This is to prevent you from starting up a telnet daemon and reading passwords from users trying to log in. That explains why you now have to be root. If you change just one machine from the 700 sockets to the 200 sockets, you're not going to get a lot of traffic, because everybody else on the network is still using 700's. I don't know what else you're trying to talk to, but on KFPS 4's there's an option to select use of the official socket numbers. I think it's a compile- time option for KIP, but don't quote me.
