i'm having the same problem with a little twist. i'm trying to get nsopenssl working as well, so i need to bind to two privileged ports.
if i bind to only one port like in one of the following lines: /usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -t /etc/aolserver/newsite.tcl -u nsadmin -g nsadmin -b 216.167.89.78:80 or /usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -t /etc/aolserver/newsite.tcl -u nsadmin -g nsadmin -b 216.167.89.78:443 then i have the same issues mentioned in the previous posts - i have to stop, wait a few seconds, then restart, otherwise i get a permission denied error. however, if i try to bind to both ports: /usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -t /etc/aolserver/newsite.tcl -u nsadmin -g nsadmin -b 216.167.89.78:80 -b 216.167.89.78:443 or /usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -t /etc/aolserver/newsite.tcl -u nsadmin -g nsadmin -b 216.167.89.78:443 -b 216.167.89.78:80 then whichever is listed first will NEVER bind, no matter how long i wait before restarting. so the only workaround that i could figure out was that in my startup script, i call BOTH lines: /usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -t /etc/aolserver/newsite.tcl -u nsadmin -g nsadmin -b 216.167.89.78:80 -b 216.167.89.78:443 AND /usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -t /etc/aolserver/newsite.tcl -u nsadmin -g nsadmin -b 216.167.89.78:443 -b 216.167.89.78:80 with each line, one of the ports won't be bound and the other will, but the end result is that both end up being bound. just so you know, when i started typing this post, i hadn't though of this workaround, and that's why i was posting. but midway through my typing, aha! and now it works like a charm (assuming of course i wait a few seconds after stopping). mkm -- 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.
