Re: Starting Tomcat without logging in as root?

[John Turner]

True, but it doesn't help much if everyone has a Tomcat configured to 
listen on port 80.

If I have 10 students, and they each need their own Tomcat instance, using 
ports less than 1024 doesn't make much sense, as there are other network 
services in that port space.  So using > 1024 doesn't need su.

there is a utility called sudo that enables you to give regular users
permissions to run commands as privileged users. If you use it, your
users will be able to stop/start tomcat, while it is installed in
another account (in your case root), without being able to su to root.

Plus they would each need an instance of Tomcat in their home
directory, I'd say that's where the permission denied is coming from it's 
probably
currently installed in /opt/tomcat4 or some such.
