Yep, this is the problem as Marius pointed out. Debian, for security reasons, runs schooltool as the user schooltool not as root. Meaning that you cannot use schooltool on ports below 1024. The solution you can implement right now to run schooltool on port 80 is to use apache virtual hosting (as described in the schooltool README): http://source.schooltool.org/svn/trunk/schooltool/README.txt A further solution would be to implement privilege dropping in schooltool, where schooltool would start as root, bind to the ports and then change it's user to something else. btw, do we have an FAQ? This question has come up a few times before. -- Brian Sutherland Metropolis - "it's the first movie with a robot. And she's a woman.
