OT [was: Re: Starting a different process for each java operation]
Hi, Another question - Can tomcat be run as another user other then root like httpd is? Yes, tomcat can be run as any user you want. Can I continue on this which is OT? Which standard users can start tomcat on port 80? except for root? Regards Werner - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Howdy, Which standard users can start tomcat on port 80? except for root? Any user you want, by using the commons-daemon implementation that comes with tomcat 5 (and can work with tomcat 4 as well).

Hi! Werner van Mook wrote: Can I continue on this which is OT? Which standard users can start tomcat on port 80? except for root? This very much depends on the platform tomcat runs on. On Linux and most Un*x-like operationg systems, no user except root (i.e. anyone with effective uid 0) may open ports below 1024. Hence, on these platforms, no other user can start tomcat on port 80, at least not without outside help. What native unix-programs (like apache) do is they meddle with the uid they are running under by the means of kernel function calls, dropping their root-privileges after they open port 80 and do other privileged stuff. Since I had no need for this myself, I do not know if there is any solution around that allows java programms to effectively do the same. Phil -- And on the seventh day, He exited from append mode.

Yes, jakarta commons-daemon which comes bundled with tomcat 5 and also works with tomcat 4.
