Linux, and all other Unix systems, restrict ports < 1024 to processes running root,
for security reasons. You should not run Tomcat as root, because it would give all
your servlets root privileges.
Approaches to consider for serving servlets/JSPs on port 80:
* Configure Apache to forward servlet and JSP requests to Tomcat
(as outlined in the instructions).
* Find a port redirector utility (like the "redir" command available,
at least, on Debian systems) to redirect requests on port 80 to
the port your Tomcat is running on.
