• Logging in as root on Mac OS X to configure MassTransit listens on ports less than 1024 (primarily affects FTP and default SSL port) 

  With the initial release of MassTransit 4.2 for Mac OS X, it is necessary to be logged into the machine as the special root user to enable listens on ports less than 1024. This is necessary when using MassTransit as an FTP server (listens on port 21) and for SSL listens on the standard 443 port. It would also apply if you choose to enable TCP/IP or SSL listens on other ports less than 1024. This limitation will be addressed in a future release.

  If MassTransit is running as any other user than root and listens on ports less than 1024 are enabled you will see the one of the following error message in the Status window and in the Log:

  “TCP/IP Secure reports: Could not listen on that port or socket. MassTransit must be running with root privileges to listen on ports less than 1024. [-3212] (40005)”

  “Initialization of the FTP server failed [-3212]. MassTransit must be running with root privileges to listen with FTP.”

  Note: This affects listens for incoming calls only. MassTransit can place outgoing calls on any port even when not running as root. When using MassTransit as an FTP client the calls are outgoing and the root user requirement does not apply as it would when using MassTransit as an FTP server.
