Is there any way to configure solaris8 to allow non-root processes to bind a low port (<1024).<br> <br>I have tried setting tcp_smallest_nonpriv_port using ndd, but it won't let me set anything less than 1025 as the value. I have tried patching Sol8 to allow the ndd command to set it less than 1024. The patch allows the command to succeed and it displays back that a lower value is set, but I still get permission exceptions when attempting to bind a low port from a non-root process.<br> <br>Using setuid() is not an option.<br> <br>Please, no lectures on security, I know what cliff I'm driving off. <br> <br>Thanks for any help.<br> <br>Lance<br> <br> <br>
