I am able to 'accept' UDP and TCP on OS X as any user.

I didn't realize Linux would have the constraint and am interested in 
the answer to this.

(My problem is that I have a client/server acting up and I want to see 
which one is the problem.  I want to have some non-Rev service to send 
a UDP response to see if the client has trouble.)
