That made me googling on this and I thought I sahre some of the links here. I found the following discussion snippet dating back to 1998: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9806.1/0128.html ... interesting approach in my eyes. I like the port idea. A similar solution is intended by http://gentoo-wiki.com/Accessfs [Gentoo, Thank youuuu] This FAQ suggests using port redirection with iptables to achieve it: http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.0/install/faq.xtp#How-can-I-bind-to-a-port-under-1024-and-still-run-as-a-non-root-user? I don't like the iptables approach too much, because this component used to be vulnerable for DoS attacks some time back. Dirk. ------------------------ Yahoo!
