[xfbb] New Installation

Hi All,

Some time back I advised of a problem with xfbb on a new installation.

When /usr/local/sbin/fbb & is run for the first time it offers to create 
some files and asks for a Y/N answer. When a Y is given the bash shell 
says Y is not a bash command.

Today I was setting up a new remote installation of fbb and got the same 
result. I ran /..../fbbsrc/install_sh and a number of files were 
created, but only after I manually moved fbb/conf to 
/usr/local/etc/ax25/fbb.conf before running the script. When I tried to 
forward with my bbs from this new system, as soon as I made the first 
proposal, the remote bbs disconnected.

The problem turned out to be that epurmess.ini didn't exist. It wasn't 
created by the install script, and didn't exist in the source directories.
