Do you mean "make an SSH connection from a low-numbered port"?   What
version are you using?  Exactly what command(s) are you running?  IPv4
or v6?

As of
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/73ddb25bae (version
7.8p1 and newer) ssh(1) just delegates the permission check to the
underlying operating system and doesn't enforce anything itself.
