That is more helpful and I am assuming the mbse version is 1.0.7.17 or 18 or 
19
, correct?

OK log in as mbse via terminal prog then do :

ls -la bin/mb*

You should have the same as me but not the same dates :

Note that some are owned by root and the others by mbse.bbs
The owner root has the programs called by the log in sequences or other system
tasks.

There are others you might need to install so here is my full list minus my 
own
specials via ls bin :-

-!-
bbsdoor.sh*
rundoor.sh*
dos2unix*
editor*


gedlnx*
gnlnx*           netstats*
golded@          pktclean*           runvirtual.sh*
                 pktdate*
hatch*           pktview*
                 rar*
                 rarreg.key          unarj*
                 rar_static*         unrar*
                 rddtlnx*            unzip*
                 rm@                 zoo*

The editor Golded executables are there along with various archivers and other
utils (starting with pkt etc).

Check that you have the first block as installed by the mbse installer.
The second block have to be installed depending on your system but I recommend
all of the archivers (rar is registered so I have more files).
