ok, I am trying to convert from windows to linux.
I am having big problems with the upper/lower case names.
my linux sbbs is trying to run like, /sbbs/EXEC/qnet-ftp.bin
I checked the exec dir and it shows lower case but the bbs is still trying to run javascripts like this. I checked everything I could think of to fix this. anyone have any ideas on where else to look?
I have looked thru scfg and every config file I can think off.

I haven't tried synchronet on linux yet, but I do know in Windows you can set environment variables to change where the bbs looks for executables...have you tried changing them? "export SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec/" should do it, if memory serves... might also want to do the same for SBBSCTRL and SBBSDATA while you're at it...

Actually, aren't *bin files, compiled baja files? And btw, did you run the make file in the exec directory?

Did you install a firewall on your Ubuntu system? If not, then the ports are already 'open', at least on the Ubuntu system...

Do you have a separate firewall system, perhaps on whatever you're using to connect to the internet?

see if you already have a telnet server binding to port 23.

how?

It's been a while since I've been on linux, but if I remember correctly, check the directory /etc/rc5.d. You may have files named something like S##.telnetd and K##.telnetd, or something like that. Those are the scripts that start and stop the regular telnet server.
Of course, you should be able to telnet to localhost if you have a telnet
server already running.

how?

To see what programs are using what ports, one thing you can do is run the following command:

sudo netstat -nlpt

Then check if there is a line in those results that has ":23" in the "Local Address" column; if so, you can see what program has it in the "PID/Program Name" column.

SCFG->System->Advanced Options. Change "../EXEC" to "../exec". Should do the same for the other directories too.

What's "jackalopez"? And is that the only error that comes up?
