A temporary solution, please give some feedback to the list:
_IF_ you're using ntsec, please try the following:
Change your /etc/passwd file on the client box so that the
administrator (or your favorite admins member name) has uid 0.
This should allow that admin to use a privileged port when
starting ssh.
If you're not using ntsec, this won't work. Please give a
feedback to the list, nevertheless.
