Hi all,

If you're using dosemu2, you may find that doors no longer work since last week sometime when a change was made.

The solution is to run dosemu2 with the -no-priv-sep settings. For those using up-to-date sbbs, you'll be able to add this into your /sbbs/exec/dosemu.ini file.

The issue will be evident in your /sbbs/node?/dosemu_boot.log file. There'll be a permission denied error for the tty device.

ERROR: SERIAL: Unable to open device /dev/pts/5: Permission denied

Hope that helps someone out.

Thanks. This is something that could probably go on the wiki: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:dosemu2
