Has anyone had any success getting ifcico to work with their synchronet BBS
under linux?

I have it installed and it will answer calls.  However, no mail is transferred
because when ifcico is invoked by an inbound call, it is invoked as user 'ftn,'
while the mail is written out by sbbsecho under the bbs user account.  

I tried setting the ftn and bbs users up so they have access to each other's
user group.  However, both sbbsecho and ifcico appear to write files out with
"600" access (read-write by user, no access for user's group).  The result is
that neither program can still read (or delete) files written by the other.

With outbound calls, ifcico is invoked by the bbs user and works.  I was trying
to figure out how to get ifcico to be invoked using the bbs user when a call is
received, but so far have not got that figured out.  Once upon a time, someone
suggested added this line to the config file:

ifuser 

But ifcico does not recognize that config item and will write an error to the
log before continuing as user ftn.

I poked around some online and only found a reference to ifcico supposedly
running as user uucp by default (which I already know is false), but nothing
about switching what user it runs as.

If anyone has this working with synchronet and/or knows how to get ifcico to
invoke as the bbs user, I would be interested in how you got it working.
Thanks!
