I'm planning on that for the 1.0.7 release, as soon as I can finish fixing 
Binkp NR mode.

I suspect that is exactly what your problem is.  I have no other reports of 
such problems compiling MBSE.  I suggest backing up your MBSE home directory, 
reinstalling Mageia (maybe a good time to upgrade to the latest), and 
restoring MBSE.  You'll need to either run the SETUP.sh again, or manually 
create the users and groups.  For your BBS users, you can lookup their unix 
names and passwords in the BBS userfile.
