>Description:
As the documentation says, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mac-portacl.html, mac_portacl(4) can be used to allow non-root processes to bind their preferred ports, even <1024, if the administrator so desires.
It would be cool to have a knob in rc.d scripts (eg, $mydaemon_user or something similar) to start daemons without root privileges right from the beginning and take advantage of mac_portacl's possibilities.
