To run telem on a Debian-based system, you will need to install the
following packages:
sudo apt install lua-penlight lua-posix
By default, telem stores BBS-related files unter /var/bbs . To change this
path, edit the variable _BBS_ROOT in telem.lua . Under _BBS_ROOT, you will
need to create the following hierarchy:
boards/
docs/
welcome -- your welcome message
rules -- your BBS's rules
This hierarchy must be writeable by the telem client. To avoid having
it accessible by all users, a C wrapper is provided. We recommend
creating a `bbs' user that owns _BBS_ROOT and installing the C wrapper
setuid bbs.
The man page `telem.1' should be installed in the `man1' folder at an
appropriate location in your MANPATH, e.g., at
/usr/local/man/man1/telem.1
