Although I haven't tested this configuration, I do not think it should 
be a problem.

Did you follow the instructions to set up the certificates exactly? 
Everything will work if you follow them to the letter.

One is the listening server, the other is the housekeeping process. 
Send signals to the listening server. (the process ID is in the .pid 
file, so you might do "xargs kill < /var/run/bbstored.pid" for 
example.)

Could you post your bbstored.conf file? It's only the PID file which 
will be deleted on the server.

I'm not sure why that would happen. The housekeeping process is set to 
ignore signals anyway.
