    Getting !setregid FAILED with error 1 (operation not permitted) it shows up two times in the console output when running externals, for sure when running under dosemu, think I have also seen it running Javascripts aso but do not know for sure, it does'nt seem to be hindering operation of anything, but on some dosemu games it makes the actual BBS console output show up before and be seen before the game output comes up.

    !setregid FAILED with error 1 (Operation not permitted)
    !setreuid FAILED with error 1 (Operation not permitted) [Threads: 23 Sockets: 19 Clients: 7 Served: 1061 Errors: 19] (?=Help):

    don't know if this is an actual error or just a "Feature" but thought it should be seen, tried searching for this issue with Synchronet and really nothing came up..

    This is definitely a bug (not a feature). Do you perhaps have better luck running sbbs demonized instead?

    yes, I really did'nt think to check that, but it took care of the issue. I'll keep an eye for when it gets squashed so I can get my console mode back :) Thanks man.

    just an addendum to this, after running with no issues for a long time daemonized under ubuntu, when I switched to manjaro and had issues with those certain doors running under manjaro/dosemu that we had spoke about a couple weeks back (the terminfo/termcap errors and the doors not taking user input) I decided to move back to running sbbs in console mode, now all doors are running with no issues, other than showing these !setregid errors.
