You will need to do a chown to the folder above so like this.

sudo chown root:user /root -R

Replace the user with whatever your user account is on the machine, this will keep the folder secured under root but allow you permissions as well.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

My real question is why is it trying to do it as root to begin with? The mis process is owned by the user, not root. I am not real comfortable having the BBS spawning external processes (like DOS doors) as root. Maybe I am just
old school but that sounds akin to giving just any user access to the DOS
Shell on the old DOS boards. If something happens and they get dumped to a prompt as the user, that is bad, but getting dumped as root could be potentially awful.
