[xfbb] Interface Client won't start!

[Bob Scanferla]

I agree it should work......but.

Here is a copy of my passwd.sys file:

[root at localhost fbb]# pwd
/etc/ax25/fbb
[root at localhost fbb]# more passwd.sys
# FBB7.04
#PASSWORD OF ALL NON DEFINED CALLSIGNS.
password
#
F6FBB 63 1023 thisJean-PaulPassword
VA3RJS 63 1023 va3rjs-01
[root at localhost fbb]#

You should be able to get the bbs prompt with

xfbbC -c -i <callsign> -w <password as set in /etc/ax25/fbb/passwd.sys>

I just did this, as root - xfbbC -c -i vk2tv -w ThEpAsSwOrDofvk2tv  
(fake password used here) and got the prompt.

The default port should work ok
