On UNIX-derived systems, ports below 1024 are privileged and can only be accessed as root.

I assume some of you have run into this error before when trying to run mongrel on port 80 (or another port < 1024) in OSX:

Mongrel runs without sudo on all other ports > 1024 otherwise. Anyone have the reason that these ports require sudo?
