Hi,
I want to run a server that will listen on a port below 1024, but I do not wish it to run as root. Ideally I would create a dedicated account for this daemon and then grant it permission to listen of the specified privileged ports. Is this possible on Darwin/MacOS X? If not what alternatives can you suggest?
