RE: running on 80 as user
No, ports below 1000 are well-known ports. Administrator privilege is required to open a connection on one of these well-known ports. You therefore require root privileges to run tomcat on port 80. -Original Message- From: T [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 5:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: running on 80 as user Can I run Tomcat as standalone on port 80, as a user instead of as root?

No, regular users aren't supposed to have access to any ports below 1024 on a unix machine. Which is posix standard. Before you mention it apache (and netscape and etc) can do it because they run a native administrative process that runs under root.
