also when you are done you can 'delete' the ipfw rule that you set up
here as well when you are done. It might also be helpful to make
sure that your rule number is not in use with ipfw list if you want
to get fancy

here is how I have done it in the past
echo "passwordHere" | sudo -S /usr/sbin/sysctl -w
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1;sudo /sbin/ipfw add 102 fwd 127.0.0.1,
destinationPort tcp from any to sourceAddr sourcePort in;sudo -K
For the record, this works like a dream! I can execute the above
in a shell (filling in appropriate values for destinationPort,
sourceAddr, and sourcePort), right before calling
ServerSocket.Listen, and now my app appears to all the world to be
listening on the standard port. This is a very clean solution,
which doesn't risk giving my app root privs, nor require mucking
about with setuid bits, declares, or plugins.
Thanks, Sam!
