    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.
