I agree with Lee that it's bad security practice, however, the solution requiring you to know the ports to be used in advance is also not working. Normal customers don't know how to, so just open everything. More skilled users can not always find the required port numbers to open and revert to the practice described before.
Au contraire, .. that's why we *support* our clients - if they need a port opened for some reason, we just login remotely & do it for them [as we would for all systems affected], or use ZenWorks. Helps justify a support agreement! I would argue that you don't really HAVE such requirements for 'typical' users, as their needs can be predicted by work or fiat well in advance.
