Well thanks, but actually the restriction applies to ports < 1024. I'm
asking if there is a way to get around this. For example, Apache can
run as root then switch to user after the listening socket(s) is
bound.

P.S. Would anybody know why it took an actual 8+ hours for my post to show up,
yet the reply from Hamish went out immediately?
