CIFS Server Network Bind Error

Ver: Alfresco 1.3
Host: RedHat Linux ES4 U3
Tomcat: 5.5

I'm attempting to get Alfresco to bind higher SMB/CIFS ports as I'm running tomcat as an unprivilieged user. (I'm using iptable to route to the non-standard ports.) From the documentation and other forums threads I believe I've configured Alfresco properly but am still getting a bind error.

<alfrescoRoot>/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml key settings: (I've redacted the IP numbers)

      <host name="${localname}_A" domain="AD"/>
       <bindto>10.*.*.*</bindto>
      <broadcast>10.*.*.255</broadcast>
      <tcpipSMB port="2445"/>
      <netBIOSSMB bindto="10.*.*.*" sessionPort="2139" namePort="2137" datagramPort="2138"/>
      <hostAnnounce interval="5"/>
      <Win32NetBIOS/>
      <Win32Announce interval="5"/>
      <WINS>
         <primary>10.*.*.*</primary>
         <secondary>10.*.*.*</secondary>
      </WINS>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Regardless of inserting platforms="linux,solaris,macosx" in the tcpipSMB and netBIOSSMB tags generates the same binding error.

All insights appreciated. (I should note that setting the FTP Server port to a non-privileged port was successfull; and that with the iptable prerouting I can connect to the Alfresco FTP Server instance without pause.)

Whatever the issues there were they are absent in the 2.0 series of Alfresco….
