#745 closed enhancement (worksforme)

When non-root, can't bind to privledged port

Description

When running as a non-root user, Bitlbee is unable to open a priviledged port (<1024), because it drops priviledges prior to listening.

Fix: Open the port first, then drop priviledges, like other daemons do.

Is that possible to implement without large changes?

Please disregard, was traced to a bug in the startup script.

NOT A BUG IN BITLBEE.
