    Hey,

    Your instructions worked! ;)

    Just one more question when you say:
    "You will have to splut /etc/xinetd.d/mbsebbs into it's parts (telnet,
    binkp, fido, tfido"

    What do you mean? ie: for telnet do I copy/paste the telnet part into
    a new file called telnet?

    Ignore that lol.. I did some tests and having them all in the one file does work so you can just leave the mbsebbs file as it is, you just need to
    change one line in the telnet { } part from disable=yes to disable=no then
    do a service restart xinetd

    If you need a diff telnet port than 23 edit /etc/services and change the
    telnet line from 23/tcp to ####/tcp (####=port)

    Righto!

    I've made the change to this for binkd (ie: now answering on 24555) but nothing I do will get telnet to answer. I've even tried adding a new line under un official services for port 2023. I know this is a known issue, but
    I can't remember how I solved it last time.

    Here comes some info:

    #
    fido 60179/udp # Chatserver
    telnet 2023/tcp # Telnet for MBSE

    # Telnet to the bbs using mblogin, disabled by default.
    #
    service telnet
    {
    disable = no
    protocol = tcp
    instances = 10
    flags = REUSE
    log_on_failure += USERID
    socket_type = stream
    user = root
    server = /usr/sbin/telnetd
    server_args = -L /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin
    wait = no
    }

    # Telnet to the bbs using mblogin, disabled by default.
    #
    service telnet
    {
    disable = no
    protocol = tcp
    instances = 10
    flags = REUSE
    log_on_failure += USERID
    socket_type = stream
    user = root
    server = /usr/sbin/telnetd
    server_args = -L /opt/mbse/bin/mblogin
    wait = no
    }

    shawn@Xgate-top:~$ telnet littlebastard 2023

    Make sure you remove/comment out the old telnet line from port 23

    forgot to tell you something lol.. change /usr/sbin/telnetd to /usr/sbin/in.telnetd


    Raspbian uses netkit-telnetd with a wrapper you have to call in.telnetd instead.. sorry.. that's totally my bad
    disable = no
