[Zope] - A little problem...

I don't know if this might be of general interest, but I would greatly
appreciate any help.

I am at the moment trying to set up a Zope server on a machine on which I
don't have root access. The only problem is getting it to run on port 80.
The admin mentioned something about making a suid root c-program that
bound to- and turned over port 80 to a non-privileged Zope process. (I
guess suid-zope would be a *bad idea*, since it's interpreted.)

But I don't know how I can hand over a socket like that... Especially not
how Zope would handle it... Any ideas?
