you can set your SBBSCTRL environ var in many places, like ~/.bashrc ~/profile
and under etc. but none of them still EVER work from me so I created a script
to run sbbs console.

#!/bin/bash
set SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl/
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sbbs/exec/
export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sbbs/exec/
cd /sbbs/exec
sudo ./sbbs  -unkk4qbn -ugk4qbn -hnkk4qbn.synchro.net -gi -nh -tf1 -tl10 -ta
exit

The script will ask your sudo passwd. notice I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup also
because I was hacing issues with that..

I set these variables up in all the correct place, yet sbbs still states they
are not setup 

on the lines:
cd /sbbs/exec
sudo ./sbbs -unUNAME -ugUGRP -hnHOSTNAME -gi -nh -tf1 -tl10 -ta

depending on YOUR setup yo do not need to pass that many switches, but you
could:

cd /sbbs/ctrl
sudoo /sbbs/exec/sbbs --un -ug.. so on and so forth..

and I have /sbbs symlinked to my ~/kk4qbn/sbbs.


like I said.. even though I have set these vairables up like ALL FAQS have
shown me to, SBBS still cannot pick the env var up.. under debian.
