What did you do to get it to compile on a Pi as I have another user who has tried it without success. Likewise on OSX

Just checking in on if you got OSX to work with it?

Well the message is for Vince and everybody need it...I installed on Pi3 with this:

apt-get install xinetd telnetd build-essential sudo git zlib1g-dev
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/mbsebbs/code mbsebbs-code
cd mbsebbs-code
chmod a+x SETUP.sh
./SETUP.sh
Answer prompts as required.
Give the mbse and your account sudo rights by editing /etc/sudoers with visudo. Log out.
Log back in as the mbse user.
Check out code into mbse user's home directory: git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/mbsebbs/code mbsebbs-code
cd mbsebbs-code
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev (For Hydra/Binkp zlib compression)
sudo apt-get install libgeoip-dev (For GeoIP functions)
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev (For Binkp bzlib compression)
./configure
make
su
To check the value of $MBSE_HOME before installation: echo $MBSE_HOME
If correct, run 'make install'.
cd /etc/xinetd.d
Open the file mbsebbs for editing.
Scroll down until you find the telnet section.
Set disable = no
Change /usr/sbin/telnetd to read /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
Save xinetd.d.
sudo service xinetd restart
ps-ef | grep xinetd
Results should be something like:
root@mbse:/etc/xinetd.d# ps -aux | grep xinetd
root 24925 1 0 22:08 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/xinetd -pidfile /run/x
root 24927 24379 0 22:08 pts/1 00:00:00 grep xinetd
telnet localhost
You should now get:
mbse@mbse:/etc/xinetd.d$ telnet localhost
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

Hello Shawn!

So you installed the fidonet part and didn't any issues with node.lists files and so on? Well I am very happy if you want to share your experience/procedure with me because I am apparently the only one in the world without any success..

Thanks

I found it much easier then mystic BBS. But please keep in mind I am used
to the Remoteaccess style interface / menu. I copied the nodelists where they belong, added everything in mbsetup and turned it on.

What problems were you having maybe I can help you? (If you're interested)

Thank you for your help Shawn. I compiled all the fields in mbsetup than ./bin/mbindex and the nodelist was compiled but when I made ./bin/mfido a I always got this error

Can't open /opt/mbse/var/nodelist/node.files: No such file or directory

? 30-Nov-2016 14:01:58 mbfido[24763] Terminated with error 102

Than I stopped....because stuck

Other question how to change the telnet port?

did you look up what error 102 was?

what user and group own the file(s) in question?

what are the permissions on the file(s) in question?

Other question how to change the telnet port?

since inet.d is what kicks mbse to life, i'd guess that you'd change the port that inet.d is watching... replace "inet.d" with whatever you're using...

Did you compile the nodelists? You define them all in mbsetup then run mbindex to compile them. If there is an error with a missing nodelist mbfido will not run.

Other question how to change the telnet port?

In your /etc/services

telnet 2323/tcp #change to the port you want mbse to answer on

Thanks Mark, but I use xinetd inetd is not installed on my PI. I tried
the option -p but apparently doesn't work...but again..I am not lucky

Thanks Shawn, that's the point name and path in the nodelist are correct, after that I did ./bin/mbindex and the nodelist was compiled by nodelist.zxx to nodelist.123

In your /etc/services

telnet 2323/tcp #change to the port you want mbse to answer on

Ohh...right easy :-)

you did see my last sentence to replace "inet.d" with whatever you use, right? ;)

as someone else (shawn?) mentioned, check your /etc/services file... this is the only time that i'm aware of changing the port in /etc/services would cause the port being listened to to change... i've always just edit the services file
to add missing ports...
