Bug#597135: nstx is hardcoded to start on port 53, it should be configurable



Package: nstx
Version: 1.1-beta6-5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

>From the source code:

    nstx_tuntap.c
    169:    sock.sin_port = htons(53);
    190:    sock.sin_port = htons(53);
    198:                  "listening on UDP-Port 53 on %s\n",
    204:          fprintf(stderr, "Permission denied binding port 53. You generally "
    213:    fprintf(stderr, "listening on 53/UDP\n");

I have a setup where I want to run a *real* DNS server on port 53, but
selectively forward things to nstx with iptables depending on the
remote host.

That's not possible without patching the source.
