*Investigates*

Oh dear.  The fault is mine, I'm afraid; there's a bug there
preventing anyone from specifying the port number in the configuration
file.  The problem can be worked around by adding the command line
"--port" argument (with port number) to the DAEMON_ARGS variable in
the "/etc/default/mandos" file.  The command line option --port works
fine - using the config file for it is buggy.

A small part of me wonders, though, why you would want to set the port
number?  It's completely unnecessary; you should leave it unset and it
will work fine.

Anyway, I'm very terribly ashamed about this.  I'll expect us to
release a fixed version out in a couple of days.  Until then, please
use the above workaround, or better yet, leave the port number unset.
