    Is there any point in needing to be root in order to allocate the low ports
    on unix-like systems, anymore? Could we get away from having to have some
    daemons even have a root stub in order to listen on a low port? What would
    break, and what new holes would be created? Could some sort of port ACL
    simply be used that says a particular UID can allocate a particular range
    of ports?

    Discuss.
