Re: Sockets on FreeBSD Mac OS X

Thanks for your help. Here is some more information: I am running the process from the command line as root. I also tried several different ports, all with the same result. I don't think you need any special permission to bind to a port above 1024. If so, I couldn't find anything out about it. Any other ideas?
