Having taken a more recent look at "/etc/services", I
am finding zillions of service ports above 1024.

With that in mind, is there a better starting port
for my "unassigned" ports?


Sadly these days nope - the assigned port numbers are now all over the place.

However, alot of them are not likely to be in use on your system so
you ought to define your unassigned port range by what you are
actually running not by the contents of /etc/services (same goes for
protocols).

So, pick the highest port I use and go somewhat above that.
That will work.  Thank you!
