[Twisted-Python] Twisted perspective broker on port 80, problem

[Dorian Raymer]

If you want to run PB on port 80, you need to start twistd with root
privileges.

Do you really want to serve PB on port 80?
You probably want to serve it on an un-privileged port (> 1023). I think the
spread source suggests 8787 as the port to use for a PBServer.
