Being new to Linux, I decided to see what all the fuss is about and setup
a BBS. I'm a fairly adept C coder, but I've never really mucked about
in a UNIX / networking environment before.
What I want to do is build a multi-user BBS system for Linux (akin to,
say, GalactiComm on DOS) and build a multi-user interactive chat program.
I know this is possible, and I've come across various source code listings
for similar software, but the code isn't commented very well if at all,
and I'm left more confused than before.
I've gathered that I'll need to use sockets and the networking layer,
even though I'll only be connecting to localhost. Can anyone point
me in the right direction to do so? Are there any good FAQs or websites
or references for beginners? Thanks!
- Chris
