>From the PORT.USAGE document:

   Pick the max of (2 * inparallel) and (3 * largest maxdumps).
   Allocate at least that many ports in the unprivileged
   (1024 or larger) range.

Three questions:

Did you allocate sufficient number of ports?

Are they in the unprivileged range?

Is the proper syntax for the option ...=N1,N2 or ...=N1-N2?
