setcap solves the problem in the wrong way in this scenario imho: With setcap, any user could run node with a node script using ports < 1024.
What would be more useful is the ability to allow a _user_ to open a privileged port. In my option mappu's answer is the right way to go, i.e. using authbind to allow a certain user to open a port or a range of ports.
