Hi All!

I am setting my board back up, and finding a couple of things that I am having trouble with.
In setting up, I get Recycle Support Disabled for FTP, Web, Mail, and Services. I watched the video for Synchronet and Ubuntu, which is a little old, but still relevant. There was a file libcap2 wich was installed, and all was well.
Not for me though. Ubuntu (ZORIN) says I have the latest and greatest. So where to from here?

What version of Synchronet are you using?

If you're using the latest sbbs.service file (to run sbbs as a systemd service), it includes the following:
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
... which enables the required capability (setcap or libcap2 not requird).

If you're not running sbbs as a systemd service, you'll want to run 'make setcap' in the src/sbbs3 directory to set the required capability flag on the sbbs binary.

3.17B. The one off GitHub (WGET)

... which enables the required capability (setcap or libcap2 not requird).

I think this is what I did. Was running daemon, and basically wanted to watch it run for a while when I set it up. Because I have that line in the sbbs.service
file. So I was runnning SBBS from the command line for a bit.

If you're not running sbbs as a systemd service, you'll want to run 'make setcap' in the src/sbbs3 directory to set the required capability flag on the sbbs binary.

If I stick with running from the command line, I'll do this.
Otherwise, I'll just run daemon and use journalctl.

Thanks,
Grease (Will)

Are you sure about that? Connecting to your BBS's Telnet Server reports v3.20. And your message's PID reports Synchronet 3.20a-Linux master/e3f17e641 Nov 04 202 GCC 11.4.0

(which is good)

Yup, either option should work, but daemonized is recommended.

Sorry, still was in watching video mode. It is v3.20. I am not the luckiest person. Nothing seems to work right the first time. And I get caught up going back and forth.

Switched to daemon mode, working good.
