ss5 and netstat

I am using ss5 on fedora 11, trying to start in on a custom port, but it seems to end up listen on 1080. please see netstat below, and why is the local address 255.255.255.255?

ss5 -b 0.0.0.0/123

From serverfault

• I believe you want to specify ss5 -b 0.0.0.0:123. So you'll use a : instead of a /

  Also if you're using port 123 you need to run the command as root

  The slash you're specifying may also be part of your problem with how it shows up in netstat-typically with a slash you're specifying a netblock.

  : yes you are right on both, I should've issued: ss5 -u root -b 0.0.0.0:123
