@FiloSottile wouldn't an iptables redirect rule have done the trick without preloading? ;)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@AndreaBarisani that requires root to setup. I'm really not ok with A) make test not working out of the box B) make test asking for sudo1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@FiloSottile this raises a discussion topic, in this day and age do we still value separation between privileged and unprivileged ports?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@AndreaBarisani I'm willing to bet there are core systems that rely on normal users not being able to open some ports for their security1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@FiloSottile probably, but is that still considered a good/valid concept in 2015? I doubt it.
