bash ./SETUP.sh

logout 
login mbse
tar xfvj /root/mbsebbs-0.83.21.tar.bz2 (perission denied) urf
login as root in another consul window
starting mc and copy mbsebbs-0.83.21.tar.bz2 to /opt/mbse
change owner from daily user to mbse
back to consul window box for mbse
tar xfvj /opt/mbse/mbsebbs-0.83.21.tar.bz2
bash ./configure
make >mbsebuild.log 2>&1
