Is the ssh program suid? If not then it can't allocate port 1023 since
that is a privileged port that requires root or suid on the binary. If you
wish to keep ssh -s like myself (it only breaks rhosts type
authentication which sucks any way) then add this to your ssh_config:
UsePrivilegedPort no
This will tell ssh not to even try using ports < 1024.
good luck
