On any kernel, only root can listen to ports < 1024 (I don't remember exactly) Sophana doug@simflex.com wrote:
I am running CentOS 4, and trying to get an unsupported program running on it. This program makes a lot of socket calls and has to run as an unprivileged user. I think I remember reading somewhere that the 2.6 kernel requires superuser rights for some socket operations. Is there a way to disable this in the 2.6 kernel? Which ports require the superuser rights?
Thanks, Doug
