The problem was that one of the other administrators ran Titan
(http://www.fish.com/titan) without informing me that he'd be running the
disable-NFS.bind.sh module. This module changes the setting for both
tcp_smallest_nonpriv_port and udp_smallest_nonpriv_port to 2050 in order
to make the nfs port (2049) a privileged port so as to, "...eliminate some
of the port looping through rpcbind tricks and some of the other NFS
access tricks."
Thanks,

[--original question--]
We have a fresh install of Oracle 8.0.6 on an e250 running Solaris 2.6,
and for some reason we're unable to get the listener to bind to the
standard Oracle ports (1521-1529), but it will bind to 2500. lsof and a
portscan (tcp/udp) of the machine show nothing running on those ports.
Oracle, when started, complains with:
TNS-12546: TNS:permission denied
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00516: Permission denied
Solaris Error: 13: Permission denied
...and exits. Oracle support says that it's a problem with the OS, Sun
claims it's a problem with Oracle. I'm leaning towards believing Oracle,
but i'm not exactly sure what's going on..
