What I would like to do is set things up so that when I assign a port to a game or person, that only the account that I give permission to can bind to that port. Is there a way to do this at this time in FreeBSD? Also, I know some programs use high ports for normal operation. I want to try, as much as possible, to make users unable to bind games and bots and such to ports if they don't have permission. Is this feasible, or am I only likely to get to reserve specific ports and the rest will always be a free-for-all for the unscrupulous?
