Or you could just use a higher port like say... 8080 or was it 8008, and that way you wouldn't even need to launch your server task as root. Any one here remember what port EOTL mud used? My fav back in the day.	[reply]

To complement that, run a port-forwarder on port 23 from tcpserver or inetd. netcat is particularly good for this sort of thing. The only disadvantage is that you'll lose the incoming IP address of your clients.	[reply]
