Doug Barton, Thanks. I already did the step, changed the IPPORT_RESERVED parameter in /usr/src/sys/netinet/in.h and recompiled it, but the problem is: it aborted when compiling! I have to use a old kernel. I want to know if there is a switch/option that we can set so that amd will not use reserved ports by default, or if there are other versions of amd that doesn't use reserved ports by default. Thanks. Your know, if we change the range of reserved ports, the R-commands (rsh, rlogin, rexec..) will run into trouble, because R-daemons can only accept connection requests using ports between 512 and 1023!!! too terrible!
