Hello...

Turns out extended logging was enabled on the server.  This is all I get 
(not running debug server).

This is my bbstored.conf on the server:
RaidFileConf = /etc/box/raidfile.conf
AccountDatabase = /etc/box/bbstored/accounts.txt

# Uncomment this line to see exactly what commands are being received 
from clients.
ExtendedLogging = yes

# scan all accounts for files which need deleting every 15 minutes.

TimeBetweenHousekeeping = 900

Server
{
        PidFile = /var/run/bbstored.pid
        User = box
        ListenAddresses = inet:xxxxxx
        CertificateFile = /etc/box/bbstored/xxxxxx-cert.pem
        PrivateKeyFile = /etc/box/bbstored/xxxxxx-key.pem
        TrustedCAsFile = /etc/box/bbstored/clientCA.pem
}

Thanks
