How do you protect ports greater than 1024 from any user binding to them?
E.g. port 1080.
Should the OS manage port number allocations? I don't think so
based on the notion of ports being names in an uncontrolled flat
namespace. The whole problem is that people want to make assumptions
about the applications providing services on a particular port, and
no amount of OS control is going to solve that one.
This means that the OS should allow any user to bind to all ports, even those <1024.
