3) What I expected to happen is when I looked into the Ubuntu Help
Center for "authbind", I would not see:

"Ports from 512 to 1023 inclusive cannot be used with authbind because that would create a security hole, in conjection with
rshd."

4) What happened instead is that I saw the above quote, in contradiction
to Ubuntu authbind bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/authbind/+bug/347211

Which notes this restriction is removed.
