Description Paul Moore 2006-03-08 04:51:06 UTC 
Kopete taken from kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5 will not accept a IRC server port value below 1024, however, editing the config file by hand seems to work correctly.

Here is my emerge info:

Comment 1 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-08 05:19:41 UTC 
This should be reported upstream, but please consider that to open ports < 1024 you need to be root, and using IRC as root is not exactly a good idea.
Comment 2 Paul Moore 2006-03-08 06:11:15 UTC 
I'll go ahead and file a report with the KDE team, I posted it here first as I thought Gentoo might of wanted a heads-up.

As far as the whole privleged ports issue, the assigned port for IRC over SSL is 994.  Besides, running network service daemons at ports below 1024 is not new ...
