Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Unix
SYMPTOM(s):
Socket creation in 4GL fails as non-root user
Using ENABLE-CONNECTIONS in 4GL
Return value is NO
System user is not root
CAUSE:
A port number below 1024 was used, like in lRetVal = hServerSocket:ENABLE-CONNECTIONS( "-H localhost -S 102").
On Unix port numbers below 1024 cannot be served by unpriviledged processes, and only priviledged processes (such as those started by the root user) can use them.
FIX:
Specify a port number larger than 1024 for your socket.
