Hi Kevin,
Are you using the apache connector ? If so, then set up apache to run
as nobody, or httpd (it probably is already) and set the connector
port above 1024. Then you'll be able to run tomcat under a normal user
account, and the connector will provide your link to port 80.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Marcus
