  Re: Building Synchronet with SSH (libcl.a)

You didn't need to paste all the console prompts.

Notice these errors:

???

The terminal server is trying to bind to the RLogin TCP port you have
configured, but something else is already listening there (might be another
instance of sbbs or just tcp ports stuck in a WAIT state (netstat would tell
you).
https://wiki.synchro.net/faq:tcpip#bind

The terminal server is not going to attempt to bind the SSH port until the
RLogin bind retries are exhausted. So... either disable the RLogin server or
enable the REUSEADDR socket option, as instructed in that FAQ, so it'll
continue on to bind the SSH port more quickly during initialization. Just
waiting for the bind retry attempts would eventually show you the SSH port
bind (or failure) in the console or log output. You just need patience or to
address the errors you're seeing.

Also, if you run Synchronet as a daemon (e.g. systemd service) instead of
interactively via sbbs, you'll have better control over the services and
logging support (e.g. using journalctl or syslog).
