Port 0? I think that is beyond my skills. Port 1 is unfortunately
reserved by Gtk-Gnutella. If you set it to 1, it will be pick a random
port. That's the default setting so that simple port blocking cannot
stop it.

Gtk-Gnutella supports it natively if you compile it against Socker but you
can also use the LD_PRELOAD hack if it wasn't compiled with support for it.
