Hi Martin,
Yes, I run James as root; but only because I couldn't find an easy way
to run it as anything else.
What's so hard at running James as non-root? The only 'problem' is that you cannot
bind to port 25 but that can be easily solved by running James on port 2525 (or
any other post > 1024) and using iptables to map port 25 to 2525.
That's an interesting idea that hadn't occurred to me!
I guess I've been spoiled with other software like Tomcat where you can
use something like JSVC which starts running the software as root and
then after opening the appropriate ports switches to another user.
Regards,
David Legg
