This cookbook will install authbind for Ubuntu and then allow you to use a resource named authbind_port, authbind_addr, authbind_uid which will allow you to bind to ports based on the port used and they belong to the user who is running the script.
- First cut of "stable". Only has port add
- Added byaddr and byuid and delete for all the providers. Thanks to Pre-ChefCon hacknight.

None but you could use [:attribute][:enabled] for your app to flag it.
Put recipe[authbind] first in the run list. If you have other recipes that you want to use to configure how authbind behaves, like new port, notify the port resource to run, e.g.:
authbind_port "443" do
owner "nobody"
group "nogroup"
action :add
end
authbind_addr "0.0.0.0" do
port "443"
action :add
end
authbind_uid "1001" do
action :add
end
To delete a authbind just do it backwards and set the action :delete.
The above will run during execution phase since it is a normal template resource, and should appear before other package resources that need the sources in the template.
