yeah, sounds like a classic permissions problem... to make things easy,
i run everything as the same user and never use root... the BBS and mailer(s) are started when the system boots and then they drop privs to the normal user privs after they have opened the necessary low range ports... since everything is running as the same user and the entire
BBS directory tree is owned by that user, there's no problems...
IF, on the other hand, you are using (eg) var/spool/something for
mailer transfers, that can cause problems that are a little harder to
work around but can be done...
