Yes. Just use mac_portacl kernel module: kldload mac_portacl Once loaded, it duplicates net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh protection with its own security.mac.portacl.port_high, so it's safe to disable "reservedhigh" for whole system by running sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh=0 for host. The trick is that mac_portacl provides a way to selectively give permission for non-root UID to bind low ports: security.mac.portacl.rules=uid:88:tcp:80,uid:88:tcp:443,uid:53:tcp:53,uid:53:udp:53 It works just fine for a host and I use it for name servers utilizing port 53 for a box with dynamically created interfaces, so it may bind the port for distinct IP addresses after it dropped privilegies when new interface is created and get new IP assigned. I have not tried it for a jails, though.
