Unfortunately, the SocketAcceptor bind() method not only binds the server socket but starts listening on the server channel immediately as well, which prevents prebinding of the ports.

Our temporary workaround has been to add a new 'register' method to
SocketAcceptor so our application can create and bind the

to allow MINA to start listening on the server socket.

ServerSocketChannel as root, setuid to the zimbra user, then call 'register'

How about just a variant on bind() that takes a ServerSocket(Channel) rather than an IP/port combination?

Any chance something like this or similar could be added to the MINA core in 1.1.x? This would be a big help for us so we don't have to indefinitely

maintain our own patched version of SocketAcceptor.

As Trustin said, we can put it into the core for 2.x, but 1.1.x is just in maintenance mode until we can get 2.0 out. (realizing the pain it causes to continue to have delays). But do post a patch!
