Why not allow users to run those services on higher ports? There is no rule that pop has to be on 110, for example. The users will just need to configure their client software to use another port.
In the pop3 example, yes -- but think of other things like SMTP. I don't see how you could get around that one. (Yes, I really do want user to run their own non-root smtp service in this case. No I've not lost my mind, I'm just testing things....) Thanks JW
