Well, it can only make sure of that for daemons that actually allow systemd to bind the ports for it, i.e. support socket activation. I have the patch ready for CUPS. But what else would there be to patch? Which is why I was wondering what other daemons are there that use portreserve right now? i.e. what other daemons bind to ports in the range that ypbind and friends like to play games in?
