I am dealing with this in my Port ACL patch. The range used for random (aren't they called anonymous as well?) port assignments will be tunable, on a per-user basis if you like, and the range need not be contiguous, so you could reserve 6000-6020 for X, another range for IRC, etc.
You can search the archives for the string "PACL" to see my original announcement, or just send me mail. If anyone plans to do some work on this, then PLEASE contact me. My scheme might not be the best one, so if anyone else has a better idea, I'd like to integrate that into PACL. Plus, the sysctl interface for pacl is sorta-close to done.
Can you post a copy of this patch when it nears completion? I'd like to merge it into the current 2.1.x networking quickly after you are ready with it, so this problem can be history.
Later, David "Sparc" Miller davem@caip.rutgers.edu
