Title:
authbind unreasonably fails to address ports 512 through 1
The man page that comes with version 1.2.0build2 still claims:
"Ports from 512 to 1023 inclusive cannot be used with authbind because
that would create a security hole, in conjection with rshd."
.. even though authbind has been patched to allow using those ports.
