dosemu and non-root users

dosemu and non-root users

[Graeme Humphries]

So, I had this "brilliant" idea to get some old DOS BBS games (like 
LORD) running under dosemu, and then allow access via telnet to them. 
However, I've run into some bizarre problems.

I obviously don't want to run dosemu on a port on the internet as root. 
However, when I attempt to run LORD as a non-root user, dosemu just 
exits, with no error messages or anything. As root, everything works 
fine. I've mucked around with the config, given all users "c_all" in 
/etc/dosemu/dosemu.users, but to no avail. I've made sure that the 
permissions on my drdos directory allowed writing by all users, and that 
didn't help either.

So, I'm sortof at a loss here. Any idea what the problem is, or what I 
can do about it?
