Here's a link to the Mystic Wiki:

https://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=cryptlib

About halfway down the page is the section on Linux. It tells you how to find the library and what it's called. Place that library as per the
instructions. Mystic also has a "feature" that after making any changes to things like libraries or configurations, you need to restart "mis."

Keep us posted.

Thanks. I got it working. I thought I posted an update.

The library was in lib64 not lib as I thought; so once I figured
out correct path; mystic loads it up :-)

Thanks for the link, may check it out. Haven't messed with running
BBS in docker container. Sounds intriguing.
