  • sockopts.ini issue; can't edit???

    From Paulie420@VERT/PAULIE42 to All on Sat May 2 11:07:14 2020
    God guys, I do hate being on the low end of understanding sbbs - and its showing me that I don't know a lot about my basic system. But I'm learning.
    I'm trying to edit sockopts.ini to change the REUSEADDR line... and nano says error reading lock file swap; and shows sockopts.ini as empty.

    When I CAT sockopts.ini, tho; I can see its contents... there is a .SWP file in the directoy tho...


    Can someone answer that for me. Jesus... :P Sorry for the amateur hour.

    Try using a different editor.
