Does Synchronet actually crash when this happens?  This means another server is 
already running on the same port (21), so Synchronet can't use that port. This i
s just an error, and I don't think Synchronet will crash when this happens; it j
ust can't bind to the port.

One way you can check what process is listening on port 21 is with this command:
sudo lsof -i -P -n |grep LISTEN |grep :21

One thing I've noticed is that after shutting down sbbs, it can take a couple mi
nutes for it to fully shut down, so if I try to start sbbs up again too soon, so
me of the ports might still be in use.
