I've done some of this with my own server in RR, but AFAIK you have to
be root:
accept datagram connections on port "67" with message gotBPMsg
if the result is not empty then
answer "Network function failed: " & result() & return & "You
must run as root on Linux for socket operations."

Anyone know a way around running a socket server as root (well, on Linux
and I assume Mac OS X)? Works fine on Windows as any user, which is why
worms and viruses like it so much.
