If you install Synchronet with one user account and then later run with another (non-root) user account, you could encounter permissions errors.
  
-Use "''adduser sbbs''" (or "''sudo adduser sbbs''" if necessaryto create the user account and "''su sbbs''" to switch to it:+:!: **Running the BBS servers/services (''sbbs''as the system'''root'' user is not recommended**.
  
-  $ su sbbs+Use ''adduser'' (or "''sudo adduser''" if necessary) to create the //run-as// user account (e.g. ''sbbs''). 
 +  $ adduser sbbs 
 + 
 +On Linux, it's very convenient for the run-as user to have ''sudo'' access. To achieve this, as a sudo/root user: 
 +  $ sudo adduser sbbs sudo 
 +  $ groups sbbs 
 +  sbbs : sbbs sudo ... 
 +Belonging to the ''sudo'' group will allow you to perform system administration functions while logged-in as the BBS //run-as// user through the use of the ''sudo'' command. 
 + 
 +Use the ''su'' command to switch the current user to the //run-as// user (the "''-''" specifies to //login// as that user, e.g. setting the cwd to that user's home directory):

-If you find it necessary to start the BBS servers/services as root, then you can have the BBS daemon (sbbs) automatically change to the Run-as User after it has bound the necessary TCP and UDP [[faq:tcpip#ports]], by setting the ''User'' value of the ''[[config:nix|[Unix]]]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file.+If you find it necessary to start the BBS servers/services as the ''root'' user, then you can have the BBS daemon (''sbbs'') automatically change to the //Run-as User// after it has bound the necessary TCP and UDP [[faq:tcpip#ports]], by setting the ''User'' value of the ''[[config:nix|[Unix]]]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbs.ini]]'' file.
  
 ===== Creating the Synchronet Directory ===== ===== Creating the Synchronet Directory =====

Some common locations would be the ''home'' directory of the Run-as User (e.g. ''/home/sbbs/sbbs'') or the system root directory (e.g. ''/sbbs'').  The information below will assume you are logged in as the user "sbbs".
  
 By default, Synchronet executables will look for files in the ''/sbbs/ctrl'' directory, so if you install Synchronet into a different directory you will need to either create a symbolic link in your root directory (e.g. ''ln -s /home/sbbs/sbbs /'') or set the ''[[config:env#SBBSCTRL]]'' environment variable accordingly. By default, Synchronet executables will look for files in the ''/sbbs/ctrl'' directory, so if you install Synchronet into a different directory you will need to either create a symbolic link in your root directory (e.g. ''ln -s /home/sbbs/sbbs /'') or set the ''[[config:env#SBBSCTRL]]'' environment variable accordingly.
  
-  - ''$ [[install:nix:createdir|mkdir /sbbs]]'' +For example, to create your Synchronet directory in ''/sbbs'', you could do the following: 
-  - ''$ [[install:nix:chdir|cd /sbbs]]''+ 
 +  - ''$ [[install:nix:createdir|sudo mkdir /sbbs]]''    <- (you would likely be prompted for your password to use "sudo"
 +  - ''$ [[install:nix:createdir|sudo chown sbbs:sbbs /sbbs]]''    <- (this will change directory ownership to the "sbbs" user and group) 
 +  - ''$ [[install:nix:chdir|cd /sbbs]]''    <- (puts you in the /sbbs directory as the "sbbs" user) 
 + 
 +Alternatively, to create your Synchronet directory in your Run-as User's home directory (e.g. ''/home/sbbs''), you could do the following: 
 +  - ''$ [[install:nix:createdir|mkdir ~/sbbs]]'' 
 +  - ''$ [[install:nix:chdir|cd ~/sbbs]]'' <- (puts you in the ''/home/sbbs/sbbs'' directory as the "sbbs" user)

 +=== Result === 
 +If you installed with the ''SYMLINK=1'' option, the resulting installation directory tree should look like this:

 +</code> 
 + 
 +Due to the symbolic directory links (represented with ''->'' arrows above), subsequent ''[[howto:git]] pull'' operations (in the ''sbbs/repo'' directory) will automatically update the ''docs'', ''[[dir:exec]]'', ''[[dir:text]]'', ''[[dir:web]]'', ''[[dir:webv4]]'', and ''[[dir:xtrn]]'' directories. This means that any //local changes// (configurations or customizations) of files in **those** directories may need to be merged with any upstream changes later. Most configuration files are located in the ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' directory so they are automatically excluded from any update/merge issues.

-===== Terminal Capabilities ===== 
- 
-As you may have noticed by now, most telnet clients designed for use with 
-ANSI BBSes do not display full-screen Unix programs correctly. Included with 
-Synchronet is a pair of terminal capability definition files that enable you 
-to run native full-screen Unix programs and have the output displayed correctly 
-in a standard ANSI-BBS terminal.  These files are ''termcap'' and ''terminfo'', 
-located in your Synchronet install directory.  Your system will use one or the 
-other, and it won't hurt to install both.  You will need to be logged in as 
-root to install the files. 
- 
-==== Installing the terminfo file ==== 
- 
-1) Get the Synchronet ANSI-BBS terminfo file from 
-[[https://gitlab.synchro.net/sbbs/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/terminfo|here]]. 
- 
-2) Enter the command: 
-  # tic terminfo 
- 
-==== Installing the termcap file ==== 
- 
-1) Get the Synchronet ANSI-BBS termcap file from 
-[[https://gitlab.synchro.net/sbbs/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/termcap|here]]. 
- 
-2) Enter the command: 
-  # cat termcap >> /etc/termcap 
- 
-3) **FreeBSD Only** run the command: 
-  # cap_mkdb -f /usr/share/misc/termcap /etc/termcap 
- 
-Once the terminal capability files are installed, edit the ''ExternalTermANSI'' 
-value in the ''[BBS]'' section of your ''[[:config:sbbs.ini]]'' file to read: 
-    ExternalTermANSI=ansi-bbs 
- 
-Note: The default value of the ''ExternalTermANSI'' ''[[:config:sbbs.ini]]'' key is ''pc3''. If you get an error ''Unknown terminal: pc3'' from external programs, it means that this key value has not been set to a valid terminal type. 
- 
-Note: Once again, many Linux distros do not have a termcap.  This is fine. 
-You do NOT need to install the termcap-compat package.  If termcap 
-isn't installed, it means nothing uses it.  Only if there is a 
-termcap do you need to add the ''ansi-bbs'' termcap definition.
