maybe you can just code a c program to open a socket at the particular port
.... that will preventany other connections at that port

I want to know how can we make a port be occupied in GNU/Linux.
For example I want to make something listen on port 80, 3306, etc
ports by not actually running a webserver, mysql, etc respectively.
use netcat
Netcat will quit after one connection (I haven't seen any option in
the Linux default one to behave as a forking server), so a better
option might be to use xinetd/discard service on the ports you want to
disable.
