Subject: RE: Ruby on Port 23 without admin access

Ok.  Well, this is kind of a drag.  I want the software to answer the telnet
port, but I wanted to set it up so if somehow someone found a hole in it,
they would be stuck in one directory tree.  

If I run it as root, it could be very dangerous...

If I run it on say, port 2323, the I suspect people will have more trouble
connecting. 

Ideas?

Thanks,

mark
