You don't want to have slimserver listen on port 80... In order to 'bind' to ports less than 1023, you need to be root. (This is to stop users from starting servers that should be only run by trusted users. It was also a very-weak security mechanism that rsh/rlogin and friends used to know if they should just blindly trust a user logging in.)
Slimserver is a big complex program, and while it is "probably" safe to run as root, it is not wise... one bug could do nasty things. Reverse-proxy would work fine. But if you have no aversion to having the :9000 part show up in the location bar, you can handle the redirect with an http redirect. "Any attempt to access the host foo.blah gets a redirect to http://foo.blah:9000/"; -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22711 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
