Re: Guidance needed on well known ports

you shouldn't allow unrestricted access to the network from unmanaged
hosts, that's a recipe for disaster.

no, what's a disaster is to use source IP addresses or port numbers as
an indication of trustworthiness on any network that extends beyond a
single room.  the notion that you can "manage" significant numbers of
hosts to ensure their trustworthiness is delusional.
