Yes, you're right. I was a little in a hurry when I wrote the message and  I 
didn't think too much.

To list the fwd directory I've run :

xfbbC -c -i <sysop_call> -w <sysop_passowrd> -l /fwd

and results are the same shown on the picture posted before :

I use kernel 2.6.16.14 compiled on that machine. I have installed FBB from a 
debian package.
I will try to download the source, compile it and make some tests.

Ah! I approached it differently. I logged on, gave the D command and 
then dir. I never use those features.

If you're going to do that may I suggest you delete the deb packages and 
compile libax25, ax25-tools, ax25-apps and fbb 7.04o. Bernard, F6BVP has 
the latest available. Take a look at this howto for links
