Hello Everyone, A simple question i guess: i'm writing a program on Linux that needs to bind to port 53. When i run the program, it seems to bind fine, but the socket receives no connection on port 53. Since it's a priviliged port, i'm presuming packets are not being allowed to reach me, even though the bind seemed successful. Can someone help me out as to what i need to do to receive packets? I have root access to the machine. sunny days, Aditya - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
