Has anyone had any success getting ifcico to work with their synchronet BBS under linux?

I have it installed and it will answer calls. However, no mail is transferred because when ifcico is invoked by an inbound call, it is invoked as user 'ftn,' while the mail is written out by sbbsecho under the bbs user account.

I tried setting the ftn and bbs users up so they have access to each other's user group. However, both sbbsecho and ifcico appear to write files out with "600" access (read-write by user, no access for user's group). The result is that neither program can still read (or delete) files written by the other.

With outbound calls, ifcico is invoked by the bbs user and works. I was trying to figure out how to get ifcico to be invoked using the bbs user when a call is received, but so far have not got that figured out. Once upon a time, someone suggested added this line to the config file:

ifuser <USER>

But ifcico does not recognize that config item and will write an error to the log before continuing as user ftn.

I poked around some online and only found a reference to ifcico supposedly running as user uucp by default (which I already know is false), but nothing about switching what user it runs as.

If anyone has this working with synchronet and/or knows how to get ifcico to invoke as the bbs user, I would be interested in how you got it working. Thanks!
