subject: Not Another BBBS Question

Hello There,

I was doing some testing and tried loading BBBSD from a script file  at system
boot. But it seems that BBBSD during operation changes the permissions on a few
files when loaded as root. My thinking was that BBBSD would load as root to be
able to bind to the necessary ports
but then run as "User". Well, I guess I didn't ask a question but  wondered if
my thinking was ok. And the best way to load BBBS at boot time.
