You mean port 80, or any other low number port? I think it's the same as with AOLserver 3.x, you must start AOLserver as root, and use the -u command line switch to tell it what non-root user to become after it binds to the port. > Does AOLserver drop privileges before reading configuration file? I'm not sure exactly when AOLserver drops privileges and becomes the non-root user, but since you tell which port to bind to IN the config file, I guess AOLserver must still be root at that point. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
