Error in Create TCP Listener - Linux

[alexbilo]

Hi,

When using the Create TCP Listener function in Linux Red Hat 9.0, I get an error (ill-formet net address). What is strange is that I get this error only when running the VI (built as an executable) as a regular user. When I run it as root, no problem.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alex,

We've seen this issue before with Linux users (for example http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=63457&requireLogin=False), it seems as though you'll have to change some permissions in Linux if you want to use TCP when not logged in as root.

Hope it helps-

Hi Travis,

Thank you for your answer. I just found what happens... When you try to create a listener on a port lower than 1024 and you doesn't have the superuser privileges, you get that error. Hope this will help!

Thanks,

Alex
