[X-Newbies] Port Nos

Hi all,

I've just installed a new router and the syslog requires me to input a
port number, possibly  for it to watch for attacks.  The default is 514,
I guess for Windows users, but it says that the number should be greater
than 1024 for MacOSX.

Why, and has anyone any suggestions as to which port number I should use?

Thanks,

Chris
