Pirate Bulletin Board System Installation Instructions:

First, you must be root to do run the installation procedure on your
machine. 

First decide where you would like the bbs home directory to go.  The
basic bbs directory will consume about 2 meg. Expect that the text
file space will grow to about 5 - 10 meg.  If you want to install file
download stuff, make sure there will be enough room for this as well.
After you have decided where your home directory will go, for the
examples it will be "/usr/bbs", then make an entry in your /etc/passwd
file that looks like this:

bbs::9999:99:Bulletin Board System:/usr/bbs:/usr/bbs/bin/bbsrf

Note, for installation the username MUST be bbs.  The shell needs to be
the bbs home directory + "bin/bbsrf".  Make sure that the user id
(9999), does not conflict with any other user id's in the passwd file,
and it may be helpful if the group is the same as anonymous ftp login.

Now in the bbs source code directory type:

make install

This will compile and install the bbs system.  Currently this is set
up for a Sun running Sun OS 4.0.3.  If you get any error messages, you
may have to do some of the installation by hand.  Consult the
install.csh file to see what needs to be done.

After installation, put the name of the bbs in the file ~bbs/BoardName.
Then create the SYSOP login.  This is done by typing the command:

rlogin -l bbs `hostname`

enter 'new' for a new user.
enter SYSOP as a user id, and fill in the rest of the information as
appropriate.  NOTE: You must use the SYSOP id, this id is given LEVEL
255 access automatically, and with this level, the user has access to
a shell.

Now it would probably be good to create a board 'General' and place a
post on it explaining what the board is for, and anything else that
you feel is important for new users to know.

Now the installation is complete.
