    And also on more thing you have to run mis as sudo: sudo ./mis
    or else you get the error faild to bind

    Hello silentsogi,

    And also on more thing you have to run mis as sudo: sudo ./mis
    or else you get the error faild to bind

    Yes, you would run mis/mis2 as root using "sudo ./mis(2)" or to load as a daemon using "sudo ./mis(2) -d". Mis/Mis2 will load as a root process so that it can bind to the necessary ports. But once loaded it will run as the non root
    user. The exception is when running using OSX. OSX doesn't allow this to happen.

    Here under Linux I load MIS/MIS2 from my init.d using a script and it loads fine as root but runs as the user it was installed under.

    would you mind sharing that init.d script? we had a ""fancy"" one here a while back but it has disappeared :(

    use the -D paramater on the MIS command line. RTFM as they say or use -? at the mis command line.

    I had to use sudo to get it to bind to ports lower than 1024 under OS/X. It would not do so otherwise.

    what about running mystic on a higher port and piping the traffic over

    with netcat? at least then netcat would be the only privileged process.
