Should warn on < 1024 local port forwarding #604

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
If you elect to forward a port below 1024, the forwarding silently fails - 
presumably because the app isn't running as root so doesn't have the right to 
listen on privileged ports.

I think it would make sense to throw a warning if the user tries to set up port 
forwarding using a local port < 1024.
