Hi all,

I'm trying to disable the /A (avatar settings) from the menu(s).

I've edited default.src in the sbbs/exec directory and commented out the /A entry. I've restarted sbbs but the command still functions as normal. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Cheers,
Michael.

.src files must be compiled into .bin. Run "baja default" in the exec directory to compile default.src to default.bin.

That makes sense :) Thanks :) Now to just sort out a couple of niggling
issues I can't seem to pin down;

1) 2/1 11:53:09 term 0004 !ERROR 98 binding Telnet Server socket to port 2023

Not sure why i'm getting this error. Nothing else on the pi is running on 2023 This happens on a cold start or when I quit the bbs and restart it.

2) When a client disconnects when I try to reconnect i'm unable to. I have to restart the server.

$ grep 98 /usr/include/*/*errno.h
/usr/include/asm-generic/errno.h:#define EADDRINUSE 98 /* Address already in use */

According to your OS, that address is already in use. Use netstat or 'ss' to find out which process is using it:

Would need a lot more information: what kind of client? Does the server recognize the disconnection? Do you have corresponding log messages to share?

It's not showing, perhaps an old process is hanging on to it.. it appears to solve itself after a couple of attempts... I'll leave it as is unless it gets really annoying.

Nothing in the logs. I find the logs to be a bit thin. Is there any way to
get verbose logging from sbbs? I've looked through the wiki and can't find anything, also gone through scfg but there may be a .ini file i've missed?

Did you try setting REUSEADDR=1, as directed in the FAQ (http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:tcpip#bind)?

Yes I have that in there, first thing I tried.
