-A simple way that will allow Linux Synchronet to run completely as non-root is to explicitly allow the binary to bind low ports using the setcap command.+===== setcap ===== 
 +''setcap'' may be used to allow Synchronet (''sbbs'') for Linux to run completely as **non-root** user by explicitly allowing the binary to bind low ports using the command-line:
  
 <code>sudo /sbin/setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=ep' /sbbs/exec/sbbs</code> <code>sudo /sbin/setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=ep' /sbbs/exec/sbbs</code>
  
-This must be ran on the binary itself (if /sbbs/exec/sbbs is a symlink, apply it to the target of the link instead).  This will need to be re-ran any time the binary is rebuilt.+This must be ran on the executable file itself (if ''/sbbs/exec/sbbs'' is a symlink, apply it to the target of the link instead). For example: 
 +  sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=ep' ~/sbbs/src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.exe.release/sbbs
  
-A better alternative may be authbind:+This will need to be re-ran any time the binary is rebuilt (and remember to properly reference ''.debug'' or ''.release'').
  
-[TODO]+This requires that the [[https://packages.debian.org/stable/libcap2-dev|libcap2-dev]] package be installed prior to building ''sbbs'' (or perform a //clean// build of ''sbbs'' after installing ''libcap2-dev''). See [[install:nix:prerequisites]] for details.
