RE: Re: xAP over ethernet - here's how to write an input plugin.

["Ben McCormack" <ben.mccormack@xxxxxxx>]

Hi

I install Oracle DB products every day and they need upward of 30 ports
free for installation. What we usually do is to do a netstat -a grep
<port> and if it is free then use it. As mentioned before we do
not
usually use ports under 1024.

Oracle software is designed to run on any port, anything you design
should try to follow this model as you never know what is going to be
running on the Server and what port it is hardcoded to use.

Hope this helps

Ben

True but theres only 65k ports available for use of which 1024 are root
owned under unix leaving only 64k.  I think it will always be hard
to
choose a port not in use by another piece of software etc.  I guess
it
all depends on the scope of the project.  unlike http on port 80
we
probably dont need the port free on every machine on the internet ;-)

k.

p/s as an aside the question of ownership of a port is a tough one to
answer, does prior claim have any hold here?

Dunno, guess so, but it does seem perverse to deliberately use a port 
that "belongs" to someone else!
