What?? Codacon binding to an inet port?? It should try to open a unix
domain socket. And it definitely does not have to run setuid!

    telos- ls -l /usr/bin/codacon 
    -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        38050 Jun 23 21:04 /usr/bin/codacon
    telos- ps auxwww | grep codacon
    jaharkes  3653  0.0  0.1  1112   188  p9 S   Sep 18   2:02 codacon 

'strace codacon':
    socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 3
    connect(3, {sun_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/usr/coda/spool/mariner"}, 110)=0

'strace codacon -tcp':
    socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
    connect(3, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(2430), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = 0

(The mariner tcp-port on venus is by default disabled, it only exists for
backwards compatibility and `demo' purposes).
