Here is a bit more... I just fired up sbbs in one window, and then did a 'netstat -lp' in another. Now, while sbbs is throwing the 98 errors in the first window, netstat now shows the services in question... telnet, ftp, etc... and shows them as being owned by sbbs.

Quitting sbbs in the first window causes those services to no longer appear on the netstat-lp list when it is executed a second time.

It almost seems like sbbs grabs the ports and then forgets it is the one that has them. :)

Is it possible you have duplicate network interfaces in your sbbs.ini file? What is your "Interface" value set to in your sbbs.in file?

You have to use the -n option for it port numbers instead of service/protocol names (e.g. "21", instead of "ftp").

Ahhh... now I see them! When SBBS is not running, only ports 22, 25, and
80 are engaged by other processes. 21 and 23 don't show up unless SBBS is running.

The value in [Global] is set to "Interface=(blank)", which is the same as
the setting on this board. It also shows up in other sections (ftp,
services, etc.) and is also always blank.

One thing I do need to do is to perform a more comprehensive comparison
between the sbbs.ini on this system and the one on that one. There are probably some differences that should not be. I did not make many changes
to it after installation, so it is close to stock.

Can you paste a log of the startup, including errors, somewhere?
