Hi > Okay, I suppose you all are right saying that it's better not to run as root. But does the same apply to Windows?
No, on Windows usual users are allowed to bind ports below 1024, which is the only problem for tomcat. Create any user account you want, give it sufficient access rights to tomcats folders. Done. (Maybe you need to give it some read rights for the registry configuration of the service loader. If thats a problem start tomcat using srvany (deprecated!).) [Also, you might need to give that user rights to "log on as service and log on locally", but surely no special file oder registry access rights other that those mentioned above.] > We're using Tomcat 4.1.24 on Windows 2000 Server, and up till now we've always run Tomcat as root. There is nothing in Windows which equals "root". There is NO user, which has any right anywhere. [You could configure this though, but you should not. It is nice for different admins to have private folders, where no other admin can look inside. And a lot more, you know.] > I don't see a jvsc-script or directory. Do I need to upgrade to TC5 to be able to use the script? You shouldnot need, afaict. Simply change the service's user.
