 Ac> Also, when you run './mis -daemon' are you running it as root or with

MIS should not be run as root.

You should use setcap instead to provide the MIS binary the capability to bind to privileged port using this command:

  sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/mis

This way, MIS can be started with a regular user and still be able to bind to a low port, without root privilege.

Cheers!
