I have checked the /etc/services and found that the port is activated as it should be. I have not, however checked the /etc/protocols to see if there are any problems. I will also check the perms. Thanks for the suggestions.

As far as I can tell, the program is running fine as is, and is not using the other functions/values. So, I guess that is a good thing, and I really shouldn't be to worried about it. Thanks again.
