Yes, only root can access the ports less than 1024.
Just now I saw that rcp was a SUID routine, so it must be able to bind that port.
Maybe I made some other mistakes.
Thanks for your help.
I am sorry my post is a little off topic :)
Yes, ports < 1024 are reserved ports for "public" applications and only
the superuser can bind them. To use them, you need to be a superuser. I
am not familar with rcp (I would use scp even for local transfers) but
it should be able to run on another port.
