Hello All!

I have been having problems using mbse with Mageia v4 (& v3) since migrating
over from Mandriva 2011 in that for any new user (connecting to the system
using telnet) having entered username with the system creating the linux and
bbs account then requests password the password setup fails with a shadow file
busy.  This is not the case as when testing for it via "sudo lsof | grep
shadow" produces nothing.

So the question - would ALL mbse sysops please report here what Distro
including version they are using and what mbse version and confirm if that 
have
had new users registering since using along with the date (MM/YY) of last
registered user.

If you have not had anyone since setup please provide your BBS contact details
and I will try via telnet, or you can do a test yourself again (using telnet
localhost etc) and set up a test user and let me know.

If others are suffering from the same problem then we need to take a close 
look
at the code that deals with this and fix it!
