On a mac, being the administrator doesn't mean you are root  
automatically, a small security measure. Unlike *cough* other  
operating systems where root/admin is a theoretical concept, with  
fuzzy implementation completely side-stepped by all users on the  
machine...

Lastly if you dig about in the os-x unix roots you'll find sudo so  
you can set a squeak process to run as super user to get access to  
ports < 1024 and the user does not have to be admin. However this is  
not a good solution you might consider some more research to see how  
to avoid running squeak as root.
