If you say according to BSD history (duh, how's that for logic) then you are right. Otherwise you get ports 49152 upto 65535 for ephemeral ports (according to IANA). Given Solaris and possible other SVR4 descendants you'll end up at 32768 upto 65535 for the ephemeral ports. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl] Documentation nutter. *BSD: Technical excellence at its best...
