Re: [Oorexx-devel] Any progress on non-root perms an ooRexx 4.x?
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.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Any progress on non-root perms an ooRexx 4.x?
I may be wrong, but I thought that root was only required if the port was below a certain number, perhaps 1000. Anything over this number could be opened by ordinary users. Did I remember this incorrectly, or has this changed. Bruce Sent from an undisclosed location.

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Any progress on non-root perms an ooRexx 4.x?
Any port above 1024 can be used (opened, written to) by non-root users. The PID file location is the problem. René.

Anything over this number could be opened by ordinary users. Did I remember this incorrectly, or has this changed. Bruce, I think that is correct, but I'm not 100% sure. Michael, As I recall the real problem is that the rxapi code is written such that the pid for the process is written to a directory that only root can write to. If rxapi is installed as a system service than this is not problem for any user running ooRexx. But, it requires root access to get it installed to begin with. That explanation may not 100% technically correct, but it essentially describes the problem. There should be some way to change the code so that an ordinary user can install a private version of ooRexx that only runs for that user. This then may not comply 100% with Debian policy, or Fedora policy, or whatever policy. But, I haven't made any effort to look into that. -- Mark Miesfeld -- Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
