by root or even running as root there is no
requirement to use root anywhere or even uid mapping

 AI> bbbsd is a listener. You can run bbbs to poll other nodes like this..

 AI> ./bbbs 1 1 tcpip

 AI> Or like this to log on locally..

 AI> ./bbbs 0

its greak to me :-)

back to my ASUS BN50 at home
