Privileged ports can only be forwarded by root.

Privileged ports can only be forwarded by root error.

No way of knowing how to forward root ports on windows, since there is no "root" access for running this app.

NaCl plugin exited with status code 255.
(R)econnect, (C)hoose another connection, or E(x)it?

to be clear, you want to forward a local privileged port to a remote unprivileged port ?  what is the command line you're using exactly ?

please post to the group so others can follow/post

looks to me like you're trying to allocate a reserved port (445) on the remote side as well as the local side, and do so as non-root.  so you are correctly being rejected.

As the owner/operator of the Chromebook, one might want, for example, to have https://localhost/ "just work" via a port-forwarded 443.

Do any ChromeOS functions rely on ports 0-1023 being secure?  Removing the restriction might be the correct move, if not.  Otherwise, some minimal code-path that could grab the socket then drop privileges, perhaps?
