Hi all,
is it possible to securely run the server on port 80 ?
I'd prefer not to have to remember (and get my family to remember) the
port number.
I know that this used to mean running things as root
But setcap utilities can now allow non-root users to bind to low
numbered port on specific binaries
as per this example from apache (which I cant link to as this is my
first post here)
cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HTTPD/NonRootPortBinding
I've used this successfully for compiled work where it's easy enough to
run setcap on the resultant binary
I'm not quite sure if it works the same for perl
I have tried
Code:
--------------------
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/sbin/squeezeboxserver
--------------------
But I'm not sure where the port is specified in the server code - I cant
see it in config
/usr/share/perl5/Slim/Utils/Prefs.pm has a line 'httpport'
=> 9000,
But editing this doesn't seem to do what I want.
So questions :
1) Is trying to run the service on port 80 a bad idea for any reason
2) Am I editing in teh right place - or what do I need to do to change
9000 to port 80
Thanks
(I've been running this system for a decade or so but never tried to
tinker before - Perl isn't really my thing - but web dev is)
