Hi all,
suddenly I'm facing this quest on freebsd 8. I need to bind my little webserver
running aolserver to port 80. In the past I was always using port 8080 and had
my router configured to forward requests on port 80 to the server on port 8080.
However, I am planning to host my little site on a virtual server with a
hosting company and figuredI can't use the workaround I always used. So my
question is, how to bind aolserver to port 80 without running as root as I
understood ports below 1024 can only be used by root.
I found a sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh which enables me to set it
to 0. However, I don't know what the security ramifications are of using that.
Are there any other options I could consider?
Thanks
Dino
