I think this can be filtered easily in the kernel. The patch in the kernel
has to be simple, because other kernel maintainer will refuse it. Even
if IMHO, the vserver concept is the future. I will probably never install
a multi-purpose server without spreading those services in different
vserver. We have a server at the office we want to shut down for 2 years
now. But no one is really sure of all the stuff it does...

Everything is true until it is false :-). Try a sniffer. And keep us posted!
