Mr. Greenman, I know I'm being repetative here, but I'd like to re-assert that the patch I posted does not allow regular users to bind to a privileged port, nor have I ever suggested that regular users be granted the ability to bind to a privileged port. > It would be nice if FreeBSD had account privileges ala VMS. You could then > have fine grain control over what 'privileged' programs can do, thus limiting I have some more patches to post. Let's see how they do in OpenBSD first. I don't think the problem is as complicated as it seems. ---------------- Thomas Ptacek at EnterAct, L.L.C., Chicago, IL [tqbf@enteract.com] ---------------- "If you're so special, why aren't you dead?"
