I'm using RedHat 7.3 and I get the error "couldn't grab nearby port" (I've read the FAQ) when I try to launch the bot, since I've setup the bot to listen to port 23 for user connections.
I am using this port because my box is behind a proxy and the only redirected port I can use is 23.
The bot launches though for ports over 1023, and thus I'm gessing something is blocking normal user accounts from using ports which are reserved for services (1-1023), for security purposes. Of course I can't verifiy that since I can't lauch the bot while I'm root, it doesn't allow it.
I'd like to point out that the telnet service has been disabled through /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and that netstat -a doesn't show any listenning connection on port 23.
I'd really appreciate some help, thanks.
