我知道这是一个老问题，但是现在有了最新的(>= 4.3)内核，这个问题终于有了一个很好的答案——环境能力。

快速的答案是从git中获取libcap的最新(尚未发布的)版本的副本并编译它。将生成的progs/capsh二进制文件复制到某个地方(/usr/local/bin是一个不错的选择)。然后，作为根用户，使用

/usr/local/bin/capsh --keep=1 --user='your-service-user-name' \
    --inh='cap_net_bind_service' --addamb='cap_net_bind_service' \ 
    -- -c 'your-program'

按顺序，我们是

声明当切换用户时，我们希望保持当前的功能集 切换用户和组到“your-service-user-name” 将cap_net_bind_service功能添加到继承的&环境集 派生bash -c 'your-command'(因为capsh会自动用——后面的参数启动bash)

这里隐藏着很多秘密。

Firstly, we are running as root, so by default, we get a full set of capabilities. Included in this is the ability to switch uid & gid with the setuid and setgid syscalls. However, ordinarily when a program does this, it loses its set of capabilities - this is so that the old way of dropping root with setuid still works. The --keep=1 flag tells capsh to issue the prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS) syscall, which disables the dropping of capabilities when changing user. The actual changing of users by capsh happens with the --user flag, which runs setuid and setgid.

The next problem we need to solve is how to set capabilities in a way that carries on after we exec our children. The capabilities system has always had an 'inherited' set of capabilities, which is " a set of capabilities preserved across an execve(2)" [capabilities(7)]. Whilst this sounds like it solves our problem (just set the cap_net_bind_service capability to inherited, right?), this actually only applies for privileged processes - and our process is not privileged anymore, because we already changed user (with the --user flag).

新的环境能力集解决了这个问题——它是“在一个没有特权的程序的执行中保存的一组能力。”通过将cap_net_bind_service放在环境集中，当capsh exec执行我们的服务器程序时，我们的程序将继承此功能，并能够将侦听器绑定到低端口。

如果您有兴趣了解更多信息，功能手册页详细解释了这一点。通过strace运行capsh也是非常有用的!

还有一种“djb方式”。您可以使用此方法以运行在tcpserver下任何端口上的根用户身份启动您的进程，然后在进程启动后，它将把进程的控制权立即交给您指定的用户。

#!/bin/sh

UID=$(id -u username)
GID=$(id -g username)
exec tcpserver -u "${UID}" -g "${GID}" -RHl0 0 port /path/to/binary &

将8080端口绑定为80端口，开放80端口:

sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

然后以普通用户身份在8080端口上运行程序。

然后，您将能够在端口80上访问http://127.0.0.1

2015年9月:

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+

证明:

[09:09:23] root@X:~ ip6tables -t nat -vnL
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination
    0     0 REDIRECT   tcp      eth0   *       ::/0                 ::/0                 tcp dpt:80 redir ports 8080

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 6148 packets, 534K bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT 6148 packets, 534K bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination

使用systemd，您只需要稍微修改您的服务以接受预激活的套接字。

稍后可以使用systemd套接字激活。

不需要任何功能、iptables或其他技巧。

这是这个简单的python http服务器示例中的相关systemd文件的内容

文件httpd-true.service

[Unit]
Description=Httpd true 

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/httpd-true
User=subsonic

PrivateTmp=yes

文件httpd-true.socket

[Unit]
Description=HTTPD true

[Socket]
ListenStream=80

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

你可以设置一个本地SSH隧道，例如，如果你想要端口80击中你的应用绑定到3000:

sudo ssh $USERNAME@localhost -L 80:localhost:3000 -N

这样做的优点是可以使用脚本服务器，而且非常简单。
