hi i got this error when running your chat application.

python manage.py runserver_socketio 

SocketIOServer running on 127.0.0.1:9000

FAILED to start flash policy server: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ('0.0.0.0', 843)

is this because i am running this inside a virtualenv?

I added a note to the docs about it here: 655da55

Basically you need to run the server with root privileges for the low port required by the flash policy server that the flashsocket transport will use. This isn't required for everything to work correctly, as the flashsocket transport is only used as one of several fallbacks when websockets aren't available.

How big of a security risk is that?
