好的，感谢那些指出系统和CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE功能的人。如果您有一个最新的内核，确实可以使用它来以非root身份启动服务，但绑定低端口。简单的回答是:

setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/program

然后在任何程序执行之后，它都将具有CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE能力。Setcap在debian包libcap2-bin中。

现在要注意的是:

You will need at least a 2.6.24 kernel This won't work if your file is a script. (i.e. uses a #! line to launch an interpreter). In this case, as far I as understand, you'd have to apply the capability to the interpreter executable itself, which of course is a security nightmare, since any program using that interpreter will have the capability. I wasn't able to find any clean, easy way to work around this problem. Linux will disable LD_LIBRARY_PATH on any program that has elevated privileges like setcap or suid. So if your program uses its own .../lib/, you might have to look into another option like port forwarding.

能力(7)手册页。如果您打算在生产环境中使用功能，请仔细阅读这篇文章。这里详细介绍了如何在exec()调用之间继承功能的一些非常棘手的细节。 Setcap手册页 “在GNU/Linux上绑定1024以下的端口，没有根”:第一次让我想到setcap的文档。

注意:RHEL首次在v6中添加了这个功能。

现代Linux支持/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=0。

您可以进行端口重定向。这就是我为运行在Linux机器上的Silverlight策略服务器所做的工作

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 943 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1300

出于某种原因，没有人提到降低sysctl net.ipv4。Ip_unprivileged_port_start到您需要的值。 示例:我们需要将应用程序绑定到443端口。

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=443

有些人可能会说，存在潜在的安全问题:非特权用户现在可能绑定到其他特权端口(444-1024)。 但是你可以用iptables通过阻塞其他端口轻松解决这个问题:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 444:1024 -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 444:1024 -j DROP

与其他方法的比较。这个方法:

from some point is (IMO) even more secure than setting CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE/setuid, since an application doesn't setuid at all, even partly (capabilities actually are). For example, to catch a coredump of capability-enabled application you will need to change sysctl fs.suid_dumpable (which leads to another potential security problems) Also, when CAP/suid is set, /proc/PID directory is owned by root, so your non-root user will not have full information/control of running process, for example, user will not be able (in common case) to determine which connections belong to application via /proc/PID/fd/ (netstat -aptn | grep PID). has security disadvantage: while your app (or any app that uses ports 443-1024) is down for some reason, another app could take the port. But this problem could also be applied to CAP/suid (in case you set it on interpreter, e.g. java/nodejs) and iptables-redirect. Use systemd-socket method to exclude this problem. Use authbind method to only allow special user binding. doesn't require setting CAP/suid every time you deploy new version of application. doesn't require application support/modification, like systemd-socket method. doesn't require kernel rebuild (if running version supports this sysctl setting) doesn't do LD_PRELOAD like authbind/privbind method, this could potentially affect performance, security, behavior (does it? haven't tested). In the rest authbind is really flexible and secure method. over-performs iptables REDIRECT/DNAT method, since it doesn't require address translation, connection state tracking, etc. This only noticeable on high-load systems.

根据具体情况，我将在sysctl、CAP、authbind和iptables-redirect之间进行选择。我们有这么多选择真是太好了。

标准方法是将它们设置为“setuid”，以便它们以根用户身份启动，然后在它们绑定到端口但开始接受到该端口的连接之前丢弃根用户特权。您可以在Apache和INN的源代码中看到这样的好例子。我听说莱特特警局是另一个很好的例子。

另一个例子是Postfix，它使用多个通过管道通信的守护进程，其中只有一两个守护进程(除了接受或发出字节外几乎不做任何事情)以根身份运行，其余的守护进程以较低的权限运行。

ip6tables现在支持IPV6 NAT: http://www.netfilter.org/projects/iptables/files/changes-iptables-1.4.17.txt

您将需要内核3.7+
