-<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 executable file itself (if ''/sbbs/exec/sbbs'' is a symlink, apply it to the target of the link instead). For example: 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.x64.exe.release/sbbs +  sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' ~/sbbs/src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.*.exe.*/sbbs

-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.+
  
 +This will need to be re-ran any time the binary is rebuilt and can be automated by adding the ''setcap'' target to your ''make'' command-line executed in ''src/sbbs3'':
