I use port 80 and 21 for my       BBS so I use setcap to give my application (bbbsd in this case) the       capability to open and use these ports, like so..              sudo /sbin/setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' bbbsd              The above command will need to be run whenever your application is updated or       reinstalled.              The Synchronet wiki talks about this and the authbind method to acheive this.              http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:linux_non-root              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-7        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 18/200 19/10 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 134/100 153/135       SEEN-BY: 153/143 148 151 757 6809 7001 7715 154/10 218/700 840 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 114 206 300 317 400       SEEN-BY: 229/426 428 470 550 616 664 700 705 266/512 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 301/1 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 234       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 460/58 256 1124 5858 633/280 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 153/757 221/6 460/58 229/426           |
