Under the 2.6 linux kernel, you should be able to use capabilities to

Speaking of
SIMH..
SIMH requires root privileges to do its networking (at least on most
of its unix host OS's), understandably, but I'm not happy with
it...
I'm not happy with this either. The same problem exists with KLH10.
The best solution I've seen is a special "hardened" Linux distro on
CD that you boot from to run the emulator. I've not gotten that
motivated.
