Hi g00r00,

 g0> It looks like you are running the BBS as user bbs in the group users, so
 g0> I would say first thing to try is: Shut everything down and do a chown
 g0> to make sure the user has permissions for everything:

I've tried the following:

1) sudo ./mystic -l
   Result: boots to prompt after ~4-5 minutes.

2) shutdown mis,  chown -R bbs.users mystic,  start mis, sudo ./mystic -l
   Result: boots to prompt after approx. same time frame.

Both ways have the following in the errors.log file (w/ different pid):

2021.22.11 08:49:00 MYSTIC 002 Cannot write to /mystic/data/chat2.dat. CODE=2,
PID=30423
2021.22.11 09:17:55 MYSTIC 002 Cannot write to /mystic/data/chat2.dat. CODE=2,
PID=30516

That said, I do notice an event being run before 09:17:55.

09:17:53 EVENT    Sending shutdown notice to node: 2
09:17:53 EVENT    Resetting ghost node: 2 (Invalid server slot)
09:20:03 EVENT    Running event: Poll echomail
09:20:03 EVENT    Cmd: ./mis poll
09:20:03 EVENT    Res: 0

So I'm guessing that there is an event on my system that's killing the node.
I'm still wondering if it's related to the next event (Poll echomail).

I do have a regular event which polls my uplink; but I don't quite see why it
would kill the 2nd Node (I'm currently on two nodes) and not both nodes.
So I'm assuming that's just a coincidence since it killed the node and then
waited 2 minutes later before polling.

Unfortunately, I'm looking at the events in the Event editor and I don't see
something which would kill just an idle node after ~ 4 to 5 minutes.
I do have Inactivity set to 300 and I do have Disable Time to Yes.  So for a
bit of fun, I set the Inactivity to 10 to see what happens as that's the only
thing that's related to 5 minutes (300 seconds).  (Yes, just grasping at straws 
right now)

After changing that setting, I restarted mis and logged in but after 10
seconds, nothing happens.  So not sure still.
