Hi List,

I'm using my FBSD machine that acts a gateway/ip masqer for my home net.
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
