Hello All.
I installed Ubuntu 24.04 in a virtualBox, got it up and running and updated. I followed the wiki for installing SBBS in Linux, went well after MY errors. I have been able to set SBBS up and have tried to run the BBS, but I get this error,

I have given my "sbbs" user full root permissions. I can't figure out why the telnet gets this error. Anyone have an idea? I did set the environment variable.
