## Monitoring Logs
Logs are produced by Bunyan which outputs each entry as a JSON object. To tail logs in a colorized and pretty pretty format, issue the following command:
tail -F /path/to/enigma-bbs/logs/enigma-bbs.log | /path/to/enigma-bbs/node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan
ENiGMA½ does not produce much to standard out. See below for tailing the log file to see what's going on.
### Points of Interest
* Default ports are 8888 (Telnet) and 8889 (SSH)
* Note that on *nix systems port such as telnet/23 are privileged (e.g. require root). See [this SO article](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16573668/best-practices-when-running-node-js-with-port-80-ubuntu-linode) for some tips on using these ports on your system if desired.
* The first user you create via applying is the SysOp (aka root)
* You may want to tail the logfile with Bunyan: `tail -F ./logs/enigma-bbs.log | ./node_modules/bunyan/bin/bunyan`

# Advanced Installation
If you've become convinced you would like a "production" BBS running ENiGMA½ a more advanced installation may be in order.
