RF> again. That said, I'm using mis2, with a36, as it includes an ssh
 RF> server...is this unsupported?

Well you can do whatever you want 

But I can't support a mix and match of old versions of Mystic that may or may
not be compatible with each other, have known issues, etc.  A36 doesn't even
have a MIS2 so I don't know what you're actually using lol.

I get that you also need a working BBS too, so I understand why you're back to
the old version.  But I can't address or help or resolve anything if I don't
have the person who has the problem around to help me.   I can't send you a new
binary with a fix if you're not at the current release level, etc.

 RF> DOSEMU was not complaining about security, in fact none of the
 RF> complaints were related to security or ownership. DOSEMU complained
 RF> about not being able to figure out character sets (cp437, auto, us, etc)

I'm not super familiar with DOSEMU but if the error is that it can't read its
configuration to get the default character set, then I would think that could
be very possibly be related to security.

Most earlier copies of test-release MIS2 (before it had all of the servers
fully functional) had an issue where in some cases it wasn't dropping its root
access after port binding...

If you happen to build and test your BBS with that server exclusively, and then
switch to the "stable" version which doesn't have that issue, I think it would
cause all sorts of random shit to go wrong.

As far as the BSY files, the FSXNET hub gets hammered and really tests this
stuff hard.  There are times when all 16 incoming BINKP nodes are active at
once receiving mail while there is also outbound BINKP and echomail tossing all
happening in harmony...

My point is that if it was a general issue like BSY files not getting deleted,
then the entire network would halt within minutes of deploying the server. Thee
would also be a LOT of people reporting the same issue, and so far its only
you.

The only other commonality between being unable to delete a BSY file and a
piece of software not reading its configuration values in my mind, would be
something with security either on the admin side or the software side.
