Here's my port of xbbs (Xenix BBS) to Linux. Let's give it version v1.0


For a quick start do the following:
(It assumes you wish to install xbbs in /usr/xbbs)

1)	Add a user 'bbs' to your system with /usr/xbbs/home as it's homedir.
	The output of 'grep bbs /etc/passwd' could look like this:

	bbs::888:777:XBBS - User:/usr/xbbs/home:/bin/sh


2)      User 'bbs' should be placed in the group 'bbs'

	/etc/group --> bbs::777:bbs


3)	make                             # This will compile xbbs

4)	make install  (run this as root) # This will install xbbs in /usr/xbbs

5)	Examine the paths in /usr/xbbs/home/.config.bbs to reflect those
	of your system, like with tar, sz, kermit etc...

6)	Replace Sysop Name in /usr/xbbs/home/.config.bbs with that of
	your name.

7)	The next thing you should do is login the bbs with your
	'sysop name' and set a password.
	Answer yes at the question 'check for mail'. It will
	initially create all the msg databases.

You're done!

NOTE!   For some reason you can't login the bbs from a virtual console.
        For now the solution is to just telnet to localhost and login
        as 'bbs'

Requirements:

	It is assumed that you have the GNU make command.
	Compiler: GCC 2.3.3. An older version should do the job either.
	I'm using Linux 099 pl6 but older versions should work as well.
