    Hello all,

            Has anyone in the list successfully tried allowing ordinary
    users to open privileged (< 1024) ports? We have a solaris 8 on sparc
    machine running an (java) application that normally uses ports > 1024;
    however a client requested the application to use privileged ports
    instead.

            This resulted in the application failing to start as the port
    that the application was trying to bind to was < 1024. I've looked for
    methods/workarounds to allow this but have so far come up empty.

            I would appreciate any experiences or links that the list could
    point me to.

            Thank you very much and best regards.

    Randy
