Hi all
I was rereading our excellent forthcoming seaside book :)

"To listen on port 80, the standard port used by the HTTP protocol, the
web server needs to run as root. Running a public service as root is
a huge security issue. Dedicated web servers such as Apache drop
their root privileges after startup. This allows them to listen to port
80 while not being root. Unfortunately this is not something that can
be easily done from within the Smalltalk VM. "
And I was wondering what is the exact problem?
