Sorry, but root permission is required for running the rexxapi program on a *nix box. This is because it opens a local port for client connections and only programs that run with root permissions can open a server port on *nix systems.
This is one of the restrictions that raised it ugly head when we moved from shared memory to sockets for communication between clients and the rexxapi server program. It was a tradeoff between performance and reliability (sockets are much more reliable). You might try marking the rexxapi program as a sudo application and see if that fixes the problem.
