zlib installed, then in <b>mbcico</b> extra code will be compiled in the Hydra and Binkp protocol drivers
that will allow the PLZ extension. When a connection is made with another system that also
supports this extension (currently MBSE BBS and Radius beta versions), the files will be sent
compressed even if they are already compressed. The increased throughput will be between 1

also be added to binkp.</li>

<h3>Step 5: (RedHat) startup problems.</h3>
<p>
From RedHat 6.1 (not the older versions) the behaviour of the
<strong>su</strong> is changed. This may be true for other distributions since
the end of 1999 and for Mandrake as well. The file <code>/etc/rc.d/init.d/mbsed</code> that is
created by the setup script is different then before. The new command
is <strong>su -</strong> instead of simply <strong>su</strong>. It might be
that other new distributions also need the extra minus sign. If that's the
case, please let me know and tell me how I can test what version it is.
