Well, it can only make sure of that for daemons that actually allow
systemd to bind the ports for it, i.e. support socket activation. I have
the patch ready for CUPS. But what else would there be to patch?

Which is why I was wondering what other daemons are there that use
portreserve right now? i.e. what other daemons bind to ports in the
range that ypbind and friends like to play games in?
