oh wow.. and that right there is why i don't really like the idea of autoconfig
scripts, etc.. if someone needs a script to do all the BBS
instal/setup/configuration, then how in the crap will they actually be able to
run the BBS.  I can understand having one for a sysop who is already setup and
would just like to hav eit to roll the bbs back out incase something happens.
but I've seen and committed some doozies in my lifetime of sysoping.. I really
have done some stupid crap from time to time because I really hate reading
documentation, etc. so I find myself usually skimming through it. after a while
most everything with SBBS can be setup without worrying about docs.. but theres
times when stuff comes up and bites me.. and make me look fairly stupid because
usally it is the trivial stuff that gets me.
