Neat. I suspect they made kernel changes that makes it possible for
certain users to run services on priviliged ports for specific,
configurable IPs.

This also tackles the problem of people going to your homedir and reading
your files -- the webserver is running as yourself so noone but you needs
any kind of access to these files.

Neat, neat, neat. Looks like I'll have some kernel hacking to do in the
near future.
