You cannot do that on Linux anyhow. You can't just open a socket with a low number. That's why my script uses privbind. If you use a high number I think it's not publically accessible. Depends on your ipchains/iptables or whatever firewall. Furthermore most people running through a router modem are firewalled off by the modem. As I said, its not my problem, and it shouldn't be. Programs that pretend to do security that aren't designed for it are a source of *insecurity*. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
