Works great. But now I'm taking a network programming class and plan to do my homework on the FBSD box. Problem is, I cant seem to give my account the correct permissions to use bind and other network functions. Ie: I try to run some of the examples from Unix Network Programming (Stevens) and is comes back: bind: permissions denied. I made my account a member of wheel and it still didn't work. Machine: 500mhz Celeron (it was free so I took it };) 64 M RAM Some big IDE disks. FBSD 3.2-Stable KDE desktop 2nd?: In my IFW rules I have 0300 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 will this deny me from trying to set up sockets on my local host? Thanks, -michael, a BSD newbie, but having fun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
