Most systems implement a restriction where only processes run by root can take ports <1024. The default start scripts for rabbit will actually start Rabbit as a "rabbitmq" user, so in order to take a well-known port, you'd need to alter these scripts.<br>
<br>Be warned however that Rabbit doesn't support the features normally required by daemons that use well-known ports, such as the ability to open the port then drop to the context of a less privileged user. This means that a Rabbit running as root will stay running as root.<br>

Hello,<br><br>I am having trouble getting rabbitmq to listen on a "well-known" port. I am guessing there is some implemented restriction for listening on any port less than 1024.<br><br>How can I get around this?<br>
