You're right, I was being vague. It absolutely has to run as root. But I am generally wary of running code which has open ports and no source to examine.

Running proprietary code which runs as root and opens ports just annoys me on principle. -Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
