This answer is essentially correct. Unix or Solaris uses ports up to 1024 as
privileged and you need to have root access.

There is a util available on Linux called "ipchains" that can
redirect all requests from port 80 to 8080. After you set it up
with root user, u can run Orion as non-root on port 8080
and without clients even noticing it.
Find out if there is such a tool on Unix that u are running.
Never run Orion as ROOT. Even Orion team says that there
might be some security leaks if running Orion as root.
There is tutorial that i've read @ www.orionsupport.com called
"Running Orion on Linux" that has explanation about users and
everything. Take a look maybe it will help. And ofcourse same
website has tutorial named "Running Orion on Unix" maybe
it has instructions that u need.
I hope this helps
