>Environment:

FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE as of 1 March 2001

>Description:

THe current ip(4) manpage stats that one cannot set the low (Sub 1024
'secure' ) portrange to use. This is in fact possible using the sysctl
variables :
net.inet.ip.portrange.lowfirst and 
net.inet.ip.portrange.lowlast 

This changes the man page to indicate so.
