Re: Axis runs as root?

I would assume that you are getting this behavior because you are 
running Tomcat itself as root. Perhaps you are listening on port 80 
(which requires you to run as root).

I have an Axis service that creates a file on the server's file

it's owned by root!  Does axis run as root by default?  How do I 
change it to run as, say, "nobody"?  I looked through 
$tomcat/conf/server.xml and $axis/WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd and 
didn't see any properties that would let me set what user these apps 
run as.

Ideas, anyone?
