I pushed a little harder with IBM and found out that an SPR (Software Problem Report) has been opened for the issue on SUSE 12, which also exhibits the same behavior:
SPR # YXYX9RA56Z "Error - Unable to Bind port 443 or 80" on SUSE12. My representative quoted one of the developers as saying: "There is a known issue with SLES 12 where bindsock has issues. Before we can support SLES 12 and any other newer kernel with this issue, we will have to identify the issue and get it fixed - bindsock and it's code has never changed in this area so the issue is a change in behavior in the kernel". So, there is hope that there may be a future fixpack(s)(9.0.1 FP3?) where the issue may be addressed on the bindsock side. But, as one of my favorite quotes goes, "Hope? Let me tell you something, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside. You'd better get used to that idea." -Red, Shawshank Redemption -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335478 Title: A new instance of IBM Domino 'bindsock' cannot bind to ports <1024 Kernel 3.13.0-29 and above Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-trusty package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-lts-utopic package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Lucid: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-trusty source package in Lucid: Invalid Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Lucid: Invalid Status in linux source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-trusty source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Precise: Invalid Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-trusty source package in Trusty: Invalid Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Utopic: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-trusty source package in Utopic: Invalid Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Utopic: Invalid Status in linux source package in Vivid: Fix Released Status in linux-lts-trusty source package in Vivid: Invalid Status in linux-lts-utopic source package in Vivid: Invalid Bug description: Starting with kernels 3.2.0-64 and 3.13.0-29 Something has changed to once again that prevents IBM Domino's "/opt/ibm/domino/notes/latest/linux/bindsock" binary that runs as root (setuid) to get ports lower than 1024 for it's LDAP, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, and HTTP processes.
