Greetings,                                                                      
                                                                                
I run a machine that is used for hosting MUDs, MUSHes, and other similar        
things. 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?                                  
                                                                                
Jamie
