Hello all,

I have been running Linux for over a year and finally have an opportunity to
try out FreeBSD.  I am VERY impressed so far (am thinking of replacing Linux
on my main user machine due to the networking features) but I am having a
few problems with setting up some software:

I am trying to get UUCP to work with TCP and also get NFS working.  In both
cases, however, I am getting error messages that mention "bind" and
"permission denied":

From Taylor UUCP when I attempt to set up a uucico daemon to watch the uucp
port:

FATAL: bind: Permission denied

From nfsd when I try to get that going:

nfsd:[181]: Can't bind addr

I get "permission denied" messages when I attempt to mount a directory.

Are these problems related, and what do I need to do to fix them?  Is the
system trying to create a socket file and doesn't have permission to create
one?

I am running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 bin distribution (downloaded about a week ago).  

Thanks.  I hope you FreeBSD people out there are as friendly and helpful as
Linuxers.
